I also keep copies of my pictures on-line in Flickr – you can have up to 1 terabyte free. Backing Up Your PicturesĮxternal drives, SD Cards, DVDs all offer fairly easy ways of making back-ups – depending on how many pictures you have.

If you are reasonably technically savvy this blog post tells you what files to save to keep your albums so you can get them back when you re install Picasa.

There’s a Google Support page to tell you how to uninstall and re install Picasa. The install program is no longer available. Unless you have kept a copy of the install program do not uninstall Picasa. Picasa took between 1-2 hours to index my 33,000+ images. Unfortunately you may need to reconfirm those faces it has trouble recognizing.

Then all you have to do is sit back and wait… and wait… while it finds all your pictures, repopulates your Photo albums, and also (if you have Face recognition turned on) goes through and finds all the faces again. Only do this if you are absolutely sure you want to delete your Picasa Database. Some Photo Organizers just remove the image from the organizer’s database, leaving the original alone just in case it is needed.

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. 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.
