Great articles Janet! I am glad you did this clear tutorial introducing more folks to Picasa. I have been using it and the web albums function for a couple of years now. I did a brief tutorial thread back in 2006 on the Daylily Forum, it was a fun thread and I got into a bit on the collage portion of it too. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/617529/
Oh Sue! I had no idea that a tutorial for that program was already here on Dave's. Thank you so much for adding this link. You have many things in there that I haven't tried out yet. I'm off to look at your tutorial and learn more about this cool program. I haven't tried out the web albums yet. I'm looking forward to learning about that.
Well, it was a very basic tutorial/learning curve for me! I have the collage down pretty good now, some shots are better than others and there are basic numbers for pleasing looking collages without getting duplicate images, 4, 6, 9 etc. I find any more than 9 and it's just too busy looking for my eyes, I prefer larger images.
Here is my old collage thread http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/551710/
Oh and you have to try that web album, same thing, click Hold on the images you want in an album, I only select the best ones, and then export/upload. Super easy to organize, add captions and send album links to friends. I love looking at them as a Slideshow. And the learning curve is much easier than the picture program. A cave man can do it! ;-)
Here's one album: http://picasaweb.google.com/SPBrown.Ca/2008FavoriteImages
