Help with ordering prints from Costco.

I am trying to upload photos to Costco for the first time on my Mac. When I click 'get photos' I get a window that gives me choices of where to get the photos from. This is when I run into trouble, I click the 'iPhoto Library', I then get a choice of folders but cannot get to my pictures. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

You never go directly into the iPhoto library
Last time I used the Costco site they did not use the proper APIs and to order I had to export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there - contact Costco for futher assistance or an upgrade in their web site to support the proper Apple access

Help with ordering prints

Can anyone help with ordering prints for Shutterfly? I keep getting to step 4 (payment type) and then it just goes to blank page and nothing happens.

Thanks for your help, I am new to all of this. I think it was my edited pics that were the problem, they were to big of files, I had to go and save them as a new file as a jpeg and then went to shutterfly and downloaded from there. I never could get it to work from Photoshop Elem.

Looks like some problem! Just try the following steps. They worked for me: 1. Go to shutterfly website (www.shutterfly.com) and log into your account.2. In My Account Section> Billing Information, add your Credit Card details and Save.3. Logout from your account and open Photoshop Elements application to order prints.4. Now,on step4 (payment type),your Credit Card details will appear magically Let me know if this solution works for you. It can be of some help to other members too.

Problems with 'Order Prints' from Aperture 2.1.3 Mystery borders

*Some background:*
I've been using Aperture for about 3 months now, importing most of my iPhoto library into the program. I have only recently started shooting in RAW format, most of my photos image files are in JPG format. In the past, I've had no problems with obtaining prints from within iPhoto or to a limited extent Aperture. So, far as I know my program is up-to-date. I have 2 plugins installed: Aperture2twitter and *flickr export Lite* both of which work acceptably.
*The problem:* I ordered 317 4×6 prints from my aperture library.
Every photo has a 1/4″ border on both sides of the image, i.e. the printed image is only 4×5 1/2″. I have never ordered this quantity before, but I don’t believe that was the problem, it appears that the processing machine was misaligned and no one reviewed the prints prior to shipping.
I tried again, on 4 different images ... all JPG files with 3 out of 4 were OK, but one exhibited the "border" issue.
I haven't a clue what is going on here. Apple implied +(via email)+ that I would have to individually crop every photo to ensure proper aspect ratio. This makes no sense to me at all, as I have never had this kinda problem before.
Could the plugin(s) be interfering with the s/w? Is there a trick to having photos printed from within Aperture that was not present in iPhoto?
Any thoughts on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I believe that I've solved this problem, with the help of the folks at Apple who handle Aperture tech support using the Aperture support ID that came with the product.
So the short answer is: Aperture print services REALLY DO REQUIRE the image to be cropped (constrained as they say) prior to the data being sent to Apple Print services.
Here is the link that describes cropping http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1993?viewlocale=en_US
The process as described is cumbersome, but the support tech pointed out that in Aperture, crops are 'non-destrutive' and can be undone simply by removing the check mark on the Adjustments tab of the image you crop. *This means that you do not have to make a duplicate image for cropping.*
So, here is the process that I arrived at to ensure that my "order prints" job turned out:
1. create an album of all the photos you want to submit for printing.
2. for each image call up the Crop HUD by pressing 'c' on the keyboard.
3.select the aspect ratio that you want for your photo. Make sure that it does NOT SAY Master Aspect Ratio, or Main Display Aspect Ratio.
4. Crop the photo
on the adjustments tab you can see the X and Y data and Height / Width information which can be undone.
5. Submit your print request to Apple for all the cropped photos.
When the prints arrive, you can compare the prints with the submitted photos. They should all be good. You can then delete the album (since it really is not a physical thing) or keep it for reference.
It all seemed a bit arcane to me, as I never had to worry about this in iPhoto. It must be that iPhoto sends different data than Aperture. I have just received 200 + prints back from Apple Print Services with about 98% success rate. I just have to adjust my thinking and my process when dealing with Aperture.

Error when trying to order prints through costco

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 running on Windows 7 64 bit. When iclick on Create and Order prints from Costco - the window opens but says "We are sorry, it appears you have encountered an error." Any idea will be appreciated.

I have the same problem. I know this was an issue several months ago, but they fixed the problem and it was working fine. Now, I can't get connected to Costco again. I really like this feature when it works, so hopefully they will get the issue resolved quickly!
I take that back!!! I just tried it again this morning and it is working fine!! Thank you whoever fixed it!

Ordering Prints from Shutterfly - Blank White Dialog Box

I am trying to order some prints through Photoshop Elements using Shutterfly.
I select my prints I want to order, hit order prints from shutterfly.
A white dialog box appears overtop of Photoshop elements where I can login to shutterfly.
I successfully login, select my photos, select the recipient, and get to the part where it tells me the cost. I hit next and the dialog box turns white with nothing in it
I have flash player and java installed. In my resource manager I can see it trying to talk to shutterfly, but it quickly drops to no traffic being sent/receive
Even if I wait a good amount of time the white box never fills with a way for me to pay or anything like that.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks

Do the following :
Log in to shutterfly website
Go to My Account and edit Billing Information.
Launch PSE and proceed with print workflow.
The shutterfly service will now pick up the billing information and there will be no 'blank screen'

Order prints from iPhoto 7.0.1

I've tried several times over several days to order prints from iPhoto 7.0.1. I get to step 3 in setting up an account and I get an "unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later."
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Apple has been having problems with some of their servers recently and that might be the reason you're having trouble.
Try reentering all of your account information and reset the 1-click ordering. That may help jump start the process.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

HP C6180 not responding with wireless print from Mac OS X 10.9

My Printer does not work with wireless printing from my Macbook Air OS X 10.9
I tried all the normal stuff I can find.
The text that is there is: The Printer is not responding.

Hi XavierMaassen,
I understand you have a Photosmart C6180 that you're having issues using in Mac 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
I'm wondering how you installed the printer. If you had it installed prior to upgrading to 10.9 that could be part of the problem. There are currently no HP drivers available for this printer for 10.9, so you need to uninstall the HP software and install the printer via the Apple updates. Once you do that you should be able to print normally and scan using 3 different methods.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Ordering Prints from LR Raw/DNG

I've got a boatload of raw/dng photos I need to print. What's a good workflow for ordering prints from an online service?
Say something like Shutterfly? Looks like there's a plugin for LR. I'd like to avoid mass converting to Jpeg/srgb... is there any service that takes a raw/proPhoto rgb? Or is that overkill?

JPG highest quality, full resolution with sRGB should be good enough for a place like Shutterfly, unless they gprovide formats for special paper, then you can convert to those, but be sure you specify they have a custom profile and no auto-adjustments are to be performed, otherwise things won’t look right since they’re likely to assume sRGB for the profile.
Raw cannot have ProPhotoRGB associated with it since it is raw sensor data not RGB data. And a raw file would be interpreted by the printing company using whatever software and settings they wanted, completely ignoring whatever you’d done in Lightroom.
What gives you the idea that you need to send raw photos, or even ProPhotoRGB photos? Is the prints going to be in glowing or fluorescent ink. I can’t imagine any other reason to use ProPhotoRGB as an image profile desitined for printed output since paper usually has a lower gamut than your monitor, even. You use ProPhotoRGB with 16-bit TIFs for intermedia or archival perposes. You wouldn’t want to use ProPhotoRGB with an 8-bit format or as a final output format for printed or display purposes since the gamut of the paper or display would be much smaller than ProPhotoRGB. Normally you use ProPhotoRGB as an intermediate format for images that will be adjusted further.

Can I order prints from pages

I have created a brochure on pages, and I am wondering if it is possible to order prints from apple of that brochure the way you used to be able to make and order photo albums from apple?

No Apple only does that for iPhoto albums.
You will have to make pdfs of your brochure and go to a commercial printer.
Just make sure you have checked with them what their requirements for artwork is.

I want to order prints from two different albums but don't want to pay shipping twice?

I want to order prints from two different albums but don't want to pay shipping twice- How do I do this?

Select all the photos in both albums and order - or make a temp album containing all photos you want to order prints of and select all and order
The easiest way is the second suggestion -- make a temp album containing all of the photos and select all

Ordering prints from Apple

I want to try out ordering prints from Apple. The FAQ on Apple's site says that I should send JPEGs. If I only have RAW files in my Aperture project do I need to specifically produce JPEGs and have Aperture post those to Apple (via 'Order Prints') or is Aperture smart enough to create JPEGs from my RAW file and its adjustments?
Is Apple's print service decent? I'm in the UK.

I do not use RAW but the instructions seem pretty clear to me - http://www.apple.com/uk/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/
And there is a form at the bottom of the page to ask questions
As far as quality, I've been happy
If your images are not 4x6 (or what ever print size you want to order) and few are remember that they will be cropped to the print size - if you want to be sure that the remaining photos is what you want then you should crop rather than leaving it to chance
