How to Export your Photos to Flickr using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
If you’re a Flickr user, you were probably frustrated not to be able to use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to export your photos. Aperture users could already use the Flickr plug-in for Aperture or even iPhoto with Flickr Export.
But here is a little hack that allows you to use Flickr Uploadr with Lightroom!
First, you need to create an alias for the Flickr Uploadr application (select the App then right click > Make Alias).
Then you need to locate the “Export Actions” folder, which is in your Home/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/
Once the alias moved into this folder, all you need to do is to select “Flickr Uploadr” in the Post Processing options tab from the “Export Photos” dialog box and voil?†…
One advantage is to perform batch actions in LR (like resize for example) and upload the batch straight to Flickr. Another big advantage is that Flickr will display the IPTC tags added in LR!!

Very nice trick. Had no idea about this one. But again, I’m not a Flickr “power user”. Nonetheless, seems to be extremely useful as more and more photographers switch to Lightroom.
