order professional prints

Whether it's because you don't have a color printer or you're accustomed to the prints you get with processed film, you can still obtain professional prints from your favorite digital photos. Picasa 2 provides Web links to five digital image processing firms: Wal-Mart, Ofoto (Kodak), Ritz Camera/Wolf Camera, Shutterfly, and Snapfish. After creating an account with one of these companies, you can upload images from Picasa and order prints, posters, or photo gift items (such as calendars, mugs, and mouse pads).

Select the pictures you want to print, adding them to the Picture Tray.

Click the Order button (bottom of the screen), choose File > Order Prints, or press . The Picasa Prints & Products screen appears.

Click the Choose button for the provider you'd like to use. The Order Prints window for the chosen provider appears.

If you already have an account with the provider, enter your login information and click OK.

After successfully logging in to your account, a browser window will open to the provider's site. All images in the Picture Tray will automatically be uploaded. Follow the provider's instructions to organize and view your stored photos, allow friends to view them, or order prints.

Images uploaded to Ofoto are organized in albums. Click tabs, links, and thumbnails to perform various activities.
