    In many ways, this could be very useful. Then again, the images I upload to Flickr are generally low quality. While I always use the highest quality possible for Photobox.

    Maybe I'll have to then increase quality uploaded to flickr.

    It -is- annoying though. I routinely use photobox for all my printing. Unfortunately all my flickr stuff is at 2048 on the long axis, so barely enough for a 7"x5" print. Every couple of months I re-process all my raw scans (at 5000x4000) and upload them to photobox so I can print them (and with the little babby, inform the family so they can ooo and ahhh and print stuff out themselves, saves me a fortune !).

    I always upload the high quality jpg's to flickr. I see it as another kind
    of backup to my photos.

    I don't backup my jpgs, just my raw files, and I back them up to 2 external disks.

    The images on my flickr are 1200 px (largest side) at 72 ppi. So, low quality, and I doubt good enough for any decent prints.

    I might just stick to using Flickr to display images online, and then upload directly to Photobox for prints.

    My flickr images are 800px and us SRGB, but I could always upload high res images & keep them hidden, I suppose.

    Photobox converts everything into sRGB for printing anyway, so that's not an issue.

    if you have a pro account with flickr that should be no problem...
