•There is now an “Add Image” button when you edit placemarks.
•Within Picasa, copy the URL of your photo by simply right clicking (control click on the Mac). A pop-up menu appears. Select “Copy Image URL”. The exact phrasing varies from browser to browser. (Don’t use Internet Explorer as it’s more complicated).
•In Google Earth, click “Add Image” and paste the URL. Check to see that it ends “.jpg” or another image file extension.
•Click OK.
