Some pictures in various folders in Picasa2 are getting out of sequence. The correct picture shows in the Picture Tray but the picture showing on screen is actually the next picture in the library (not the one showing in the Picture Tray). So when you click along the pictures in the library they are one frame out. The captions underneath the picture on screen are correct for the photo showing in the picture tray but not for the picture on screen.

Just as the incorrect picture appears on screen the word "Refining" flashes in the middle of the screen.

How can I rectify this problem.

It displays the picture immediately but refines it as it decompresses on the fly.

Often only visible on larger file size images.

Now I never noticed the word "refining" before. Shows how observant I am.

However I went to Picasa help file and found the answer to my prob. (Should have done this first, I know) Apparently the Picasa database can become corrupted causing the wrong photo to be displayed. I followed their directions and as I say solved the prob.

Thanks

480324 2006-08-24 01:55:00 Oh dear. A help file which helps? :mad: And free software which works? :mad: I'm sure that won't conform to the Microsoft Windows Compatibility standards. :thumbs: Graham L (2)
480325 2006-08-24 02:28:00 Gee Graham you have me worried now seeing that it may not conform to Microsoft Compatability standards. Do you think I should tell Mr Gates?? ;)

All I know is that the correct photo is now showing on screen and I can stop blaming the wife for stuffing it up in the first place :D
