How to halt Picasa-web-albums from re-directing to Google Album Archive
Bad news: As Google's Album Archive production is turned on unopen to the world, also specifically ane fourth dimension it is turned on for your, inwards that house is no way to to suffer Picasa-web-albums, without beingness sent to Google Album Archive.Your alone option is to suffer to Google Photos directly, or to slice of run alongside pictures alone through Blogger's post-editor.
Is inwards that house a work alongside using Google Album Archive also Google Photos instead of Picasa-web-albums?
There are posts on help-forums etc from people who are unhappy well-nigh this change: Picasa-web-albums also Picasa-desktop had a intermission of features which Google convey exactly decided non to homecoming inwards Google Photos. These features include:- Making slideshows also putting them into blog-posts or websites.
- Embedding Picasa Web albums also photos inwards blog-posts or websites.
- Linking to photos, albums, also Public Galleries which an URL that contains your usename
- Photo tags, tagging people, likes, +1's, also Picasa Web comments.
- Making slideshows.
- Following people based soley on their photograph collection
- Viewing globe galleries.
People who used those features didn't wishing to lose them, also they for sure encounter a work alongside the changes. Personally, I recall that things are a lilliputian to a greater extent than nuanced. There is a lot of special behind what you lot tin send away also cannot do inwards Album Archive - also why certain actions are also aren't available. This isn't ever consistent alongside the documentation - eg the documentation says that we tin send away delete photos inwards Album Archive, exactly I've got at to the lowest marking ane album / photograph alongside no delete icon showing. Other people convey reported that they had albums which aren't showing upwards inwards their Album Archive. Some are unhappy because they cannot do novel albums, alone slice of run alongside ones that they've already made.
But for all that, I haven't nevertheless constitute a sum show-stopper terminal trial that stops me from using the Google tools to slice of run alongside images for my blogs. Have you?
