Might want to try a different program for raw in that case. There are some free ones out there that might work more efficiently for a low powered netbook. Viewer 2 would work, but might be really slow.
Not sure if Raw Therapee would run well but it might be worth a try. It does it on JPGs as well if you are running a bit slow. I put up with it becasue I think The Picasa editor is the most underrated piece off software available to us.
Try XnView I use it on my netbook, AcdSee on my main machine. I also don't like the way it renders them by default. In fact, none of the tools I've tried for browsing and viewing ORFs work particularly well. Note that I'm not talking about dedicated editors like Lightroom, which I use and like a lot.
It will give you a better idea of what your RAW files will end up looking like when you process them. I have a problem with Picasa that I can't find a resolve for. Sometimes I don't delete the images on my SD card because I plan to get prints or want to show them to someone before I format the card.
I cannot figure out a way to select the more recent images to download - and Picasa always downloads all them - again. One afternoon I spent hours deleting duplicate images from Picasa. The next day every image I deleted showed up again - in different albums. I posted this a few months ago in another "Picasa" thread - and another person said they had the same problem.
I find ticking the 'exclude duplicates' box above the download thumbnails on the left works for that One wrinkle to look out for is that left alone Picasa will download everything on the card into a temp folder awaiting your choices Thanks for the suggestions. I always click the exclude duplicates box.
I was under the impression that this only applies if there are duplicates in the card itself. I could be wrong. I have plenty of HD space. The first thing that is important when it comes to manging your pictures is to have a fast software program. Picasa is pretty fast to start with, but I have found a few things that will make it run even faster without affecting the great features it has. Do you have other tricks to make Picasa faster?
I would love to hear about them. Please add a comment and share your favorite Picasa setting. Excellent Lightroom and Picasa alternative. It has a very fast browser, beautiful image editing capabilities and you don't work with catalogs at all. Lightroom has excellent photo editing capabilities.
Yes, Lightroom has a steeper learning curve as you have to learn to keep your catalogs in sync with your hard drive. But if you do image editing, Adobe Lightroom is my favorite. All my invaluable digital memories are safe and secure. This is the best solution especially if you have a large quantity of media files. It is absolutely essential for keeping all your memories backed up and safe. Most people want to just organize their digital pictures and ignore these crucial steps right at the beginning Then they wonder why they can't organize their digital photos!

Many thanks, I am a challenged user but do find it a terrific tool, however of late I uninstalled as I was under control of Picasa as it opens randomly on its own command. Steven…Picasa does not open unless you open it yourself. It is generally a well behaved application. However, if you have configured Picasa to be associated with all image types when you installed it…then Picasa will open whenever you double click any image.
Since I have read of no complications re viewing an image on your net book, I presume it will work. And I discovered that Photo Trans is a great app for moving photos back and forth from the iPod to Picasa. For regular images this is fine. But for night photography it blows the images way out as it tries to level the colors, brightness and contrast.

I have an Olympus E-PL2 and am taking photos in raw. I have the codec downloaded from Olympus, so I can view the photo with Picasa in Windows, and it looks fine but a few seconds after loading the image, it goes and does something in which it looks like it desaturates the whole photo.
What is going on? I know there are many posts asking 'what is a good raw viewer' but I'm looking more for a solution for Picasa if possible since I use it for all my photo management. Sorry but you are confused. It then loads the RAW data and lets it be converted by the codec. What you see then is the RAW file with default convertion. In order to get something good from a RAW file, you have to work at it. In each case, the answer is the same: there is no such thing as displaying an "unedited RAW file".
By definition, a RAW file is sensor data not in a useful form for display. The closest you might get is an RGBG matrix with linear color, which might look kind of like an image if you stand back and squint. Instead, what you're seeing initially is the embedded JPEG preview , and then when the preview changes, you're seeing the default conversion. If you don't like the defaults, you can change them in most programs.
In Picasa, I'm not sure you can very much. One of the possible issues here is colour management. The raw rendition which you see after the initial delay may have no embedded profile, or you may need to set Picasa Color Management to "on" in View menu.
