One of the sleeper improvements made in the recent Lightroom 1.3 release is the introduction of a beta export SDK. That is, developers can now hook their tools into Lightroom’s export pipeline. Jeffrey Friedl has leveraged the SDK and is now sharing upload plug-ins for Flickr, SmugMug, and Zenfolio. I haven’t gotten to try these out yet myself, but I’m excited to see developers stepping up to provide some much-requested capabilities. [Via]
On a related note, PixelNovel’s FlickrShop plug-in enables uploading from Photoshop to Flickr.
Here’s a small modification I made to the SmugMug plug-in:

if you like it, let Jeffery know so he can make something like it in the next version.
