I just started using Google's Picasa. I know others here at VFTT are also using it. My old picture server is not working too well, although the old pictures still display fine (thank goodness), so I figured I needed to bite the bullet and start using another site. There's a lot I like about Picasa, especially how it automatically syncs with the albums on my PC.
But there's one thing I haven't figured out: Picasa sets 1600 pixels as the maximum width when it uploads my pictures. That's fine and dandy, But I can't find out how to link to a picture with this maximum width. It gives a set of alternatives (144, 288, 400 & 800) but that's it. I figured out I could capture the URL of the picture it uses in the slide show display window (usually 1152 pixels) but I can't get 1600.
The closest I can get is when I hit the zoom button, which causes a full size image to appear in the regular frame and allows you to drag it around to see different parts of the picture which lie outside the frame. But I can't embed that as a JPEG in a report such as I can put on the forum here, or on my own web site.
Anyone know if I can get a URL for the full 1600 width picture?
