Google+ Howto: Share and post your pictures

More and more i see people in forums, FB and google+ asking how to Share and post individual pictures well here is how.

click on any of the pictures to open full size

Login to your google+ account 

As you can see im already in my album section in google+ and you would think that from here you could post and share individual picture WRONG! what you need to do is click on the "Photo" section shown above. Maybe at a later date they might fix or sort this but for the time being this is how you can share, post and edit your photo settings.

From the above picture you will notice that its opened in another page called "Picasa Web Albums" and if like me you thought i have never used, uploaded or even seen this page. Well if you upload pictures to your blog, Google+ and other Google web applications then all your pictures get stored in you "Picasa Web Albums" regardless if you have been there or not.

Once you have click to open one of the albums in "Picasa Web Albums" you have a few options you can "Link to this Photo" gives options to link to and also select the thumbnail size for posting, you will also notice a comments box where you can add a description and comment about the picture and if you notice just below the comments box it says "This comment will be shared on Google+ with people who can see this photo" now to set this you would do this via your google+ picture album and select you desired circle by click on the green share album button.

To set your picture setting click on the cog wheel at the top right hand side a small drop down will appear and then click on photos settings this will then open the following picture below.

Now the photo settings section will open and from here you can edit settings from the general, email and storage but most importantly the Privacy & permissions which you can allow visitors to be able to download or even order your pictures and also licence to your photos so edit these to you own needs.

Hope this little guide will help you along in google+
