Some Photo Organizers just remove the image from the organizer’s database, leaving the original alone just in case it is needed.
OLD PICASA PHOTOS SOFTWARE
I’m not quite so worried about the people recognition, but it would be nice to keep that too.įirstly my reading reminded me that Picasa unlike a lot of other Photo Organizing software actually deletes a picture or a folder if you ask it to do so. So I spent a couple of hours reading endless forums trying to find a solution that wouldn’t lose my albums. In either case you’d need to start again from scratch. This is fine if you haven’t been using Picasa’s virtual albums, or making use of Picasa’s rather uncanny face recognition software.
OLD PICASA PHOTOS INSTALL
Even more so when I started looking online and discovered this is fairly common, and the advice from Google is to uninstall Picasa and then re install it. I recommend Picasa to my customers, so I was rather concerned that pictures appeared to be going missing.
Have a look around your hard drive – typically in a windows machine they’ll be in the ‘My Pictures’ folder unless you’ve elected to keep them somewhere else. The good news is that your pictures are probably all okay. Now if you want to try and fix your copy of Picasa – read on… Check Your Hard Drive Since switching to Lightroom I’ve had very little use for Photoshop, except for producing original artwork. I can produce a jpg whenever I want to any size I want. I shoot Raw and Lightroom handles Raw Files, so I no longer keep jpgs. With Lightroom I import the images from the camera into a dated folder (Year\month) in Dropbox, and Export them to Flickr once I’ve processed the images. I love it and it handles my 25,000+ personal images with ease, and also some 10,000+ images I hold for a customer for whom I produce a print magazine. Unfortunately it has a fairly steep learning curve. It also includes a very comprehensive, non-destructive picture editor. It allows you to tag, geotag, name people, add titles, descriptions, rate images and organize them into endless virtual albums, and export the pictures in lost of formats. $9 per month (last checked October 2016), this has an in-built upload to Flickr. I still use Flickr as one of my photograph backup sites (Dropbox is the other) but, see option 3. I say ‘I think’ because I haven’t tried the new uploader. And I think the new Flickr uploader works a bit like Dropbox, so you can create a basic folder structure on your computer to upload to Flickr. Flickr online offers all the search, tagging and organizing into albums that Picasa does. You could keep using Picasa until it stops working … Not ideal but it will work for a while.You can keep using it, but if it goes wrong there’s nothing you can do.
OLD PICASA PHOTOS UPDATE
If you notice your pictures going missing in Picasa, first off, Don’t Panic! Before We Continue – an Update If you use Picasa, the desktop based photograph management and uploading application from Google, you need to be aware that Picasa can lose images and folders from time to time.
