Picasa DNG and JPG

I save my DNG files and edited files in the same folder using Lightroom. When I upload to Picasa on the web so I can share my photos I would like to easily select only the JPG files. What do I do?

When you're using Lightroom as your main system, you really should use its Export... functions. The reason being that any changes you or camera raw have made to a photo are not saved in the picture file, but in a file called a sidecar or in a separate database. If you upload your JPGs directly to Picasa they will be the original photo with no edits or raw fixes.

The Lightroom Export functions (in the File menu) only take a little while to learn and you can set up defaults which make it fairly automatic. There are also a boatload of plugins available which make it even easier.

There are some tutorials on Adobe, Lynda, and YouTube, but it is almost as easy to use the onboard help and just play with the export for a while.
