How to Recover Faces in Picasa
As long as you have a way to upload the picture to a computer, you can recover a face in Picasa. Picasa is a photo editing program owned by Google, with features useful for restoring pictures. As photos age, they show signs of wear, such as minor scratches and fading. Picaso is also capable of fixing red eye, the phenomenon that makes pupils appear red.
