PICASA WEB ALBUM HOW TO

PICASA WEB ALBUM FREE

I'm investing many, many hours carefully documenting the metadata on my images (tags) but I'm increasingly becoming concerned that this data doesn't belong to me. But lately something has been bothering me. I try most photo sharing sites and have thousands of my images up at Webshots, Riya, Zooomr, Vizrea, tabblo, etc. I'd like to try Picasa and probably will shortly. Hopefully it will convert/resize on-the-fly when I upload to my Web Album.Īhhhh, but will Picasa get a Flickr Commercial API in order to allow us to import our photos and tags directly into it like we can with tabblo. You have to manually create your own attributes.Īwesome! The new Picasa supports Adobe DNG files! This is SO what I was looking for. I've just started dabbling with Googlebase, but it's not a particularily attractive way to browse photos. And I've yet to meet somebody who's default search engine *isn't* Google. For pros, a community may be important, but the ability for somebody to search and come across your photos trumps that. The community aspect is a weclome feature of flickr.

250MB is limiting but better than Flickr's 200 photo limit on free accounts. It is a web album site, and probably a good one. That makes it an entirely different concept to Flickr. The main issue for me is there seems to be no community aspect to it. Right.so when you consider unlimited storage on flickr, a 6gb limit on Picasa seems ridiculously constraining. * Permanent archiving of high-resolution original images Simon Cockayne edited this topic ages ago.

I guess my question is.how much storage do I need? (I have started a new thread asking how to calculate flickr storage here)Īm I right that flickr gives me unlimited storage with my Pro account?

One can upgrade to 6gb storage but that costs $25 a year.

It took me another 30 seconds to realise that only 250 mb of storage is provided free. I do have a gmail account, it took me thirty seconds to sign on and access picasa web albums. Simon Cockayne Thanks for posting the info on Picasa web albums. so d best thing to do(as i did) was ask sum1 u knw who has a gmail account to invite u.Įvery gmail user is given 99 free invites, vich is reset at regular intervals. If u have a gmail account u can access a variety of services dat google offers : orkut online community, google calendar, picasa photo album, etc.Īll u need to do is simply login using ur gmail id. :)Įarsplitting day edited this topic ages ago. Not sure I want googles 'we own the web' attitute and there, you uploaded it, it belongs to us now, and we are watching attitute any near my photos thank you very much. I don't want my photos indexed by the search engines.

I do need to explore GoogleBase and suspect that images uploaded via GoogleBase may fare best of all in Google Image Search. I could live with this if I felt that I was getting Yahoo! juice from Flickr but even there Flickr/Yahoo Image Search integration is no better than Flickr/Google Image Search integration. It's as if Google penalizes me for using Flickr, instead of their own property Picasa to upload. 'Duck' 'Rain' 'San Francisco', etc.īy contrast, any of the photos that I blog with Flickr never appear anywhere near the front page of Google image search results. I've had my imags appear consistently on the first page search results for many, many terms. The images that I upload with Picasa get fantastic Google juice. On my blog I get more traffic from Google Images than any place else.

I haven't tried this yet, but one thing that I will say.
