Above each folder is a set of buttons. Just click the button that looks like a little square floppy disk and it will save all edits in that folder.

So I just spent hours editing all my pictures of alaska (located on an external harddrive) so I could put them online. BUT of course, when I go to put them online, the UNedited version is uploaded. There is a reason I went through and edited each photo. How can I get the edited versions online? More importantly, how can I save the entire edited folder to overwrite the unedited one? Could anyone help me out?

I’m new to Picasa 3. When I turn on Picasa 3. It immediately starts screening all the photos on my PC. I then name all the un-namedfaces it brings up which goes into that particular folder name. After all the work I close all my applications. When I turn on my computer, it starts the whole screening process all over again, and all the named photos is now called un-named. What am I doing wrong?

If possible, please send response to my email, as I dont always have access to the internet.

[...] that this is using the picture files on disk, they won’t include your Picasa edits unless you saved those edits to disk. They also won’t be in your custom order, they will be in the order that they are on your [...]

To my knowledge, there is no way to save all edits for the entire library.
But, if you move your folders using Picasa, there is no need to save edits -
all edit info will be transfered to the new location. Actually, even if you
just copy folders, the edit info will be maintained because it is stored in
the picasa.ini file. As long as you’re still using Picasa to view your pictures – you’re OK. If not, then yes – you’ll need to save edits one folder at a time. Note that Picasa is not a multiuser program – it won’t allow multiple users to work with the same set of pictures on your NAS.

Hi there,

I am trying to move my photos onto a NAS, but I have heaps of folders in Picasa 3 with lots of edits that are yet to be saved. I want to Save to Disk, but I can only do that for one folder at a time, and I have hundreds of folders that need this. Is there a way to Save Changes to Disk en masse for all folders in Picasa 3?

Thanks
Tim

Is there a way to save changes to ALL photos edited in ALL folders. Since I discovered Picasa years AFTER I began taking digital photos (I used to use Canon Zoom Browser that came with the camera), I often go back and edit older photos here and there as I find the time. Then I may forget to save the cropped, enhanced, and red-eye-fixed photo before I leave the folder. If not in Picasa itself, is there a seperate program or plug-in to accomplish this?

[...] Using Export instead of Save When you edit a picture, Picasa doesn’t change the actual picture. Picasa remembers all your edits and displays the picture to you accordingly, but if you look at the picture outside of Picasa you won’t see any of the edits. To make a picture outside of Picasa that looks like the edited version, many people us the Export command. This creates an entirely new picture … now they have two! If they had used the Save command instead, it would have applied the edits to the one existing photo. See Article: To Save or Not to Save Also: Different Ways to Save [...]

Sometimes my albums will display the number of files edited, e.g., “2 file(s) edited”, which usually disappears once I click on “save to disk”. However, every now and then, I see a message like “2 file(s) edited”, but when I click on “save to disk”, nothing happens.

What’s more, when I edit say 3 more files, the message becomes “5 file(s) edited”, but when I click on “save to disk”, the progress bar only shows 3 files being saved, and when the save is done, the “2 file(s) edited” message still remains.

Any ideas? Thanks.

oops – it doesn’t say, ‘Save All Edits’ … What I’m referring to is the button in the upper right above each folder – “Save to Disk” ## files edited. When you click the button it will Save all the edits that have been made to photos in the whole folder.
When you save to disk, it does overwrite the file on disk, BUT it saves the original in a hidden folder. Watching the video explains it best.
