You can still change this later, when you use Picasa. I like this better than the Windows viewer, so I choose the first option.

If you do not want to, you need not install it, select the second radio button (2) and click the “Finish” button.

If you want to use it as default viewer select the upper radio button (1) and click the “Finish” button. You can set the Picasa Photo Viewer as the default photo viewer for all types of files supported by Picasa picture viewer (. The photo viewer is a small program that allow us to quickly view photos on your computer desktop or in Windows Explorer. Then appears, and this is new in Picasa 3, a configuration window of the new Picasa photo viewer. My suggestion is that you choose the option to scan “Only My Documents, My Pictures …”, this is a lot faster.Ĭlick the “Continue” button when you have made a choice. The most obvious option is the option that scans only the folders “My Documents”, “My Pictures” and the desktop.ĭo not panic, we can change this at any time when we are working in Picasa. If you choose to do so, it can take a while. When you choose the option to scan all folders, Picasa will scan all the folders on your computer for your photos. You must know that Picasa will manage all your photos in a kind of library, the first thing is to let it know where it can find the photographs, or rather what folders on your computer Picasa should scan to retrieve these pictures.

When we first open Picasa, Picasa will want to know where the photos that you want to include in the library of Picasa, are located.

If you have not already done so, this is the address where you can download it from. I suppose anyone can follow the course on Picasa if the program is already downloaded from the Google site. What ‘edit’ means is, you obviously do not expect that it could be like a Photoshop, but for most of us it is quite sufficient and it saves you several dollars in your wallet. Picasa is a free program from Google that helps you see the pictures on your computer and you can organize, search, edit, and share them with other people.
