Blue Skies with Graduated Tint
I’ve covered this feature before … but I don’t think I used a very good example in that article, so I’m going to revisit it. We’ve recently traveled through Montana … you know the tagline right? Big Sky Country. We had beautiful weather with clear blue skies, but my pictures did not do the sky [...]
Picasa Releases Version 3.8

How to Make a New Folder
by Chris Guld, www.geeksontour.com I recently received an email from a Geeks on Tour Member asking: “How do I make a new folder in Picasa?" You tell me how to rename them, how to move pictures to a folder, but I have over 357 pictures in one folder and I can’t seem to make several [...]

Burning Pictures to Disc
A friend of mine, had her house severely damaged in the recent floods in Tennessee. The house has now been cleaned and gutted and they will spend many months putting it back together.

DVD of Pictures that Plays on your TV
Picasa makes it nice and easy to burn pictures to a DVD with it’s Gift CD feature, but that DVD will only play its slideshow in a computer, not in a TV or standalone DVD player. That’s because Picasa is creating a data DVD, not a video DVD. DVD Maker is Free If you want [...]
Albums vs. Tags
Albums and Tags are both methods of identifying and grouping your photos. Any given picture can be marked to appear in many Albums. And, any given picture can have many tags (aka keywords.)
