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.

Version 20090907.3 is available for download.

This version contains several nice additions and improvements.

One time I needed to use Costco Photo Center to print my photos I was surprised to find out they didn’t offer a Lightroom plugin to upload files to their lab. Their web site uses a propitiatory API, which they don’t disclose (at least as of today it hasn’t been disclosed yet). But I was up for the challenge. After a few days of battling it out with the black box of Costco web site I was able to produce this little plugin.

Download and use this plugin free of charge, all I ask in return from you is to provide some feedback.

Visit the Export to Costco Photo Center page to download the plugin package.
