Introduction to Picasa:

  What is Picasa?

  What do you need to know to
  use it?

  What resources do you need to
  run it?
 Picasa© is a program developed by
  Google© to provide a platform for digital
  photography
 It has many features including:
    › Storage
    › Organization
    › Editing
    › Crafting
    › Presenting
                                      3
 While a digital photography novice can
  use Picasa, the more knowledge about
  photography and editing a user has, the
  more features will be accessible to them
 A user should know basic computer
  functions like opening programs,
  copying and pasting, and intuitively
  using the right mouse button to quickly
  access menu items
                                      4
   Picasa requires several resources:
    › Computer (OS less than 10 years old)
        This tutorial is built around a Windows 7 environment.
         Your experience may vary based on your unique
         operating system
    › Digital Photographs (Photos)
    › Internet Access
        Only necessary for downloading the program and
         taking advantage of some intermediate and advanced
         options/features
    › Most current version of Adobe Flash (11.6.xx….)
        Only for certain advanced features
   Available for Download: picasa.google.com
                                                        5

Who would use Picasa?

  A Person

  A Librarian

  A Library
   An individual would use Picasa rather
    than another program because:
    › Relatively easy to use while still providing
      advanced features
    › Free Download
    › Syncs with social media
    › Organizes photos




                                                 7
 Many of the same reasons as a private
  individual
 Additionally:
    › Archive events and programs
    › Create presentable materials
       Generate interest and visibility for future
        programs
    › Provides outreach through today’s growing
     social media environment

                                               8
 Many of the same reasons as a librarian
  or library administrator
 Additionally:
    › Archiving and cataloging photographic
     collections
      Turns photographic collections into searchable
       entities through:
          Metadata
          Subject Heading Tagging
          Facial Recognition Tagging
          GeoTagging

                                               9

How to use Picasa: A Practical Example

  How would a person go from taking photos
  from a camera to a finished edited product
  capable of web publishing and printing?
11




How to use Picasa: A Practical Example

  1.   Add/Organize
  2.   Metadata
  3.   Edits and Effects
  4.   Projects
  5.   Share and Manage
   Photos can be added from many
    locations
    › Camera
    › Memory Stick
    › Scanner
    › Already on computer in different folder
   Files can be imported the same way for
    any device

                                                12
   Import using the Import Button which is
    always located near the upper left
    corner of the screen:




                                         13
   This will open a panel on the left with
    many options that looks like this:




                                              14
This
             option
             ensures
Use this     that if a
to select    picture is
the          already
source of    on your
your         computer

from the     on
E: Drive     pictures
             that will
             be
             excluded
            15
The
“Import To:”
Box is how
you select
the
destination
of the           The “After
pictures. If     Copying”
you leave        box
the “Folder      explains
Title:”          what to
empty it will    do with
default to       the
the “Import      memory

Use the          the
“Folder          photos
Title:” to       are
create a         moved
new folder

                16
When you are finished select the import all
 button to complete the import process.




                                              17
 Sometimes photos on the memory card
  are from multiple events and should be
  stored separately.
 Picasa allows you to distribute your
  photos to multiple albums
 To do so select a photo or group of
  photos using standard Windows multi-
  select rules

                                     18
   Right click any of the selection and
    choose “Add to Album” as below:




 You can add to an existing album (like
  “Screensaver” above)
 You can add to a New Album and
  name it in the same window
                                           19

How to use Picasa: A Practical Example

  1.   Add/Organize
  2.   Metadata
  3.   Edits and Effects
  4.   Projects
  5.   Share and Manage
   There are 3 main types of Metadata you
    can edit:
    › People Tagging
    › Geo Tagging
    › Subject Heading Tagging
   You can also display the fixed Metadata
    for a particular picture such as the
    camera name/type and settings used
    like ISO for each individual photo
                                       21
   There is a button for each Metadata
    Type


People       Geo       Subject     Fixed
             Tagging   Headings




                                          22
   Google uses its facial recognition
    software to scan every picture uploaded
• Here you can see that it
  recognized me from
  other pictures on my
  computer                          Typing in
                                    the name
                                    of a person
                                    will yield a
• There is an option to             list of known
  manually add a person             people to
  that is not automatically         select from
  recognized

                                        23
 Select the places button,
  then type the address in the
  box
 Uses Google Maps to
  provide locations like:
    ›   Cities
    ›   Addresses
    ›   Venues
    ›   Any location in Google’s
        Databases
   Select “OK” when complete
                                   24
 Add labels to a picture for easy
  searching later
 Used like LC Subject Headings except
  with an uncontrolled vocabulary




                                     25
Add new Tags by typing
                          a name in this box then
                          hitting enter



Or select pre-existing
tags by clicking any of
these buttons



                                              26
   In the Tools menu you can use the
    “Adjust Time and Date Settings” to alter
    the temporal metadata related to when
    the picture was taken, not uploaded




                                        27

How to use Picasa: A Practical Example

  1.   Add/Organize
  2.   Metadata
  3.   Edits and Effects
  4.   Projects
  5.   Share and Manage
 Now that we have imported the pictures
  and assigned the appropriate Metadata,
  it is time to edit any photographs
  necessary
 There are various tools for:
    › Beginners
    › Intermediates
    › Filters for Any User Level
   No advanced photo editing tools like
    Photoshop
                                       29
   To edit any photo, simply double click it
    in the default album display




                                          30
There are many
general options
Like:
Cropping:
Trimming edges
off a picture
Straighten:
Align the horizon
within the picture
with the borders
around it
Redeye:
Automatically
remove redeye
from people
within a picture


                     31
There are also some
prebuilt automatic
editing buttons
Auto Color:
Fixes color problems
without affecting
brightness
Auto Contrast:
Fixes lighting
problems without
affecting colors
I’m Feeling Lucky:
Completes both
other auto functions
to optimize the
balance of a
picture’s colors and
lighting
                       32
Finally you can
perform some more
complex editing
Text:
Allows you to add
text to a photo
Retouch:
Allows you to spot
correct blemishes by
selecting an area of
the picture to edit,
then another area to
blend it with




                       33
 Intermediate usage
  has some extra
  features that allow
  you to individually
  alter lighting, color,
  shadows and fills
  using slide bars
 Select the lighting
  tab to access these
  features
                           34
 Many Filters are
  available similar to
  Instagram©
 Google will apply the
  filter as a preview in
  each box so a user
  doesn’t need to
  apply it to see its
  affect
 There are three tabs
  of Filters               35
   Although Picasa will not save over your
    original picture, even if you edit it, you
    should save your picture using the “Save
    As” option
    › Enables you to select a location
    › Enables you to select a custom name for this
      edited version

How to use Picasa: A Practical Example

  1.   Add/Organize
  2.   Metadata
  3.   Edits and Effects
  4.   Projects
  5.   Share and Manage
 Picasa has several options for creating
  arts and crafts effects with a picture, or
  groups of pictures
 This allows for creative editing and fun
 Using these tools a user can create a
  finished product for personal or
  professional use




                                         38
   Creative Kit A pop-up Dialogue Box will
                  is
    selectable from thethat Creative Kit
                 inform you
    main editing web based and ask that
                 is side
    bar          you confirm before
                  proceeding

   It requires the most
    recent version of
    Adobe Flash© to
    use

   Allows for clip art to
    be added to, and
    manipulated in, a
    photo
                                              39
 A new bar will open to
  the left of the photo
  with new options
 There are different and
  more severe filters that
  change the whole
  photo
 There are also some
  TouchUp tools that allow
  spot editing
                             40
 There are also some silly
  tools that allow free
  drawing with different
  specialized tool brushes
 Some can be drawn in
  with the cursor like
  “Fake Beard”
 Some can be dropped
  onto the photo and
  manipulated like
  “Beards”
                              41
A Purrfect Example:

 There are also some silly
  tools that allow free
  drawing with different
  specialized tool brushes
 Some can be drawn in
  with the cursor like
  “Fake Beard”
 Some can be dropped
  onto the photo and
  manipulated like
  “Beards”
                                     42
 Creative Kit offers
  graphics that are not
  traditional, more like fun
  stickers
 Speech Bubbles and
  Face Paint can also
  liven up a picture




                               43
 Picasa offers several options for making a
  collage.
 Picasa makes a collage by randomly
  assigning pictures from a group a user
  selects into one of several premade
  patterns
 A user should then balance the pictures
  by selecting and moving them within the
  pattern

                                       44
 To create a collage select “Create” from
  the menu, then select “Picture Collage”
 This will open a new tab with a collage
  editing bar on the left




                                     45
 Now you will need to
  select the type of
  pattern your collage
  should take
 Selecting between
  them will show you the
  results in real time to
  see how they compare
  visually
 Lets see how the
  Picture Pile looks
                            46
   As you can see it left a lot of whitespace
    around the edges, and also cut the
    heads off of some people!




                                          47
 From here you will need to edit the collage.
 You can select any photograph and move
  and rotate it.
 You can right click the photograph and
  change its depth so it is on top or on the
  bottom




                                         48
   You can also shuffle or scramble the
    pictures in the collage by using the
    button on the bottom




                                           49
   The collage toolbar
    allows you to set the:
    › Border type
    › Background color or
        image
    ›   Aspect Ratio
    ›   Orientation
    ›   Add Shadows
    ›   Show previously added
        captions
   When you are done
    select “Create Collage”
                                50

How to use Picasa: A Practical Example

  1.   Add/Organize
  2.   Metadata
  3.   Edits and Effects
  4.   Projects
  5.   Share and Manage
 Picasa has many methods of sharing
  your photos or projects and managing
  the security involved in the displaying of
  the final product
 The basic tool of emailing and printing
  are available through buttons always
  located on the bottom of the screen




                                        52
   Export will take a custom subset of
    photos in an album you created,
    containing photos from various folders
    on your computer, and adds a copy of
    each to a single folder on your computer




                                       53
   In the File menu
    there is an “Order
    Prints…” menu
    option that will
    automatically
    export your photos,
    albums, or projects
    to a number of
    different online
    photo printing
    companies

                          54
 Google used to maintain
  Picasaweb.Google.com
 This free photo webhosting service has
  instead been merged into Google+
 Syncing you photos with Google+ allows
  the user to access all of their photos
  across any device or computer by
  logging into their account
 This does not automatically share your
  photos with the world, as opposed to
  Facebook
                                    55
   Sharing a photo on Google+ is a
    separate action from Syncing
    › Syncing your photos (Private, only you can
      see your photos from any computer or
      device you are logged into)
    › Can be shared via Link (Public, anyone with
      link can view it)
    › A PW protected Link (Semi-Private, need link
      and password to access)
    › With specific people or groups of people as
      limited by your “Circles” (Private to only
      specific individuals)
                                             56
 Another method of
  sharing is create a
  slide show
 A user can:
    › order the slides by
      dragging them
    › Change Transition
      Style
    › Add music to the
      movie
    › Coordinate the music
      with the pictures
                             57
   Once the slide show
    is complete a user
    can:
    › Select Create Movie
      and it will create a
      movie file on your
      computer
    › Select YouTube and it
      will use your Google
      Account to directly
      upload the video to
      YouTube

                              58
 Picasa also has a feature to allow your
  photos to be shared on the internet
  using a private webhost by exporting an
  album directly to HTML formatting
 Right click on any album and select
  Export as HTML Page…




                                     59
 Picasa automatically generates as
  many HTML pages as necessary to
  display all the pictures in Album.
 It writes the code in each to navigate
  between the pictures
 It offers a few basic styles for a user to
  select from




                                          60

                                          61
   The output is a folder that just needs to
    get cut or copied onto your webspace




                                          62
   Using all the steps just outlined I was able
    to create a webpage of organized and
    edited pictures as well as a collage

  • 55.  Google used to maintain Picasaweb.Google.com  This free photo webhosting service has instead been merged into Google+  Syncing you photos with Google+ allows the user to access all of their photos across any device or computer by logging into their account  This does not automatically share your photos with the world, as opposed to Facebook 55
  • 56. Sharing a photo on Google+ is a separate action from Syncing › Syncing your photos (Private, only you can see your photos from any computer or device you are logged into) › Can be shared via Link (Public, anyone with link can view it) › A PW protected Link (Semi-Private, need link and password to access) › With specific people or groups of people as limited by your “Circles” (Private to only specific individuals) 56
  • 57.  Another method of sharing is create a slide show  A user can: › order the slides by dragging them › Change Transition Style › Add music to the movie › Coordinate the music with the pictures 57
