!!Picasa does NOT store photos!!
Q: What? Are you sure about that, Onion? When I open Picasa, I can see all my photos!! What's up?!
A: Picasa does not physically store or keep your photos -- they are all located on your hard drive. When you initially install Picasa, it scans your computer's hard drive to find all applicable photo files. It then displays your photos without moving or altering them.
Picasa does not add, move, delete, archive, back up, upload your photos to the Internet, or do anything else with your photos (other than locating them and remembering where they are) unless you specifically tell it to.
Since Picasa does not physically store your photos, if you delete a photo "in" Picasa, you are deleting it from the hard drive. Likewise, if you delete a photo from your hard drive, you will no longer be able to see it in Picasa.
What Picasa actually does with your photos
How Picasa monitors your photos (Tools > Folder Manager)
Picasa Help is just one click away
Although Onion doesn't post as much as in the past (8,488 posts in the old Picasa forum!), Onion still likes to help answer questions as time permits.
