Costco Plugin Updated
by Vlad on Jan.30, 2010, under Costco Photo Center
Version 20100130.10 is available for download.
This update fixes a couple of issues specific to the Mac platform. Also, in Lightroom 3 beta, the photo lab logo is back on top of the export dialog.
I’d like to express my gratitude to Ann Mehrman, who not only submitted a very detailed bug report but also helped me troubleshoot the issues and test a number of updates I had to make before everything looked and behaved as expected. If you want to check out Ann’s pictures, visit her web site: www.annmehrman.com
It appears these issues have been around for a while, however other users were either too shy or too busy to troubleshoot or even report them. Oh well, thanks to large companies who often sacrify quality in a constant effort to improve profitability and outsource customer support to other places where no one cares about your issues and barely speak your language, most people no longer believe in technical support. But sometimes you should try, just like Ann did! 
Export List plug-in is now compatible with LR3 Beta
by Vlad on Jan.26, 2010, under Export List
The Export List plug-in is now compatible with Lightroom 3 Beta:
Walmart CA plug-in is now compatible with LR3 Beta
by Vlad on Jan.25, 2010, under Walmart Canada
The Walmart Canada plug-in is now compatible with Lightroom 3 Beta:
Export to Walmart Photo Centre (Canada): 20100125.2
Also, now the plug-in correctly handles the situation when you attempt to upload photos that exceed the 6MB size limit of Walmart Photo Centre.
A note for LR3 Beta users: due to some internal changes, Lightroom 3 Beta no longer displays the branding graphics at the top of the export dialog.
LR3 Beta compatibility for Costco, Costco CA, and CVS export plugins
by Vlad on Jan.24, 2010, under CVS Photo Center, Costco Canada, Costco Photo Center
Today I release 3 more updates to offer Lightroom 3 Beta compatibility for Costco US, Costco CA, and CVS Photo Center plug-ins:
Export to Costco Photo Center (US): 20100124.8
Export to Costco Photo Centre (CA): 20100124.3
Export to CVS Photo Center: 20100124.2
Both Costco plug-ins also feature a fix for a mild annoyance with some photos taking their time (up to 5-10 minutes) to show up in the online album after the export.
A note for LR3 Beta users: due to some internal changes, Lightroom 3 Beta no longer displays the branding graphics at the top of the export dialog.
Adorama Plugin is now compatible with LR3 Beta
by Vlad on Jan.23, 2010, under AdoramaPix
Version 20100123.6 is available for download.
I, among thousands of other Lightroom fans can’t wait to get my hands on LR3, which appears to be scheduled for release around April. Many users, however, have already jumped the gun and started using the beta version not only for testing (as advised by Adobe), but for their photo processing needs as well. This release of my Adorama plug-in is an attempt to support their optimism and trust in a great product by giving them the ability to export photos from Lightroom 3 Beta to AdoramaPix.
This update also fixes a couple of issues with saving user choices and reusing server connection on subsequent exports.
There was a Mac user who reported an issue with the export dialog being too wide and truncated on the right-hand side. Unfortunately she didn’t reply to my requests to provide a screenshot. If anyone is experiencing the same issue, please send me a screenshot so I can see what’s going on.
