Picasa

Long ago I used to view stuff with a Google viewer called Picasa because, back then, it was the only non-Sigma app that could open my .X3F raw files from my Sigma SD9 DSLR on my (Adobe-free, no ACR) computer.

Then it disappeared from the web, bemoaned by many at the time. Today I discovered that it still lives as stand-alone app, albeit somewhat tightly connected to one's Google Photo accounts - of which I have a few.

Don't know if it does Mac or Linux, sorry.

I could be wrong about a Linux version of Picasa, I don’t think there was one. There was definitely a Mac version. Comments show that the last Picasa for Mac won’t work on modern Macs.

Picasa for Mac was 32 Bit Software. I presumed wrongly that it may have been 64 Bit Software, which future Mac Software (from 2016/17) were.

Those Macs may or may not have had Rosetta 2 which allows Intel based software to run on Apple Silicon Macs.

Rosetta 2 is optional on Apple Silicon Macs. (M1, M2, M3, M4 or M5) up to the current version .
