Yahoo said yesterday it has launched an Internet photo service, in partnership with Target Corp. that will enable customers to order prints of their digital pictures and then pick them up at their local Target store.

The service is to be available this fall.

The site, Target Yahoo Photos (http://www.target.com/yahoophotos), extends Yahoo's existing
online photo site.

The new site gives consumers unlimited photo storage and tools for sharing pictures via e-mail and other means. Users will have the option of picking up their photos, printing them at home or having them delivered by mail.

Some 1.3 billion pictures were transmitted, or "uploaded," to online photo sites from personal computers in 2004. Leading sites include Eastman Kodak, Ofoto service, privately held Shutterfly and Snapfish, which was recently bought by printer and computer maker Hewlett-Packard.

Ofoto, Shutterfly, Snapfish and other online photo developing services mail photos to their customers. Research firm IDC predicts that the so-called Internet-to-retail market is going to double to about $1 billion in 2008.

In Internet-to-retail, users upload pictures to Web sites run by such companies as Wal-Mart or Ritz Cameras, which are both powered by Kodak rival Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd.

Elsewhere, Google's Picasa photo site allows users to send or order prints from a variety of providers including Snapfish and Wal-Mart.
