CREATING SOCIAL PRINTS FROM PHOTOGRAPHS MAINTAINED BY A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM

摘要

A social networking system user may request physical prints of digital photographs stored in connection with the user's user profile on the social networking system. The physical prints are generated by a photograph developer, such as a retail store, and retrieved by the user. The user may request the physical prints from an application executing on a user device that allows the user to identify social context information associated with a digital photograph for inclusion on the physical print. The social networking system may notify users connected to the user and/or to the digital image of the physical print generation.
