Picasa: Slide-show: How to use photos from different Picasa albums in a slideshow

In Picasa (which you get to by clicking the Photos link in your gmail account),
  • click New Album (near the top on the right)
  • Fill out the form that appears (Enter a title for your new album, you can enter a description if you want. Since you are going to use this album for a public slide-show, you will choose Public.)
  • Click Create.
  • Now you have an empty album. You can click the link to upload photos from your computer, or you can get photos from other albums you already have online. Here's how:
  • Click My Photos to go back and view all your albums.
  • Scroll to an album that has pictures you want and double-click to open it
  • Click the button at the top of the album labeled "Organize"
  • Click on the thumbnail of the picture you want and then click copy (on top of the box with photos in it)
  • It will say Copying items to album:

    Enter details for a new album below or choose an existing album .


  • Click choose an existing album .
  • Select the new album you created to use for the slide-show.
  • Click Select Album.
  • It will copy it into your album.
  • (Rinse and repeat)
Good Job! Once you have all the pictures you want in your new album, you can create a slide-show. If you can't remember how to do this, click the link below for instructions:
