I'm still playing around with Picasa to see how I like best to display, edit, etc. I think, at least for now, I've made a few more decisions. I had started uploading photos onto my computer at the default resolution, which is okay. However, I think that since I'm spending the time and computer memory I might as well do better and use a higher resolution in scanning them in - which takes longer and more memory, but the result is a better picture and it looks a little better on screen and much better in print. I thought about uploading into the web album at a higher resolution, but decided it was not worth the extra time/space - mainly the former. If one does download . . . the results are less than great. Like if MV downloads a photo from the album of Kate and Ginny from the album the picture would look pretty grainy (I guess is the word).
I guess my feeling is that the CDs are easy enough to produce and mail around and individual pictures to email . . . ? Anyone have any comments. I could upload into Picasa at a higher resolution, if people really think they would be downloading/printing from there. (Which I don't think will happen much.)
I don't know if posting here with a low resolution and a high resolution, one could tell or not. Plus Blogger has a limit of how big a picture one can post . . . may experiment later. I really noticed the difference when I went to send a photo to Catherine that had been uploaded to Picasa, then uploaded to the web album and then I emailed it to myself to see what it would look like. Not good.

Serena, I think you are correct in your assumptions. We appreciate your posting and organizing abilities! Good to spend more time with you the last few days!
Can't find the comment I just posted about posting as
Serena so I'll repeat that the second comment is from me -- Catherine!
This is Roberta checking to see if I am allowed to post.
Just catching up after the week of traveling, etc. I like to see the photos but as far as for my preference, I'd rather have them on CD. I don't mind to (and have the capacity, obviously) to burn copies and print on them what is on the CD. If I'm the only one, Serena can either burn a CD or I can download pictures from picasa to a CD. I am slowly working through old pictures to weed out the ones to keep and those I plan to scan and store on CD for backup anyway.
