In their own words Picasa Web Albums is the fast and easy way to put your photos online so you can start sharing. Use it with the Picasa software to upload entire albums of high quality photos in a click of the software's "Web Album" button, or use your normal web browser to add pics. Each account gets 1GB (and counting!) of free storage - that's enough to post and share around 4,000 standard resolution photos. Best of all, you and your friends can download your photos at the same high quality to print and enjoy.
You can choose photos in the following way:
- This search text - such as 'penguin' which will search for all public photos on Picasa web albums that have something to do with penguins. You can also decide how many results to choose from so you can fine-tune your penguin obsession.
- A specific person - you enter the person's user name and you can then choose:
- Random - random photos from all their albums will be chosen from.
- Pick and album - you choose an album from the given user name. - A private album URL - if you have a private album you can send out album URLs so people can see that album. You can paste these URLs into JBS and choose photos from them too!
Click the 'Authorise' button on the settings dialog to enter your Google account login credentials so you can choose from your own private Picasa web albums.
