The method and system allow a user to launch a client application on an web-enabled device and subsequently to navigate to an image source screen within the client application. After receiving an image source selection from the user, the client application retrieves images from the selected image source. The client application displays the retrieved images available for printing to a user, and in response to receiving a selection of an image, the client application transmits the image to a proprietary server. Moreover, upon receiving print order information, the client application additionally executes a location awareness application that determines a current location of the web-enabled device and subsequently, determines a proximal retail store to the current location of the web-enabled device. Thereafter, the remote printing system creates and transmits a print order that includes the selected image to the retail store for pickup.

A web-enabled standalone application may, in selected implementations, prevent received license-controlled image data from unauthorized re-use, editing, or distribution, and permits image processing, such as applying the International Color Consortium's color correction process, at the local control device. The web-enabled standalone application may further generate a printer specific byte stream based on post-image processed data, providing a color managed workflow independent of local control device operating system print drivers.

Improvements to a craft kit that enable receiving a photograph and generating a template of the photograph include components for printing the template on adhesive-backed canvas for mounting to a panel or frame, entering a product code to enable generation of the template, generating the template in color and enabling the colored template to be printed or submitted for production of a piece of artwork. Further improvements include enabling the user to select one or more themes for use in generating the template wherein the template is then generated with at least one shape associated with theme, enabling the user to select one or more particular shapes for incorporation into the template, and generating the template with one or more images associated with an organization, such as a logo, a character, or a caricature.
