If you use Picasa (like I do) and use it to quickly burn gift Cd’s that you can give to your friends or family, then you might find it a little annoying that Picasa does not let you uncheck pictures that you may not want to burn from your folder. Well, there is a way around that and it involves hiding the picture first and then burning the Gift CD, and then un-hiding your pictures.

Here’s how to do it:

Go to the folder and select the pictures you do not want to include from that set by pressing the CNTRL key, then right click and click on Hide.

Once the pictures are hidden, click on Gift CD located in the top menu bar:

You will notice that Picasa’s count for the number of pictures in the folder is less because it does not count the hidden pictures.

Once you’ve burned your CD, now we can un-hide the pictures by going to the View menu and clicking on Hidden Pictures:

Your hidden pictures will now show up in the folder as greyed out pictures. Select them again, right click and select Unhide.

Hope that helps!
