My Picasa Workflow

Here is how I manage my photos in Picasa.

• Import photos from camera over USB using Windows Photo Gallery –> Import
• Choose “Review, organize”
• Adjust time-slider to auto-split events appropriately.
• Open Picasa.
• Select all photos in new folder.
• Picture –> Batch Edit –> I’m Feeling Lucky
• Review photos individually.
  • Star photos I want to Sync to Web
  • Sync photos to web.
  • (My Sync settings: 1600px, which is big enough to fill most computer monitors, and saves storage space / bandwidth)

TODO:

Permanently resize photos down from 8 Megapixel “superfine” (98% JPEG ) to a more practical (smaller) file size. I don’t have a good plan for this yet.
