I also never had to deal with G+ (which they've phased out?), and certainly the Picasa web album interface was "old " it's just that Photos is not exactly an equivalent replacement.It sounds weird since Picasa seems obsolete and a different service, but it looks like Google has joined this service with Photos so you can use it to upload photos there as a new collection. Linking photos still works with it though.įWIW, all of my photos in Picasa web albums (I never used the actual program) were automatically set to private, and were not findable by anyone via the web unless I gave out a link to the album, or linked directly to an image, like embedding it in a TR. It's also weird to get links to the photos for embedding in a TR: the "URL" that it makes isn't a ".jpg" type deal, it's a whole, super long scramble of code. The only issue I see is that the Google Photos interface is very Facebook/smartphone based and obnoxious to use. When I go to that link, there's a Picasa "album archive." But all of those albums were already imported into Google Photos, so they were never lost. (That will only work if the browser you're in is signed into your Google account.) I just noticed my bookmark to my old Picasa album is no longer working, have no idea now how to get to them now…. I stopped using Picasa about 3 years ago when I felt it became too integrated with Google+ social media and Gmail, they didn’t give me a choice and so I felt it best to not have all my digital eggs in one basket, so to speak.

The impression I get from the About page is Smugmug will not sell out and was created by photographers for the users photography, that was the same impression I got 4 years ago.Įdit to add a link to an old thread discussing Smugmug and other options. notice how its labeled "their" photos, ahem…) at any time and so I didn’t want to invest more years of photos. My thought that was any free site is more prone to change or sell out in a different direction (Picasa>Google+>"Google Photos". I cant recall what I found at the time, I know there are other free photo album websites but since Google started that way I decided it was worth paying for a service dedicated to photo albums only. Smugmug is integrated with for basic free photo editing. Nothing automatically goes public or is saved anywhere like Google+. Most of all I have complete control over who can see, view or even find my photos on the web…. It’s a paid photo service but feel the features are worth it and have unlimited storage.
