Of course not, because they're tem****ary and non-destructive edits
which can all be losslessly undone. All you have to do to get them
noticed by other editors is to save them, which is easily done either
on a single image by CTRL-s, or folder batcher by saving all edits at
once. Whichever you do, because that's the first editing stage which
introduces losses, Picasa helpfully archives an original unedited copy
to which you can always revert with a single keystroke, even if you go
on to do further edits with other editors.

And all because you couldn't be bothered to read the instructions
which explained how easy it was to do manually. In fact I applaud
Picasa's philosophy of not doing this automatically, and therefore
giving you the maximum degree of control over the very im****tant
distinction between lossless editing and lossy editing.
I bet you haven't read your camera's manual either :-)
