Picasa 2 vs 3 -- Use Picasa2,

"My Experience:
I absolutely love Picasa2. I had NO bad experiences with Picasa2 and not only used it with all my photos (I take a LOT of pictures) but recommended it to all my family and anyone who likes to take pictures.
About Picasa3... I downloaded this version just about a month ago (maybe April '09) and the 1st thing that happened was of the hundreds of photos I have in MANY folders, most of the vertical ones were flipped onto their sides. Secondly, Almost all of the photos had strange enhancements I had NOT given them. I deleted these and my photos were ok. I have only attempted this on a handfull so far! Today I uploaded 97 photos from my camera into my Photos file, in a new folder, in XP, gave them titles and then went to Picasa3 where a copy is always immediately transferred. I got a surprise. Titles from other folders under my pictures! Thirdly: the "Sharpen" does not work.
I'm really disappointed with Picasa3. Did this happen just to me? Was it a fluke? Should I uninstall and reinstall? OR.... are others having the same problems? IF so, will Google be correcting this and then my photos will change again when I open my files? Puzzled???
I still LOVE Picasa2 If you want a GREAT program, use it!"
