[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1619553, member: 24160"] Picasa indeed keeps your files in jpg if that's what they are and does not convert them into a database. It is not "technically" placing them into a database. It indexes them so that it knows where they are located - nothing more. It accesses your existing pics in the existing format without changing anything and opens the pictures from their existing location on the drive without moving anything. Picasa has been around for several years - Personally, can't foresee any possibility they are going to move to importing your pics into a database - for example the way iPhoto does. Sorry, but saying you wouldn't use something because some future version of it "might" do something you don't want it to is just plain fill in the blank. [/QUOTE]
