How to Utilize the AddToPicasa Extension
To illustrate, we performed an image search on Google, focusing on anime artwork. The extension’s functionality is demonstrated below when saving a discovered image…
Simply right-click on the desired photo and select the “Add to Picasa Web Albums” option from the context menu.
A new window will appear, allowing you to input an Image Caption and relevant Image Tags. If you haven’t already, you’ll be prompted to sign in to your Google account.
Entering your “Google Username” will trigger a request for access to your Picasa Web Albums. It’s important to note that your password or other personal Google Account information will not be accessed by the extension.
Upon clicking “Grant access”, the window will revert to its previous state, now offering a “Disconnect” option. Complete the caption and tag fields, choose the target Picasa Web Album, and then click “Add the image to your Picasa Web album”.
After initiating the image upload, the window will display a confirmation. You can then close the window and resume your browsing experience.
A quick verification of your Picasa Web Album confirms that the new anime picture has been successfully added. Enjoy the convenience of effortless photo saving!
