    摘要: A system and method for ordering a print product using a mobile computing device is provided. The system includes a photofinisher configured for receiving a print order from the mobile computing device and producing the print product based upon the print order. Further, a print product ordering module is configured for allowing the print order to be completed using the mobile computing device, wherein the print order includes the digital image and the print product selected using the mobile computing device. A wireless local area network is configured for placing the mobile computing device in communication with the photofinisher when the mobile computing device is located within a range of the wireless local area network. The print order completed using the mobile computing device is communicated to the photofinisher when the mobile computing device is located within the range of the wireless local area network.

    摘要: An image data communication system provided herein allows a customer to upload and save a digital image data file in a first resolution format to a server of a photofinishing service over a network. The photofinisher establishes a range of print sizes of acceptable quality based on the first resolution of the image data file. When the customer places a print order, the system compares the requested print size to the resolution of the saved image data file. If the requested print size is within the acceptable print quality range, the order is processed and shipped or otherwise made available to the customer. If the requested print size is outside the acceptable quality print range, the customer is notified and given the option of uploading the same image in a second resolution which is higher than the first resolution, after which the photofinisher processes the order using the second resolution.
