Hi! I am brand new to the forum.
My SGS2 recently went into a bootloop. I had it wiped and restored, despite losing my apps, photos and contacts. I can recover my apps and contacts, however I permanently lost my photos, which I was gutted about.
After setting up the phone, I went into the gallery and realised that my phone had actually automatically backed up 330 of my videos and pictures! It was all through Picasa. After looking through it all, I realised that I could not delete any of the photos, or attach them to a whatsapp message, etc.
So here is the problem: I want to save and use hundreds of these pictures. However, there are some that I do not want on my device entirely. I also cannot move the picasa pictures to the external memory card.
Things you may want to know:

Things you may want to know:
- My device is unrooted and I am not going to root it.
- I run Andorid 4.1.2 JB
- The Picasa albums do not show up under 'My Files' or via KIES.
- Some of the pictures are sentimental.
- They show up under Google Photos.
- I do not want to disable Picasa unless I can save the necessary pictures.
