Order prints from other online sources

I usually order prints online with Costco.com and then pick them up at a nearby store in an hour. If I organize my pictures in Photoshop Elements 4.0, is there a way to upload the ones I want so I can order them at Costco (instead of the preloaded Kodak website)? If not, then what is the easiest way to organize so that my pictures in my Windows XP "My pictures" folder contains the same information to sort & choose which pictures to print? (like tags, etc.) I like the tags and organization tools which will help me figure out which pictures I want to print. (FYI when you order online at Costco, you have to upload the pictures you want printed) Many thanks for any suggestions.

Kathy,
I use a method similar to Trish. I have a tag called "get prints" and one called "already printed." I just put the "get prints" on the appropriate pictures in the Organizer.
When I am ready to upload, I just select the tag, then select all the photos that pop up in the Organizer with that tag. I right click on the photos and select copy. Then I go to a folder on my desktop and paste there. This makes a copy of those pictures in the new folder, as Trish said above.
I then go back to the organizer and place the "already printed" tag on those pictures I just copied. THEN I remove the "get prints" tag (putting "already printed" on them first is important"). After I upload to the print site online, I can empty out the folder on my desktop to save space.
This way I keep track of those I already printed so I don't pay for 5 prints I didn't want just because I keep running across the picture.

Not able to print from an "online" source

I have set-up my HP Officejet 6500 a network printer on my home network and shared it. When I try to print from an "online" source (webpages, AOL mail) the printer does not print. However, when I print from a program on the computer (adobe, word) or do a test page, it prints just fine.
Is there a setting for explorer 9 that limits printing to a network printer?

Have an HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One. Can not get it to print from online sources. Test print works fine.Have disabled fire wall and no improvement.

Ordering prints from other suppliers

Yesterday I uploaded some photos from my iFoto library to a supplier I've been using for ages (photobox.co.uk). All seemed to go well until I got to the ordering prints page; then a warning sign appeared saying that the quality of the photos uploaded was not enough to print 6"x4" prints from. Yet when I ordered them through the Apple print service, there was no problem. I don't particularly want to be tied in to one supplier of prints (especially as photobox is cheaper!) - so how do I make sure that photos I upload are of the correct size?

How did you upload those files? Did you use the files in the Data folder inside the iPhoto Library folder? Those are thumbnail files and are very small. You need to crop them in iPhoto and then export to the Desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option. Then upload to the other site.
Although some sites might not require you to crop to the size desired first you may get them cropped in a way you don't want. Most digital camera photos are in a size ratio of 4:3. The 4 x 6 inch print has a different ratio and the printers often will automatically scale the 6 inch size to fill the paper and cut off some of the 4 inch dimension one each side.

Unable to order prints from iPhoto online

After I download photos from my camera to iPhoto and attempt to upload to Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Costco, etc., I receive an error indicating that the resolution is too low. I've recently converted over to the mac from PC and didn't have this problem before. Does iPhoto reduce the resolution when it brings the photos over from the digital camera? If so, how did I fix this? Any thoughts would be appreciated?

It sounds like you are uploading the thumbnails from the Data folder. It is recommended that you don't manipulate photos in the iPhoto Library folder via the Finder, as you can damage your library.
In iPhoto select all the photos you want. Then do File>Export>File Export at full size to a folder on your desktop. These will be the full-sized files and will use the edited version of any photos you have edited. Use the desktop files when uploading to the developer. You can delete these when you've finished, since they are copies.

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.

When printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?

when printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?

This can happen when Firefox has misread the paper size from the information supplied by Windows. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_printer_name.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.

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'

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

One way would be to acquire the iPhoto app for your iPad from the App Store. You could even create photo books using that app!
