A few questions about Picture Motion Browser for people who have it installed:

(1) What tools does it give you for modifying the images? The Sony page mentions color balance, cropping, and red-eye removal, but not other things (such as retouching the image to remove skin blemishes, which you can do in iPhoto and Picasa).

(2) Does it have any integrated upload functions for easy uploading to Facebook, Google+, or Twitter (or videos to YouTube)? How about emailing?

(3) Does it have an integrated backup function, so you can backup your photo collection to an external HDD or optical media (as opposed to just backing up your entire laptop's HDD)?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Yeah, in looking through the features and capabilities, it was looking inferior to Picasa to me (the lack of backup feature and lack of photo-retouching or blemish-removal tool), and the apparent lack of any integration with social media was downright anachronistic. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
