How to Add Picnik Buttons in "Picasa"

Go to the Help menu and click "About Picasa" to see your version number.

The Picnik button that redirects you to Picknik.com is not available when you first open "Picasa." Instead, it appears next to the editing features once a picture is opened for editing. Double-click a photo within Picasa, or click "View and Edit." On the Basic Fixes tab, you should see an icon labeled, "Edit in Picnik." If it is missing, try re-installing or updating the program.
