I process a lot of RAW files and only would like certain pictures to be available to photo stream. Other projects I would not want on photo stream at all.
I wish Apple will let us delete individual photos permanently from photo stream - I predict some sort of action against Apple from privacy advocates. (EDIT) - Since I posted this, I figured out that there is an option to delete the entire photo stream using the iCloud website. It still would be nice to delete individual photos though.
Lets hope for Aperture X this year!
