Photonic: Easy Flickr for Mac Users
Most web workers I’ve met host photos at Flickr – ranging from a few to thousands. If you’re a heavy Flickr user and you’re using a Mac, you should take a look at the just-released Photonic, a desktop Flickr client. Photonic gives you an easy interface to explore your own photos, as well as those of your contacts, groups, favorites, and searches. It’s also got a nice uploader built into it, which I personally find much easier to use than the default Flickr online uploading page, even after the recent revisions there.
Photonic isn’t free: it’s $20 to register after the trial period. But I’m sure I’ll save $20 worth of my time by using it, and perhaps you will too.

Just a note: Photonic requires Leopard (OS X 10.5).
I might be blind, but … link?
Good heavens, WordPress ate the link. Naughty blog. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out, tinfoil; it’s at http://www.photonicapp.com/ .
No need to spend you cash. Last month, Flickr released a client for Mac and Windows that is a huge improvement over the previous version.
