Bill,
First, install the ICC profile on your computer, you’ll find the instructions here: http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/profile_install.htm
Next, launch Lightroom, open the export dialog and scroll down to the File Settings section, then click the Color Space box. Choose Other… from the drop-down list (at this point you can probably see only sRGB, AdobeRGB and ProPhoto RGB options there). The Choose Profiles dialog comes up. Here you can select additional color profiles to appear in the Custom Profile popup. Your Costco profile should be there. Select the check box next to it, then click OK to close the dialog.
Now click the Color Space box again and select the added Costco profile. Once you are done configuring your export options, click Add under the Preset list, so your customized export settings are saved as a User Preset. Next time you export photos to Costco you won’t need to customize the settings, simply choose your Costco preset from the list.
Hope this helps.

Vlad,
My monitor is now color profiled. I have located the ICC Printer Profile for the Costco I use and have downloaded it. Can I use the ICC Printer Profile in your plug-in to make sure the prints I receive are color correct? If so How do I do this

Please send me a debug log as described in the troubleshooting section so I can see what could cause the issue.

Vlad,
I’m having trouble connecting to Costco Photo, I get error code 500 cannot connect each time I try. I downloaded the update to my MAC but can’t seem to figure out how to get that download into my plug-in. Which file do I select to complete the download?

As soon as Adobe publishes the new SDK I am going to make my plugins compatible with LR3. Unfortunately, right now there is no information regarding API changes, not even an example of a working plugin.
From what I understand, LR3 beta was released mainly to collect feedback from early adopters before the functionality is finalized. Also, they are probably not going to release the SDK before the retail release of LR3 hits the shelves.

Hi Vlad!

Although LR3 is in Public Beta, any vision of making the Costco plug-in available for LR3?

The current version generates an internal error on Mac OSX 10.6.1 with LR3 Beta.

Thanks!

First, thanks for this plugin!!!

I am running Lightroom 2.5, Mac OSX 10.6, and version 20090907.3 of your plugin.

I am unable to save a preset using the Costco Export I can save presets with other plugins. I receive no errors. When I look in the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lighroom/Export Presets, there is no preset. Any ideas?

Either way, great plugin!
