Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual

Online Creations

Besides what you can do in Elements, you can create a handful of projects online at Kodak EasyShare Gallery (Ordering Prints). You can order Kodak greeting cards (using their formats and templates instead of the Elements Greeting Card choices), for example. First, select your photos in the Organizer or open them in the Editor.

Then go to Create → More Options → Order Photo Greeting Card. Elements automatically uploads your photos, and you see them in the EasyShare wizard, which walks you through creating and ordering cards. You need to set up an EasyShare account the first time you use the service. Setting up an account and using Easy-Share are explained on Ordering Prints.

You can also create calendars with EasyShare. Before you start, you must select 12 photos in the Organizer. Then go to Create → Photo Calendar, and Elements whisks you off to EasyShare. You can access the Photo Calendar menu choice from either the Organizer or the Editor, but it's the photos you've selected in the Organizer that get uploaded. If you select fewer than 12 photos, the EasyShare wizard nags you to add more, and you don't have the option of using the same photo for each month. (Elements 6 doesn't include templates for creating calendars to print at home or take to your local print shop.)
