Picasa 3 or another site to store pictures

17 years ago

I just invested in a new tower and of course everything has to be restored.

I have Picasa 3 and when I went to look at the pictures that are on the computer, there came up lots of duplicates and they are all muddled up. Is there an easy way to get them straightened up?

Perhaps there is a different program that I can install and get rid of Picasa. I am back on XP instead of Vista which I was having a lot of trouble with.

Any suggestions.

I use Picasa 3. My pictures are set to upload into Picasa, but also into My Photos. They are all in files, neatly organized. You have to create files and then make sure you import stuff where they should go. Keep them organized. Anything that duplicates you can go in and delete.

I use Picassa3 however, part of it must be corrupted, because even though it appears to close it does not, and I get program ending when I do a shut down, but NP I downloaded a photo editing program I like so much better, does so much more, and it was FREE also called PhotoScape.

I like to post images so you can see them here in the message rather than providing an outside link to the picture at another website. Here's how I do it from Mediafire, another file hosting site. 1. Post the picture to your favorite permanent location on the Internet 2. Open the picture in a different window and adjust to the size I want 3. Right-click in the picture and select Copy Image Location Then in my GardenWeb message, I use the HTML code for viewing an image. It looks like this <img src="yourURLhere"> The quotes are important - they belong there no matter what. Inside the quotes you paste your URL location. It will probably end with the extension .jpg. Thus when I type the following code into my message <img src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/4038da7fd3132a018d9998f4f9185f1f4g.jpg"> I get the following picture of the borderline between a buffalo grass lawn on the right and a scrubby fescue lawn on the left.

Looks as if you figured it out for yourself, Glenda. You can check the little box before you copy the URL if you don't want the link to your album to show up in your post. I like the feature that you can choose a size. I resize my pics to smaller sizes anyhow, because there is a limit to how many photos you can store on all these hosting sites and it is measured by total bytes, not the number of pics uploaded. I keep posting pics on Photobucket as well. Both have some desirable features. Nell

I put pictures on a regular CD that are stored in My Documents and I can add additional pictures later. I just have to make sure the File names are different from what's already on the disk. If the file names are the same they will replace what's on there.

To use picasa, once you have on your screen the photo you want to use, go to the right and click "link to this photo". You can choose the size of the photo as well as your privacy level. Then it spits out some HTML for link to or embed. Copy the stuff in the embed box. Then stick that into a post. I'm old school and use (img src=whateverthatstuffintheboxwas) using the pointy carets (sp?) instead of parentheses.

Hi mystic_2008,

I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong but if it comes down to it and you think your database is corrupted, I've included a link from the Picasa Help Forum that explains how to repair your database and restore your photos, files and edits.

I hope this helps.

are you looking for an editing program or an online storage site for your photos? hard to understand just what you want.
You will probably have to sort through your photos and pick and keep and organize them into folders.

you might want to check out gizmo's very recent article of his top picks.

he gives advice on Picasa 3 here.
Picasa 3: By going to Tools > Folder Manager you can select the specific directories you want to scan.

I don't simply trust any of these programs(totally)for my pics. I put them all in folders, which I then put on a flash drive, and also my slide shows, clips etc. are at a free on line storage place, all for safe keeping many of my movie clips of my pics. I burned to a CD or DVD also.I love making movies of my digital photo's, adding voice or music etc.
