My workflow from mobile is about to get super annoying and I'm not happy about it. Because I use Apple's Photos app as my persistent, rendered album effectively, I export everything from Lightroom to that, then upload to my blog when I want to blog things.

Some of these images come out huge (like 50MB) and I don't want those taking up space on Cloudflare R2, so what I'm going to have to do is do two exports: a blog export where things are 2500px, write my blog post, delete those images, then re-export at full-res. That's super annoying, but I really don't want to have to use my laptop to blog again.

I'm also not going to be able to repair my older small-large images. There's 1,400 of them, and sometimes Apple renames them to something weird so there'd be no way to cross-reference them. And even if there was, I don't think I can programmatically ask Lightroom to re-render specific images for me, so I think I'm just going to have to draw a line under all this and start supporting larger images from now. I don't like that.
