Upload to Picasa Web Albums: Use the Upload button in Picasa to share your photos online in Picasa Web Albums. To upload your photos to a new or existing web album, follow these steps: 1. Select the photos you’d like to upload 2. Once you’ve selected all of your photos, click the Upload button in the Photo Tray. 3. Sign in to your Google Account for Picasa Web Albums. 4. Choose your upload settings: 5. Select one of your existing online albums or click the New button to create a new one. ○ Click the areas under ‘Album Title’ and ‘Description’ to edit those fields. ○ Choose your preferred upload size. ○ Choose the visibility level for your album. ○ Click the Upload button. The Upload Manager will appear and show you the status of the upload. 6. When the upload is complete, click the View Online button in the Upload Manager to go directly to the web album in your browser. 7. Album Privacy: Manage album access As the album owner, you decide exactly who has access to your album. In addition to the different levels of album visibility, Picasa Web Albums lets you keep track of the users you’ve shared an album with. Adding people to the “Shared with” list has the following benefits: ● Easy access. The people on this list are the only ones that can see albums set to the “Sign­in required to view” access level. Plus, everyone on this list can see the album on your public gallery regardless of changes you make to album visibility. ● Email notification. Everyone you invite using the Share button is added to the list and will receive an email invitation to view your photos. They also get notified when new photos are uploaded to the album in the future. ● Collaboration. You can choose to let people on the list add photos to your album. Week Three ● Uploading review ● Sharing pictures from Picasa Web. Sharing – Granting album access Use the Share button in Picasa or Picasa Web Albums to add people to the “Shared with” list and to send them an email invitation to view the album. Follow these steps: 1. Click the Share button in the Picasa software or Picasa Web Albums. 2. Add your friends and family. You can add both individual users and entire Google contact groups to the “Shared with” list. ● Share with individual people ● Add the email addresses of the people you’d like to share with in the ‘To:’ field of the sharing dialog. Sending email invitations to group aliases won’t add each member of the group to the “Shared with” list. Read on for more information on sharing with Google contact groups. ● Share with Google contact groups ● You can also share directly with your Google Account contact groups — collections of Friends, Family, Coworkers, etc — rather than with every individual person. This gives access to all members of that group. Don’t have any contact groups? Create them in Gmail with a few clicks. ● Click Send. The Share button is the most direct way to share your photos, but there are several other convenient ways to invite your contact groups to view your photos. In Picasa Web Albums, you can share with contact groups when creating a new album or editing an existing album. In the Picasa software, you can share with contact groups when uploading or importing new photos. When sharing in this way, members of the group won’t get an email invitation; however, they’ll be notified if they’re opted into the Picasa Web Albums email digest. Managing album access You can remove an individual or a Google contact group from the “Shared with” list at any time. Just click the Edit next to the contact group to add and remove users from the group and therefore the ‘Shared with’ list. Keep in mind that changes made to Google contact groups will affect all products that use your Google contact groups.

  • A Visualization on What's Changing Google Accounts Help
    Google Accounts Help About the conversion: A visualization on what's changing Google offers different types of accounts to different types of users. Until recently, we offered two primary types of accounts that were completely separate services: Google Accounts Provide access to all Google products and services, such as Gmail, Blogger, Orkut, and Web History. Can be created with any email address, such as the email address you have with your organization, or with any webmail address (@yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.). Signing up for Gmail automatically creates a Google Account with that address. Google Apps Accounts Issued and managed by and used with your @my-domain.com organization. Provide access to only Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sites, Groups, and Video. Before the transition Google Accounts Google Apps accounts Example accounts: [email protected] Example accounts: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sample of products on Google Accounts: Only 6 products on Google Apps accounts: However, we recently transitioned Google Apps accounts so you can use your @my-domain.com address to access the same Google products and services that Google Accounts holders can. Your Google Apps Account is now a Google Account. Conflicting accounts If you've used other Google products outside of the ones you can access with your Google Apps account such as Picasa, Reader, or AdWords, you've already created a conflicting Google Account. If you used your Google Apps email address to sign up for and use those other Google services, you now have two Google Accounts, with the same address.

  • Picasa Getting Started Guide
    Picasa Getting Started Guide Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos in seconds. We recommend that you print out this brief overview of Picasa's main features and consult it as you use the program for the first time to learn about new features quickly. Organize Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. Picasa finds the following photo and movie file types: • Photo file types: JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PNG, BMP, RAW (including NEF and CRW). GIF and PNG files are not scanned by default, but you can enable them in the Tools > Options dialog. • Movie file types: MPG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV. If you are upgrading from an older version of Picasa, you will likely want to keep your existing database, which contains any organization and photo edits you have made. To transfer all this information, simply install Picasa without uninstalling Picasa already on your computer. On your first launch of Picasa you will be prompted to transfer your existing database. After this process is complete, you can uninstall Picasa. Library view Picasa automatically organizes all your photo and movie files into collections of folders inside its main Library view.
