When you turn on the feature to Store Name Tags in Photo, you should be able to look at the Info for any picture with a known face in it and see the Name Tag. Too bad Google/Picasa is leaving support to this product in the hands of the users…I wonder if we will ever see another release?Ĭhris Guld: Well, no, I don’t think that is so. If not, you would have to go to every picture and redo the tags. It makes sense to me that if you turn on ‘Store Name Tags in Photo’ that this has to apply to all pictures.

(Tutorial Videos:Backup your Photos to CD)ĭo it! Do it now! Here’s a very short video I made a while back that goes thru the process: You should see a folder called $My Pictures. If not, you can go to My Computer and right click on the DVD drive, then choose Explore. What you want to do is ‘Explore’ or ‘Open Folder to View Files.’ If you see that option, just choose it.
You don’t want to restore, you just want to look and see that the pictures are there, so cancel the restore prompt. When you first put them in the drive, you should be prompted to do a Restore. There’s nothing worse than thinking you have good backups and finding out much later (when you need them) that they didn’t process correctly. When it’s all completed, label the disks with a Sharpie marker then take the disks to another computer to test them.It will spit it out and display a message requesting the second DVD. Put a DVD in the drive and click ‘Burn’.Picasa reports that I’ve selected 4,347 files and I’ll need 18 CDs or 3 DVDs.Check the box next to every folder of pictures in 2009 (that’s easy for me because I store all my pictures in folders by month).Here’s a step-by-step of how you might back up Pictures, using Picasa, for a whole year: I had occasion to look thru some of the older backup discs the other day, and the pictures were in perfect shape. I’ve been backing up photos and other important files this way for over 10 years. Then I put the backup discs on an old spindle and keep them in a cupboard. I make a backup every month, of that month’s photos. I buy the discs in bulk, they come 50 to a spindle. First, let me make sure we understand each other with the term ‘Backup.’ It means having a copy of your photos somewhere separate from your computer. One of the biggest reasons that I recommend Picasa so highly is that it makes backups SO easy. can anyone possibly collect that many pictures without at some point wondering, “What would happen if my computer crashed, or it got stolen, or it fell out of the car, or it burned up in a fire or … “ Just when I figure that *everyone* has the idea and I can rest, I read something like this post in the Picasa Help Group where someone lost 15,000 photos when their computer crashed. I sometimes feel like a broken record, telling people to backup their photos.
