Seems every year I'm doomed to repeat the same search for the ICC profiles for my Epson Stylus PHOTO R300. The profiles are included in the P.I.M. II Plug-in that comes with the printer and is downloadable from Epson's site. Unfortunately the installer refuses to install if it cannot find Photoshop 6.0/7.0/CS. I happen to be running Photoshop CS2 and the installer isn't quite smart enough to figure that out.

Enter Epson Europe! They are kind enough to make the ICC profiles directly downloadable for Windows XP (though the profiles will work fine with Windows Vista.) So if you're using the R300 with Epson papers, grab 'em and get going.

Here's how to incorporate the Flickr Uploadr into your Adobe Lightroom workflow on Windows Vista and Window XP when exporting your images.

1. Install the Flickr Uploadr from Flickr's Tools site
   
2. Create a shortcut to the Flickr Uploadr (C:\Program Files\Flickr Uploadr\Flickr Uploadr.exe) in your C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Actions folder
1. Windows XP users should create the shortcut in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Actions
3. Select the desired images in Lightroom and choose File|Export... (Ctrl+Shift+E)

In the Export dialog, scroll down to the Post-processing section and in the After Export drop down, choose Flickr Uploadr:

Click on Export and when Lightroom has finished, all of your exported photos are loaded into a single batch inside of Flickr Uploadr and you're ready to upload!
