“Picasa 3: The Beginner's Guide (Mrs. Geek's Guides Book 1)” is an easy to understand book on Picasa. It is about $10 on Amazon and worth more. She also has one on Google Photos which is very good. All the edits you do in Picasa are saved in an .ini file with the photo. In order to save and move the edited file, you need to export it to the new place. They suggest that you export the altered photo to a desktop file and then to its new home. I export whole albums (which contain altered photos) to wherever I am making a new library, like a backup drive etc.
To email your photos from Picasa, export those to your desktop and from there to Google Photos or Dropbox or whatever you would have used before. File sizes will be large, importing into Google Photos is an easy way to then email or share.
Have you tried PS Express for aligning the parallel lines? The free version in my iPad works well.
My blue screen was diagnosed by a tech as caused by the video driver being the wrong version. I had run Microsoft’s version of a scan for that and it said no problem. The tech used another scanner which suggested the problem. He replaced the driver and it was an instant fix for a months-long-problem.
In Picasa select the photos you want, or the whole folder, and export them to the desktop. Open Google Photos and import that folder into an album on Google Photos. It is slick.
Thank you! Wonderful photographs and words. I plan to save this. Looking forward to futures.

Keep in mind that you must do something to backup the .ini files or you will lose your edits from Picasa. We learned this the hard way by failing to have Carbonite back up the .ini file. The albums are the modified photo, not the unedited photo. Exporting photos also saves the modified photos. Full info is available from the Picasa Geeks. They have a downloadable book on Picasa and one on Google Photos. Google Picasa Geeks or Geeks on Tour.
Thank you for showing the gear!
Thank you for your service! We appreciate what we cannot know or understand. You are heros.
