Q: Printing iCloud photo albums using Lightroom/Blurb

I have several iCloud photo albums that I would like to print into photo albums. I would ideally like to use Lightroom/Blurb. What is the best way to do this and get maximum resolution? I uploaded them using Lightroom mobile but they look low res.

iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    Download full resolution copies to your Mac first and build your album from those files.

    How about iCloud album on iPhone to Lightroom mobile? Then you can access them on your Lightroom and make photo album, would that be a bad option? Would they loose resolution?  Is there a difference in resolution from the photos in iPhone camera roll vs. on shared album? In the shared albums I have saved my favorites so I have the best ones but don't want to have tiny printouts. Is there an app that can print album directly from iPhone, like Artkive does for art? Maybe use Artkive app for photos?? Thoughts??  I have thousands of pictures 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, so a shortcut would be great. Thank you.

    I am a wedding photographer, so agree with your desire for quality.

     

    Even if there was an app to make albums on your phone, I would advise against it. As great as iPhones are, they are not the "right" tool to be used for something like that. IMO of course. I could be wrong!
