About online print services
Register with an online print service to order prints, photo books, and greeting cards. There is no fee to join the services. However, you require a credit card number to place an order.
The online print services available to you depend on your location. For example, online ordering services differ between North America and Asia. The Online menu reflects what’s available in your area and dynamically changes when new services become available.
(Mac OS) Elements Organizer uses Photoshop Elements for printing and creations.

Photo calendars
For photo calendars, the online print service web page walks you through the process of preparing printed calendars. The online print service web page then allows you to specify the number of each item, and specify where to send the ordered items. If you choose not to immediately order a calendar, you can save it on the online print service web server and order at another time.
Photo calendars are created and ordered using the Adobe® Photoshop® Services website. Register with this service to order bound calendars using a valid email address. There is no charge to join this service, but you must have a credit card number to place an order.
Elements Organizer launches Photoshop Elements using which you can create a photo calendar. Ensure that you have Photoshop Elements installed before using this feature.
