Save Your Edits! Using those alternate ways of sending pictures to the web means that you will be interacting with your pictures outside of Picasa, you will be uploading the picture as it is found on your hard drive rather than the one you see in Picasa that shows your edits.

#PICASA WEB MAC#

I recommend importing with standard Windows or Mac tools. I have also been hearing of some problems with importing pictures using PicasaвЂ™s tools. For example, to upload to Google Photos you would use Google Photos to Email pictures you would use your email program. You will need to perform those tasks with other methods. I expect that they will develop problems over time because the Web side of the equation will change, and Google will not fix those problems on this retired software. There are parts of the program that interact with the web:ДЄs long as these features are working for you, you can use them. It will continue to do that job even after it is вЂњretiredвЂќ, so you can continue to use it.

#PICASA WEB SOFTWARE#

PIcasa3 is software that is meant to do a job with pictures on your computer hard drive. I use Photo Story 3 even though it is a software product that has not been officially supported since Windows XP! It still does what I want it to do, so why not? I would not continue to use the operating system of Windows XP because that is a security and computer performance issue, nor do I advise using the outdated navigation system of Streets and Trips because updates are important when roads change. Using Outdated software? Most of us have outdated software that we still use. If you have a good Internet connection, you may find that you enjoy working with them on the web and you can stop keeping copies on your computer (except for archival purposes.) When that day comes for you, Google Photos can replace Picasa, but not before.

The pictures must be uploaded to the Web () before you can do anything with them using Google Photos. Google Photos is not an option for working with pictures on your hard drive. Google Photos replacing Picasa3? No вЂ“ Google Photos will not, nay, CAN NOT replace Picasa3 Desktop software. Further information is available on the Picasa Resources pageВ maintained by the Google Picasa Forum Top Contributors.

After that, you can download the Picasa installation files from, or, here is our Picasa Download for Geeks on Tour Members. Picasa3 is software that used toВ be freely downloaded from the web page.

If you get a new computer, you will need the Picasa software setup file. Your pictures will still be right where you put them, on your hard drive. Keep using it! Long Live Picasa! Although this product will not receive further updates, either bug fixes or enhancements, it is software that you download to your computerвЂ™s hard drive.

How the announcement affects you вЂ“ short answer: If you use either the desktop software, or the website, this announcement affects you.

Getting an image from the Picasa web album repository

Configure the Picasa web album repository by entering the client ID and secret.

Activate the Picasa web album repository by selecting 'Enable and visible' in the dropdown menu.

The client ID and secret can then be used to configure all Google Drive and Picasa plugins. Note: In order to use either the Picasa web album or Google Drive repositories (also the Google Drive or Picasa portfolios) an administrator must register their Moodle site with Google, as described in Google OAuth 2.0 setup, and obtain a client ID and secret. The Picasa web album repository enables users to copy files from Picasa into Moodle, similar to the Google Drive repository.
