Everything would be saved exactly as it appears on the local hard drive. I agree that the use of labels would be terrific. But, I and I assume most others primarily store photos on my computer in folders labeled by the date that the photos were taken. I also add a brief description of what the folder contains. So this is not a big deal for me. But the fact that I no longer have to worry about running out of albums on PWA is a massive step in the right direction.
Of course, PWA can just get rid of album limits altogether which I have assume they will do down the road. Some things I think we all want with PWA are: labels, sub-folders, and the ability to send a link to a particular photo instead of an entire album. But even without these features, I fail see how Flickr is a better service other than having a larger community.
All in all, a good day for PWA users. I think the idea of labels is already there, they support Tags. I already use tags for doing what you are suggesting, and the other items like date is already embedded in the picture or can be.
For this reason, I LOVE the way that Picassa keeps a between the local file folder and the web album, it keeps their sync braindead easy and simple to backup. Thanks for posting this. I'm glad they added albums, but I don't think that is the right solution either. It would make the user experience consistent. Labels also seem more practical for organization. Properly implemented, labels could really free me from my file system organizational headaches.
I would like to add my vote for setting up labels to emulate gmail. Additionally, a method for grouping sets of online albums into a folder subdirectory? Here are the simple steps to do just that! If you have Gmail, you can use that login and password to access the site.
If not, click Create One and follow the steps to get a login and password. Once completed, you will enter your main page, also known as the gallery. It is here where your photo albums are stored. Step 2: Start by creating an album… Click the Upload button to create an album and add photos to it.
Once logged in, click Upload to upload the first image. The short description will help search engines properly index the album. Provide details about the album by adding a Title and Description. Click Save Changes when finished.
Step 5: Select photos to upload… Now we can start uploading photos to the album. Go ahead and click Browse. Step 6: Find the photos… We are hoping you have success finding the photos on your computer. That's adequate for a bunch of slide shows but it's not enough to be a serious online photo storage solution.
Oddly, Gmail, which is also free, gives you 2. I was hoping for more innovation and a richer feature set for Picasa's online product. On the other hand, for current Picasa users, I don't know of a simpler or faster way to share photos.
Rafe Needleman. Google's new Picasa Web Albums beta [see news story ] now allows you to post pictures directly from the application to a Google-hosted Web album. It's about time. Picasa has become the PC-based photo manager for many people, and many of them had become frustrated that they needed a separate non-Google service to post photos online.
I was one of those people. View our Picasa Web Albums slide show for pictures of this work in progress.
