PicasaToLightroom for Windows 8 is useful when you are moving from Picasa to Lightroom. It transfers information from your Picasa database to your Lightroom catalog. The information that's transferred is the identity of photos that have been tagged in some way in Picasa. These photos include Starred photos, photos in Albums, and photos containing face identification. The information is transferred to Lightroom in the form of Lightroom Smart Collections. You are presented with a sequence of steps, where you identify your photo folder, pick your Picasa contacts file (only necessary if you want People identification), and choose which Albums, etc. you want to transfer to Lightroom. Then you go to Lightroom and import the Smart Collections created by PicasaToLightroom (detailed Lightroom instructions are provided for this step).
