Blog This

Click the “BlogThis!” in the Photo Tray and Picasa lets you create up to four photos at a time to send Blogger.

In Picasa, select the photo (s) you want to add to your blog. Hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard pressed and keep clicking to select multiple photos.

Click on the “BlogThis!”.

Enter the username and password of your Google account.

Click on ‘Register’.

If you’ve never used Blogger, you are asked if you want to create a blog.

Select the blog, where you want to publish your photos, from the drop down menu.

Select a photo layout and image size.

Click ‘Continue’.

A Blogger editor page will open with your photos on an HTML page.

Click “Publish” to complete the upload.

Collage

When you make a collage, you have complete artistic control over the content and format of the collage.

Experiment with six different collage types in practical screen collages.

To create a collage, first select the photos you want to include in the collage.

Click the “Collage” in the Photo Tray.

Use the “Settings” and “Clips” tabs of the collagen window to manage the appearance and content of your collage.

In the “Settings” tab, we have a few options that seem clear to me.

In the “Clips” tab, we have the ability to add photos to the collage.

The buttons at the top of the collagen window also seem clear to me.

“Select All” will select all the photos in the collage.

“Select none” will, yes yes, you got it right, select nothing.

The “Delete” button, removes the selected photo (s) in the collagen.

The “Set as background” button sets the selected picture as a background in the collage.

The buttons at the bottom of the collage do not seem hard to me.

The “Collage shake” will change the place of all the photos in the collage.

The “Image exchange” will change the photos in the collage.

And the “View and edit” button will open the selected photo in edit mode.

Click the “Collage” when you’re done.

When Picasa is ready to do this, click the “Play” button to view it in full screen size. To get back, click the Esc key on your keyboard or click the “Close” button in the menu bar at the bottom of the collage.

The newly created collagen, like your movie appears in the Picasa folder list.

Geocoding

Picasa 3 allows you to link your photos to a specific location in Google Earth.

OK, but what does this mean?  This means that Google Earth location information (which you determine) will record in the file and the picture is displayed on a satellite map in Google Earth.

The first applies only to the picture located on your computer, and the second will only be seen when you, or rather someone on your computer, using Google Earth.

This function can only be used when you have Google Earth installed on your computer.

To use this feature, first select the photos in Picasa.

Then click the “Geotag” in the Photo Tray.

Google Earth opens and a small Picasa window appears in the lower right corner.

Navigate and zoom in on the location in Google Earth that corresponds with where your picture was taken, and place the yellow cross mark on the chosen spot.

Click on “Geocoding” for the selected photo.

You can also click “Geotag All” geotag all the selected pictures with the same code and location information.

If all pictures are geotagged, click “Done” to finish.

When you exit Google Earth, click on “Yes” to store the geotagged locations folder in “My Places”.

If you then open Google Earth, you get access to the pictures in “My Places”.

YouTube

And finally I have a word about video content on You Tube.

The first requirement is that you have a YouTube account.

If you do not have it, go get it first.

Once you did this, you are notified to give a title for your film, a description, choose a video category, and give the number of labels.

All these subjects are Required to be filled.

Select the check box “Add this video to disclose” when you want everyone to enjoy your movie.

Click the button “Upload Video” when you’re done.

Once this film is uploaded, it is listed in the download window.

Click this and you and the rest of the world can watch this video on You Tube.
