Picasa help. Dannie had a question about using Picasa and getting photos on Humzoo. Mrs. Shoo was so gracious enough to offer my services, please send her all your kids' essays, drawings, love notes to be gramatically critiqued, I felt like it would be easier to put together some screen shots than try to explain over pages of comments.

Some background: Dannie was wanting to know how to upload pictures from Picasa to Humzoo. Unfortunately, there's not a built in function to go directly from Picasa to Humzoo. But the photos that are loaded into Picasa are available at anytime by navigating through your folders on your hard drive.

This is the simplest way I know to get that path. Dannie, I don't know your experience level, but I tried to make this as detailed as possible.

First - Open your image. Hopefully, Picasa has already found your images.



Next, right click on the image. Go down to "Locate on Disk."



This will now open the folder containing the images.



If the address bar is visible, click and copy (click, then hit CTRL+C) the path. In Vista, if you click the path it will display the full formatted path like "c:usersshoopictureswashington park"

If you have XP and the address bar is not visible, go to Tools then select Folder Options, click the View tab, and select "Display full path in the address bar."



Now you should be able to see the full path. Copy the path.



Go to Humzoo, either go to the photo section or create a new blog and use the "Upload New Photo" dialog. After you hit the browse button, in the file address paste (CRTL+V) the address you copied before. This will take you directly to the folder where your files are stored.

Select your file, hit open, then hit the upload button on Humzoo.

Hope this helps.
