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.
