Picasa is a free, simple to use photo editing program that goes beyond simple
editing.
Thie SIG provides presentations and a discussion group for those who have experience using
Picasa.
The Picasa SIG is a supplement to Picasa classes that may be offered. This SIG
provides more opportunity for sharing
of experiences than the more typically structured classroom setting. Members will
share and contribute their discoveries
in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
At each meeting there will be a short, detailed presentation on a specific Picasa
feature followed by an open
question and answer period.
Anyone who has questions and/or answers is welcome to attend the Picasa SIG
meetings.

November Tip - Using the Export Button - Why and
How
|
A convenience in Picasa is that you do not need to save changes to your photos IF you are
using Picasa to share
them through printing, emailing, uploading, making a CD or viewing. All changes are
automatically included.
To use your photos in another program, say PowerPoint, or in Excel or Word, or upload it to
another website or
blog, the Picasa editing changes can be saved and the photo made smaller with the Export
button.
1. Select the photo or photos you want to use.
2. Click the Export button at the bottom
3. Choose or create the receiving folder -or Picasa will show you the default folder at
the top of the Export Window.
4. Choose a size (400 pixels is adequate for most web photos)
5. Click OK
Now when you use the website software to upload your photos, upload the ones in the
chosen folder in step 3 instead of the original folder.
