Exporting Pictures from Picasa

One feature of Slideshow is that it seamlessly supports Google's Picasa picture folders, including captions !

This is how to create Slideshows from Picasa folders:

• In a Picasa picture folder, edit your picture originals and captions as you would normally do
• Select all the pictures in a folder that you want to export (note: it's common to forget selecting pictures.)
• Right-click on the folder you want to export and click on "Export as HTML page ..."

• In the "Export as HTML Page" Window, select your preferred size (800x600 is good enough for typical monitors).
• Click on "Browse..." and navigate to the \\hda\pictures network locationm then click on "Next >"

• In the "Select a Web Page Template" window, select "XML Code" and click on "Finish".
