Title: "hold" key
Post by: kyjim on October 27, 2008, 10:37:32 AM

I need some quick help.  I have downloaded Picasa (photo management/sharing site) and it requests pressing the "hold" key when selecting photos from different files that hold pictures.  I can't find this key on my keyboard or any reference to it in any documentation on line.  Is this just a typo in Picasa's instructions, or what.  Thanks

I'm sure it's the control key they mean (Ctrl).
Good Luck.

There is a green "hold" button in Picasa.

Thanks...I found the hold key, but I haven't had a chance to try it.  I was trying to make a collage, while putting the pictures I wanted to use in a certain  file folder.  In the meantime, I have created an album file (which I think limits me to 12 pics) and made a collage out of it and it's fantastic.  This is really a great tool.....I just paid to have a collage made of some old family photographs that I  had scanned to my computer.   I'll likely learn more about this software/site as I play around with it.
