I don’t know why I bought Photoshop Elements 4.0? Oh, yes, I remember, there was a $35 coupon at Costco a while ago. But Picasa is free and very easy to use, it can do great things for you in just one click. These photos show what happened when I used the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button with some underwater photos. Behold the “before” and “after”:

Some fish were always very friendly and would come up close. This one was too close and I wasn’t even sure the camera would focus properly in the muddy waters. With the wonder button “I’m Feeling Lucky” it changed into something beautiful!

A pretty bad and muddy photo can be transformed into something cool with a couple of clicks, first “I’m Feeling Lucky” and then by sliding a few notches on the “Color Temperature” button to make it bluer. Voila:

And a turtle turned out to have more interesting colors and patterns than we saw underwater (I cropped it too):

Allright, one last photo, which I actually thought wasn’t too bad originally:
