The difference in photo file size can be attributed to any edits that you made within Picasa before you uploaded. After you make edits to your photo, Picasa needs to then re-sample the image to create a new version of the jpeg (apart from the original). This requires Picasa to apply an amount of jpeg compression to your photo. In order to incorporate your photo edits into your uploaded image, the actual size of the uploaded photo is therefore less than the full photo file. If you made no edits to your photos and uploaded it at the 'slowest upload; largest size setting,' you would find the full photo file uploaded. You can control the jpeg compression level of your files by using the 'Export' option before you upload to Picasa Web Albums.
