Here is a default view of some photos in Picasa:

If I double-click any image I see it in full view:

When in full view I have image editing options to the left. By default you will be on the “Basic Fixes” tab. Let’s say I want to crop the image to a certain point in the photo. I click “Crop”, then “4 x 6”, then click and drag around the area I want to crop to, like this:

When I click “Apply”, the image is cropped and resized by Picasa easily – and still looks good!

To note, you can easily undo any edit in Picasa by clicking the “Undo” button at the middle-left of the screen.
