MOTHER-IN-LAWS TUTORIAL TO CREATE A PICASA ALBUM

This is Part 2 in a series of tutorials I made for my mother-in-law. Part One was how to get pictures off your memory card. Part 3 (to come) explains how to burn a CD.

  1. Click on the first picture in a group that you want to be in an album.

  2. Scroll to the last picture in the same group, press the SHIFT key and click again. If you wish to select images from other folder groups you will need to use the CTRL key and click on each additional image.

  3. The pictures you have selected will show in the bottom left of the Picasa window as shown here.

  4. Click the Add To button and select New Album

  5. A box will pop up asking you to add a date, description and location. Fill out the information and click OK.

  6. You now will have an album that shows in the upper left of Picasa that holds only your chosen photos. Click on the name to see the pictures in that album. In this example the new album Snakes and Bugs is highlighted.
