If you want to convert from iPhoto to Picasa you need to export each Event one by one into properly named folders and then import those folders into Picasa. So again do NOT ever allow Picasa to directly import from iPhoto. Picture hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of these completely randomly named folders. Instead you’ll get folders with a random date name and then every photo will get scattered into random subfolders called %mARz2anQGSVo4X7HEhYcA or +Chz97IhSbVLldJW7hbPkA etc etc. What the heck was Google thinking? It scatters your photos into a thousand different completely random subfolders with no rhyme or reason.You would think when you have an Event called Mother’s Day in iPhoto with all photos being taken on the same exact day that Picasa would important them into a folder called “Mother’s Day”.

We’ve been teaching Picasa since 2004 and have nearly 100 tutorial videos available in our Learning Library. This tip, and the whole website are brought to you by Geeks on Tour. This video shows you the process: (please note the comment by Michele below – make sure to check that all your pictures did, indeed, get imported.
IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER QUIT IPHOTO FOR MAC
Picasa for Mac provides the tools to do the work quite easily. If you’ve been thinking about using Picasa, the announced end of iPhoto gives you the reason to do that now.
So, this process of “migrating from iPhoto to Picasa” is really just copying all the pictures out of your iPhoto library and putting them into folders where Picasa – or any other program that works with.
jpg files in your computer’s filing system. It is a tool for viewing, organizing, and editing that works with the individual. Picasa, on the other hand is not a container for your photos. All your pictures are inside that ‘package’ and you can only view them using iPhoto. If you look at your Mac’s folders and files (using Finder,) you will only see one – very large – file for your iPhoto LIbrary. You see, iPhoto keeps all your pictures in its proprietary library structure. I recommend following this procedure now just to be sure that your pictures are not held hostage by iPhoto. It sounds a lot like Google+ Photos actually, especially the Auto Backup part!
IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER QUIT IPHOTO FULL
Of course, Apple is providing a migration path to its Photos app and, with full integration of iCloud Photo Library, I expect that this is going to be a very good option. I can’t find any information on whether you will still be able to use the iPhoto you currently have, or whether it will stop working like on the iPad. The Macintosh version will wait till sometime next year when OSX Yosemite is released. The iPhoto App on the iPad is already disabled if you upgraded to iOS 8. Apple is putting all your photos into one basket called simply, “Photos.” It will no longer be offering either of its current photo management tools, iPhoto or Aperture. In case you haven’t heard, iPhoto is going away.
