LONDON - Online photo service Photobox has launched an application on Facebook that enables users to share and print photos from their Facebook profiles and upload Photobox albums to the social networking site for friends to access.

Following Photobox's site overhaul in June, the new Super Photos application is the first such partnership, developed with Nudge Social Media, meaning that Facebook photos need no longer be confined to the web.

The Super Photos application is currently in beta testing.

Users can upload their photos to Photobox and to Facebook so they can order prints. The application also allows users to export pre-existing Facebook albums to Photobox, and to send web-sized copies of their Photobox albums to Facebook.

Users can access their own albums, as well as photos belonging to their Facebook friends. When users create Super Photos albums, they have the option to grant permission for all of their Facebook friends to create them into prints or gifts.
