On Wednesday, software giant Google released Picasa 3.9.11.6, the latest version of its photo organization program for the Mac. Once installed, Picasa imports (without moving or copying) photos from the iPhoto library as well as other folders and external hard drives on your Mac.

The new version, a 33.9 megabyte download, offers the following fixes and changes:
– Fixed Sync/upload to re-upload on image size or metadata changes.
– Fixed reading jpg files saved by Gimp.
– Fixed Reading some png files with metadata errors.
– Fixed some errors storing faces in XMP data.
– “Save as” and “Save a Copy” are now re-enabled when switching away from two-up AA mode.
– The size option for uploads is now saved in the album data.
Picasa 3.9.11.6 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later to install and run.
