I don't like it. The photos look either blurry or sharp.

And to make matters worse, they're 'temporarily unable to complete my order,' so I can't even see how crappy it is.

Actually this app is quite buggy: after an upload is at 100%, it often says something like 'you do not have enough permissions...' and nothings gets uploaded.
This is annoying for a 2 hours long upload.

The upload transfer algorithm seems quite inefficient: uses a lot of cpu (70-100% on 2.2Ghz macbook pro), and makes of copy of files prior to upload (in /var/tmp).
