San Francisco Photos

I got back from a kick-ass San Francisco vacation the other day, and I am uploading photos now. I am going with picasa first, and then facebook, since I want to a) share with non-facebook people, and b) it's an export option in digiKam. My main issue so far seems to be that it is taking forever to upload the first (huge) batch of photos, and I think I know why. Apparently, picasa is resizing my photos to 1200x1600, and I am uploading full-size, so I am wasting bandwidth. This max-size would have been nice to know beforehand! Facebook apparently has a max dimension of 640. That I am going to resize first. Neither were up-front or clear about this; hell, picasa still shows the original uploaded size.

This would have been nice to know first.

UPDATE: Picasa allows the full size, but you have to go with the "Download" menu to get it. I was going to delete this little rant, but since I couldn't find much on the image size issue on the web, people can learn from my mistakes.
