A major gap I see in the integration of Picasa Web and Google+ is the lack of per-photo permissions, or at least the ability to easily create albums from existing ones without duplicating the photos. I've been using Picasa Web to back up photos by syncing it with the desktop Picasa application. But not all photos that one may want to back up are of adequate quality to publicly share in the same album. This means that instead of just being able to select which photos in a folder are public and which are private, Picasa users will still have to create new albums and reupload all the photos they explicitly want to share. This makes photo sharing on Google+ no less tedious than on Facebook -- when it had the potential to be much, much easier.
