This service has been multiple entries on this blog, where he explained somo upload, organize and publish images. Now we will see a not insignificant aspect of our Picasa account which is usually forgotten very often: the settings.

To set up a Picasa account, follow these steps:

• Log into your account with your username and password @ .
• find in the menu above right, click on Settings .

• The first tab you see is the General . In it, we can set the name (pseudonym ) and the web address (URL ) in our gallery, the avatar (Image ) of our profile and Language you view your account.

• The URL can only be our username @ de Google or ID ourselves. In general, it is preferable to use the first, which is more personal, unless we want to maintain some anonymity.

• can also choose Translate Automatically comments user @ s otr @ s do to the image and allow or sending photos via email . If you enable the latter option, we introduce a secret word , consisting of a minimum of 6 characters (letters or numbers), which form part of the email address you use to make the shipment. If the secret word out abc123 and our user names on Google @ Random , e-mail that would have to send our photos would azar.abc123 @ picasaweb.com

• The second tab refers to the e-mail notifications Picasa can send us in the case or comment that some users @ we add to your favorites. Likewise we can choose to receive a daily newsletter or none.

• The third tab is for setting options our Privacy and Permissions . Recall that the privacy of the images you choose, individually, for each album we believe.

• addition, we must decide what rights we apply to our images, if not be reused (all rights reserved), or they can be used, under what conditions (according to license Creative Commons ).

• Finally, the Storage tab shows the space occupied by the images we've uploaded to Picasa and what we have available. Remember that Google provides 1Gb \u200b\u200bof free storage for Picasa (which is shared with our accounts and Blogger Buzz ). If you need more, we'll have to buy it. Google offers additional 20Gb more than the reasonable amount of $ 5 per year.
