After we take photos, we have to transfer them to a computer for editing, and then return later to orkut to upload them to an album. That’s too much work! Make your life easier using following steps to upload photos to orkut directly from Picasa.

1. Install Picasa (Ignore if you already have picasa installed)

2. Install an orkut button on your Picasa program by downloading the free ‘Share photos on orkut’ plugin. (Works for Windows or Mac)

3. If your Internet browser asks your permission to launch the Picasa software, say “yes.” Once Picasa opens, simply add the orkut button.

4. Next, just select the photos you want to upload to orkut and click the orkut button you’ve added to Picasa. You can upload your photos to an an existing orkut album, or create a new one.

The photo uploads will begin, and a slider bar will show the progress of your upload. Once it’s complete, you’ll be redirected to your orkut album page where you can share your photos with your friends, or set privacy levels for your new album.
So start up Picasa, browse through your pictures and share your selected or all photographs with your friends with just a few clicks.
