Picasa also offers a viewer to browse through public albums, but the interface is not good it doesn’t work on tablets and phones, it’s very cluttered, and it doesn’t emphasize the actual photos. Every album can be set to either private or public, with the latter being available to the internet at large.
Once uploaded, the images can be edited, sorted, and transferred between albums. It facilitates the technical part of a system (i.e., uses hard drives to store files, serves files to clients when they are requested, etc).Īfter creating a Google account, users can log into Picasa Web Albums, create albums, and upload images. The “ cloud” is the idea of a centralized system that is accessible from anywhere with internet on a multitude of devices. Picasa is a cloud-based image storage service. Picasa offers all of the functionality to maintain photo albums, but it lacks a good user interface to view them.įor my 2013-2014 4-H computer programming project, I wrote a custom front-end viewer for Picasa using PHP. Users can upload and store images on the Picasa website, sort images into albums, and organize each album into a custom order. Google offers a service called Picasa Web Albums which is essentially a digital version of the physical photo album. There are a lot of alternatives to physical albums, with the most prominent being digital albums. What if I wanted to view the pictures when I wasn’t home? What if the albums were stolen? What if the house caught fire and the albums were destroyed? This system worked great for them and their parents, but I immediately saw flaws. Since I was young, I can remember the process of my parents taking lots of pictures, developing the film, and organizing them into a multitude of albums and scrapbooks to save for memories. Most of the photos I have and remember are stored in physical picture albums around my house. My earliest memories involve taking and cherishing family photos.
