I'm developing a module which allows the user to associate Picasa photos to nodes.
Instead of just uploading photos, you can directly access your Picasa Webalbums through Picasa API and select images from there and associate them to a node.
Advantages
* You can store and manage your images externally with Picasa or Picasa Webalbums
* You can embed your Picasa photos easily in your Drupal site

Hm, don't use picasa, but
Hm, don't use picasa, but have you considered making a plugin for emimage for emfield instead of a custom module?
Haven't thought of that yet.
Haven't thought of that yet. Thanks for your point!
i'm not familiar with the emfield module... but apparently its a pretty "big deal" with a lot of users.
I just checked emfield / image out... it's not exactly what ive planned.
How I see it, you would use the emimage if you just want to associate one (or maximum a handful) of images to a node.
My Picasa module on the otherhand should be able to cope with whole albums. You can select any photos from your Picasa account and display them on a node. Maybe more of a gallery approach.
I don't know whether people can use such a Picasa module. I just realised that theres no solution out there who can properly deal with Picasa photos.

Any progress on this?
This is exactly what I am looking for for a project. Have you done any work on it? Depending on where my project goes, I'd probably be interested in collaborating with you on it.
No progress so far
Hello there,
sorry for my late reply. I have not implemented anything yet. But I take into consideration now. If you still need this functionality on your site, let me know. First I'm looking for alternative ways.
