Google Photos is excellent and replaced Picasa, is there anything specific that Picasa did that Google Photos doesn't? Also if you have Amazon Prime they offer something similar for free.

You can. It has pretty good editing features.

Google Photos has pretty good editing tools for straightforward DIY home use. More than enough for most people.
What didn't make it from Picasa to G Photos is now contained in Snapseed.
Put them together and most bases are covered for home use.
The only niggle I have with Snapseed is it's not as easy to reduce noise as in Lightroom, but every option has a niggle somewhere.
I've both Snapseed and Lightroom, but seldom use either. G Photos does 99% of my editing/tweaking.

Once you have a photo selected you should have these options:


The third one along should give you the editing options you need, including the crop tool which looks like this:


The waste bin will delete it.

Slightly off topic but what do people now use to replace photobucket? I have edited a load of pics in Google photos but was surprised there was no ability to easily generate img tags to imbed in a forum. I can see its possible to generate a 'public' url but its a total faff....

I just use Tapatalk for sharing photos on forums from G Photos. You'll have trouble using a URL link from G Photos on a forum. It'll eventually break, as Google don't intend it to provide image hosting for forums.

And these are the other editing tools, if you don't want to use the preset filters.
As mentioned earlier, it's more than adequate for home/DIY use, and what I use 99% of the time for editing.

Hi,
This site is very useful for any old programs, I downloaded the Picasa 3.9.10.4 version and it works a treat .

Hope this meets your needs.

I still use picasa desktop. Uploads my photo automatically.

Can you expand on that please.

If you've located the crop and rotate tools then look at my post a little earlier and you'll see the other editing tools under the central icon.
(Filters are first option, then manual editing tools, then crop & rotate tools.)
