Ordering Prints Online with Picasa

Picasa doesn’t have its own online print service, but it does give you a quick way to connect to other services like Kodak Gallery (Section 16.7) or Shutterfly (below). Select the photos you want to print and then click the Order Prints button at the bottom of the window. Picasa asks you to choose from a long list of partners including EasyShare, Shutterfly, Snapfish, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, and Zazzle (Section 17.6).

Once you’ve chosen your service, everything is automatic: Picasa starts your browser, logs you on to the site you’ve chosen, and uploads your photos. The steps you take to complete your order depends on the company handling the printing—at this point, you’re in their hands.
