Thanks all, I use Photoshop and so trying to figure out Picasa was more than I wanted to do if I didn’t have to. I’ll be meeting with her tomorrow and will be able to help her understand was is going on with her pictures. I appreciate the help.

Assuming she is using a windows OS and not Mac. On my Windows 8 Surface Pro 2, this is the default location for pictures.

Can you please tell me what the default location is for importing pictures. If Picasa is removed from her computer, will her pictures still be on her computer? Thanks for any help you can give me.

But I DO have an opinion about the best way to provide source info for a photograph; put the source information in the image metadata. Metadata is the data about the data image; the text information that accompanies each image, JPEG or whatever. The metadata allows us to attach everything from our street address to the subject of the photo to the technical info about the photograph … to the source of the photo. I believe any useful information associated with an image has a place somewhere in the metadata. Most modern image processing or image viewing programs allow access to the metadata, yet too few of us use this important feature of digital imaging … myself included. I know I should type the stuff into the appropriate fields but too often I grow bored and move on to more exciting things. Doesn't matter if you follow the approach of Elizabeth Shown Mills or not; just put something in the metadata that will allow someone else to know where you found the image (even if it is from your personal collection of photographs). Bottom line; put sourcing in the metadata no matter what other sourcing you may do !!!
