Am I being thick (usually am) or is it impossible to create a link to a single photo in a Google Picasaweb album?
Used to be able to with with old Google photos but since getting a Google+ account, viewing a photo is now an Ajax "pop up"... Google ironically is not my friend...
Its crap. They seem to be now inventing things like wheels but square not round. They no doubtlook nice but are impractical for many users. Brian
Following up - the only "solution" seems to be hit the photo's Share button, add my own email address and then pick up the URL from the email. Seems a faff...
Can everyone see this link? :
Can't see any way OTHER than delving into the source of the page, e.g.
You can SHARE it with others, but that assumes they're G+ users in one of your circles.
Only by cutting and pasting into the address box. It's broken by a line wrap.
I was caught out by the same thing: I had tested the one-picture system once, and later, I tried to do it for more, and it wouldn't work, I could only link to the whole album.
Your link above could be shortened by creating a tinyurl, that would make it manageable.
Thanks to everyone for confirming I'm not mad...
The main attraction for Google was Picasa as a way to organise stuff offline and then sync (ie when I am jacked into a gig link at work).
But they seem to have truely f**ked up PicasaWeb. As you noticed, it is optimised for G+ sharing and bugger all else.
And the URLs suck.
Been playing with Flickr and am trying dfo for linux as a picasa alternative
- unfortunately, seems to crash on trying to upload anything :(
View page source and try to hook out the pic/pop-up referrer - works sometimes. Does the old method still work if you log in with a different browser that doesn't know about your G+ account?

Purely as a user, if I see a link to oics on Picasa I usually don't bother, I don't see why I should need to turn on javascript, referrer.logging, automatic redirection, probably flash too and use a secure connection just to view a few pics.
That is just me of course.
+1 flickr isn't as nice as it was, the amount of scripting that goes on rose quite steeply a while back which slows it down.
Just to have a public place to bung an image with a direct link to that image tinypic.com is probably the best.
