Hi Val,

I just tried it by clicking on export and it then put it in a folder in my pictures called Picasa exports and the image is shown.

Hi again Val,

I just tried attaching one from the export file to an email and when I first clicked on the folder it said no images but then when I opened it the photo was there.

Val,

when you are in picasa, in the library, if you click on the picture you want to move, it will show in the library with a blue box around it,

if you then goto File>> save a copy>> then you will have two pics of that pic in whichever folder you have it in...

Once you have the copy you can click and drag that to your desktop, (in the left hand panel) it is easy when you get the hang of it

but is like everything, is getting the hang of it.....

thanks again Christine will have another look
Julie that makes sense too will try that , I do feel dumb sometimes.

[Darksecretz]

Not dumb, you just like to know things..... nothing wrong with an enquiring mind..... or a forgetful one!!! (me)

[Guest]

well I cannot work out how to drag it into my desktop HELP

val

if you have made a copy of the pic, click on the pic and hold the mouse on it and you can drag it across to the desktop in the left hand panel, just drag it across and when the desktop name is high-lighted, then let go of the mouse, it will drop it onto desktop

have to go bed now, am shattered

[Guest]

thanks Julie will try again goodnight

Hi Val,

I think that you can also right click on the copy you have made and then click on send to, you should then have the option of sending to desktop.

I've just done that but not sure if I've explained it correctly.
