each time. When your order is all set, enter your payment info, and in a few days
you—or your lucky recipients—will receive an envelope of prints in the mail.
TIP
Elements automatically checks for updates to Adobe's partner companies and automatic-
ally notifies you about special promotions. You can stop it from doing either by heading
to the Organizer and choosing Edit→Preferences→Adobe Partner Services/Elements Or-
ganizer→Preferences→Adobe Partner Services and, in the “Check for Services” section,
turning off the appropriate checkboxes.
Even though Elements makes ordering prints from Shutterfly really convenient, you can also
use Shutterfly without going through Elements (just go to Shutterfly.com in any web
browser), or use other online print services like Snapfish (
www.snapfish.com
). The real ad-
vantage of ordering from Elements is convenience.
TIP
You can start an order right from the Organizer's Full Screen view (
Full Screen View
)
:
The Fix panel's Actions section has a “Mark for Printing” button that looks like a printer.
Click it when you see photos you want to print. Then, when you return to the Media
Browser from Full Screen view, a pop-up window offers you the choice of printing the
photos at home or ordering prints. Click Order Prints and Elements prepares your photos
and opens the Shutterfly window.
Printing at Home
If you prefer to print photos at home, Elements has you covered. It's quite easy to print from
Elements, but this is one of the areas where your operating system makes a little bit of a dif-
ference. In Windows, you can print from either the Editor or the Organizer, and the process is
pretty much the same from either, although if you want to print groups of photos on a single
page, you have to do that from the Organizer. On a Mac, all printing takes place via the Edit-
or, no matter where you start.
