I use all three of the above successfully. That's the latest of each part. It all works just tickety boo. I use an Airport Extreme disk to store all my photos, which seems to be working just fine. The piece of my workflow I don't currently like is the bit getting images from the camera into Lightroom. Lightroom can do it, but it seems very slow, I used to use Image Capture (which I loved for it's simplicity) but that does work in the new version of Leopard (I get a 'This application can not be used with this version of Leopard' message) and i really don't want to use iPhoto as a go between. Any ideas would be welcome :-)

Lightroom's SDK is really very good, indeed much of the funcitonality offered by PictureSync such as remembering uploads and updating is now implementable directly in plug-ins (the example Flickr plug-in can replace prior uploads). This provides a fairly good integrated environment for working with your photos both locally and online—PictureSync isn't going to try competing with this and with respect to Lightroom functionality will focus on its metadata mapping/rules functionalities. I'm sure it'll only be days before more fully featured plug-ins are released by willing devs…
