I am very excited about the ShutterBug feature. This will definitely help "Grandma" buy as many reprints as her heart wants... without bothering me... :smile:

When you click on "Print on Shutterbug", which picture does it send? The full sized one? The resized one? A hidden one?

I am asking because my normal photos from my digital cam are about 700 - 1000k. But when I used to upload them to my old website, I would always resize them down so that it would be smaller/faster to download.

Maybe Gallery already does this.. But what would be great would be if you could specify the picture file that Gallery would send to Shutterbug, but not necessarily have it displayed within the album (like a hidden pic).

So.. When you visit my album, you would see the thumbnail (1). Clicking on that thumbnail, you see the 640x480 pic (2). When you click on photo, you get a bigger pic (3). but when you click on "Print on ShutterBug", Gallery will automatically send the big 1MB file (from the web server to Sutterbug). This would give the user the most resize options because of the higher quality file.

Did I make any sense? I hope so. :wink:
Thanks for your help.

That's exactly what Gallery does.
