This plugin allows you to have photos printed at a local retailer for delivery or pickup. It exports images to LifePics.com, which has a network of over 20,000 retail outlets all over the world, many of which can have prints ready for pickup within an hour.
You can search for a local retailer via US ZIP code or Canadian Postal Code, or latitude and longitude worldwide.
This plugin works in Lightroom 5, Lightroom 4, Lightroom 3, and Lightroom 2.
The same download works for both Windows and Mac. See the box to the upper right for the download link link (in orange) and installation instructions.

| 20130520.31 |
Added the ability in Lr5 to export images even if the master image file is not available, so long as there's a smart preview available. |
| 20130501.30 | Update for Lr5 |
| 20130328.29 | Fix for the registration system. |
| 20130319.28 |
Fixed a possible plugin crash in Lr2 that might happen if the remote site's servers are failing. |
| 20130220.27 |
Added support for some new template tokens: FlagStatus (requires Lr4.1 or later), and for Lr3 and later, a bunch of IPTC extended metadata: AdditionalModelInfo, CodeOfOrgShown, DigImageGUID, Event, ImageSupplierImageId, MinorModelAge, ModelAge, ModelReleaseID, ModelReleaseStatus, NameOfOrgShown, PersonShown, PlusVersion, PropertyReleaseID, PropertyReleaseStatus, and SourceType. |
| 20130214.26 | Small fix for Lr2 |
| 20130209.25 | More build-system maintenance |
| 20130206.24 | Tweak for my registration system |
| 20121014.22 | Added a help dialog when encountering the mysterious 'handle in the wrong state' error. |
| 20120821.21 |
Updates to the environment in the {LUA} token (in the template tokens in my plugins) to include photoTime() and currentTime(), and other changes to match the updated docs at that link. . |
| 20120614.20 | Very slow uploads in Lr4.1 could cause the new progress bar stuff to blow up. |
| 20120608.19 | Fix an "attempt to perform arithmetic on field" error. |
| 20120526.18 |
Update to handle the Mac App Store version of Lightroom. Tweak for Lr4.1RC2. Enhanced the send-log dialog to hopefully make reports more meaningful to me, yielding, I hope, the ability to respond more sensibly to more reports. Added to the template tokens supported by the plugin: {FullMasterFile}, {FullMasterFolder}, {FullExportedFile}, and {FullExportedFolder}. |
| 20120330.18 | Update to handle 4.1RC |
| 20120309.17 | Update to the debug logging to better track down timing issues that might arise. |
| 20120301.16 | Oops, broke new logins in the previous big update... doh! Sorry. Fixed. |
| 20120229.15 |
Files that are offline are now detected before an export/publish begins, and if there are any, offers the option to abort the export, or just skip the offline ones. This is a lot more clear than the "dng_error_file_not_found" error you get from Lightroom if you follow through with an export attempt of an offline image. More on the march toward Lr4, including upheaval in the code to handle Lightroom APIs being discontinued in Lr4. Bumped up the minimum Lr3 version to Lr3.5, to ensure we've got those bug fixes. Lr2 and Lr4 are still supported, of course. |
| 20120114.14 | More tweaks for Lr4b |
| 20120112.13 |
Update for Lr4 beta: explain in the plugin manager that the plugin can't be registered in the beta. |
| 20111210.12 |
When doing a plugin upgrade, offer the ability to flush all the old copies of the plugin. Had issues with the registration button sometimes not showing. Added a system-clock check and reports to the user if the system clock is more than a minute out of date. An incorrect system clock can cause problems with various kinds of communication and authentication with some of my plugins, so I've just gone ahead and added this to every plugin. |
| 20110712.11 | Had a minor plugin-crashing boo-boo in the previous update. |
| 20110711.10 |
More on the catalog-access errors that some are getting with Lr3. Really long captions could cause a stack overflow. |
| 20110703.9 | For Lr2, fixes a 'must be called inside withReadAccessDo' error I'd recently introduced. For Lr3, tries to address a similar error that seems to pop up in rare cases. |
| 20110623.8 |
There's a bug in Lightroom that causes it to sometimes include private keywords in exported copies. The plugin now detects these situations and alerts you to them, allowing you to avoid a privacy blunder. |
| 20110301.7 |
The check-for-updates stuff didn't work properly... fixed. Fixed a bug whereby one couldn't export via preset to an account different from the currently-logged in account. |
| 20110113.6 | Added {CroppedWidth} and {CroppedHeight} to the template tokens used by my plugins. |
| 20101208.5 | Update to handle a change in LifePics's API. |
| 20100829.4 | Made the revalidation process much simpler, doing away with the silly need for a revalidation file. |
| 20100820.3 |
Discovered a bug in my plugin build system that caused horribly difficult-to-track-down errors in one plugin, so am pushing out rebuilt versions of all plugins just in case. |
| 20100817.2 |
Added code to allow plugin revalidation after having been locked due to a bad Lightroom serial number. |
| 20100809.1 | Initial public release. |
trying to get this lifepics plug-in to activate. Won’t let me because it says using a invalid ser # which is not the case? Have other plug-in’s installed and working no problems says I must re-validate plug-ins?
plug-in is currently disabled.
must be a work around? hate to call Adobe and wait and wait and wait
If the plugin says you have an invalid serial number, you certainly do. Check Help > System Info to make sure you’ve got your personal Lr serial number actually installed, then restart Lightroom. —Jeffrey
What a superb plug-in concept.
I have been using another high volume online retail printer and find the interim Hard disk export then upload process burdensome.
I am in Ontario, Canada. I dunno if I will like Rexall printing but I am going to try it.
thnx Jeffrey
This plugin asks about the ZIP only in the First Time tab. I’d like to pick the order location at the time of each export — possible?
Not easily… the way the company has things set up, you have the location associated with your account, and they don’t allow an app to change the location, so you have to visit the web site to do so. Seems very kludgy to me. —Jeffrey
Just installed your “Order Prints Locally” plugin to give it a try. LR4 plug in manager tells me the plugin is installed properly but it doesn’t show up under my list of Publishing Services. I’ve shut down LR4 and restarted it after installing the plugin but still can’t see it from my library module. Please advise.
It’s not a Publish plugin, only traditional Export. Select the images and click the “Export” button in the lower left of Library. —Jeffrey
