Picasa enables you to not only manage all images on your hard drive, but also edit them and add various effects. You can copy images between folders in Picasa by copying the images from one folder to the clipboard and then pasting them into another folder. You can also copy an image from Picasa to the clipboard if you want to embed it into a document. If you edited the image, Picasa stores the edited image in the clipboard when you copy it.
