I need some help. I have the picasa program on my computer and when I plug my digital camera into the compute
Question by Corona:
I select picasa to load and view and edit my photos. The problem is, when I go to walmart.com, or even to my email to send them to someone, I can't get them to load from picasa, they are only opening up, (un-edited) from "my photos" folder on the computer? I don't understand after I do all this editing, cropping and everything else why I can't load it from picasa. I tried doing a web album from picasa but every time I try to load a picture it says error, will retry again in 2 minutes. Is it possible to have my edited pictures from picasa loaded to email, or to walmart.com because from yahoo email when I click on attach, it only allows me to go to "my photos" folder with the un-edited pictures. I hope I have been clear enough with this question because as I'm reading it I don't know if I am saying what needs to be said. I hope someone can help me, or even tell me what you do when you put photos on your computer from your camera. Thanks.

You are experiencing far too much grief.
Get yourself a nice card reader (under $15) and transfer the images from your memory card to your computer directly. Put them in a folder with a name that will remind you of the subject. You can then make sub folders of specific subject names and put your edited images in the appropriate folder.
Picasa is a digital darkroom program, not an editor. Depending on a program to automatically move your images around, pre-edit can cause a lot of problems as you have seen.
Here is my work-flow:
Put my memory card in a card reader.
Using my file manager, I drag and drop my images to a file folder I made previously, named for the client (in my case).
Then using Adobe Bridge, make a new XMP file and put my copyright notice, business contact information, clients information and key words.
I then append it to all the files EXIF information.
Finally I edit (sort) each of the files into sub file folders (like Nitrocar, jetcar, models, showcars, trophy, etc).
Then I make a backup CD of all of them … this before I do a final edit where I throwout any out of focus, over/under exposures and just plain bad images.
Then I choose the best of them and create a CD for my client.
