how to batch resize photos using export feature in Picasa

Picasa is a versatile photo viewing and editing software made by Google. Through it some formats used by SLR camera could be viewed.

For batch resizing of photos, its export to feature could be used.

Export means simply transfer the folder inside Picasa folder or conncected one to some other location. Usually it is done to resize the whole folder. I found 1200 pixels with normal is good enough.

For export, first thing you need to do is to add the folder to picasa. Adding just connect it, it does not copy the files inside the picasa folder in your computer.Then you could do export.

The other way is import the folder to picasa. In this case, the files are copied inside picasa folder in your computer. This is not suggested as you will have large same files in two location of your computer.Then you could export.

I have selected 800 Pixels with normal. File size comes up as 100 KB whic is good.

When I selected 1200 Pixels and maximum, file size comes up as 457 KB

When I selected 1200 Pixels and normal, file size comes up as 241 KB. I may go for this.

Face detection is a nice feature of picasa. It groups photos under a detected face. So you could easily browse photos of a person in your computer. you may use it if you like but when you do the import,turning it on may delay the copying or adding(i.e. connecting)
