Re: Picasa + Photobucket difficult
I don't use any photo management software. I also don't use any software that came with the camera. I also do not allow PS Elements to manage my images. Pentax, Canon, Kodak, they are all screwy. I take the card out of the camera, install it into a small card reader and use windows to import the files into a folder by date. Then I do with them what I will. It is a very simple process that you/ I completely control.
I don't use PhotoBucket. I use Flickr but I suspect PB has their own upload utility based on drag and drop or a simple select and upload.
