Sorting by Album name is one of those features of Picasa Web Albums that have not yet made it to Google Photos. Once you’re seeing the albums, you can scroll thru them, they’re in date order, or you can use the search box to look for them. Just click on the button for Albums to see the same albums that you saw in Picasa Web Albums.Īlthough it may be unfamiliar at first, once you embrace Google Photos, I think you will love the new things you can do with your pictures. If you just visit and log in with the same Google account you used for Picasa Web Albums, you will see all your pictures, but they will be in one big stream by date with the most recent on top. There is nothing you need to do, your pictures can be seen at But know that all your pictures are still there. Those of us who have been using it all these years hate to see it go. Picasa Web Albums has been around since 2006 – that’s 10 years! An eternity in computer time.

If you know where your embedded slideshows are, and you’re willing to put in the time, you might be happy with the Google Photos Animation feature to show those photos, or maybe the Google Photo movie feature. If you have used this feature, it won’t work after August 1. The writing has been on the wall that this feature would disappear someday … that someday is here. On August 1, Your Slideshows will Disappear, What To Do? You had to know about the hidden command in the right sidebar, under “Link to this album” and then “Embed Slideshow.” That would present you with some HTML code that you had to copy and paste into the HTML code on your website or blog. You had to go to Picasa Web Albums on a web browser, not the Picasa software on your computer. If you’re not sure if you’ve ever used the Picasa Web Albums embedded slideshow feature, then you probably haven’t. Today, July 1, 2016, your Picasa Web Albums embedded slideshow will still work, but on August 1 it won’t.
