Lightroom integration for photo export

[erik-sutton95]

Hand photos (and maybe stills pulled from video) to Adobe Lightroom without a full Adobe SDK integration on day one.

There is no Lightroom / Camera Raw / DNG path in the repo. Closest relatives: Photos library add, Files share, Frame.io C2C.

Operator problem

Stills from Pocket / Nano should land in LrC or Lightroom mobile with color tagged (D-Log / D-Log M vs Rec.709) so they are not auto-interpreted as sRGB junk.

Workstreams

1. Document the path that already works

• Save to Photos / Files → Lightroom import
• Say clearly: camera originals are HEVC/JPEG/DNG-or-not as the body writes them; OPC does not invent DNG

2. Export Rec.709 + sidecar (useful)

• Optional “Lightroom” share: Rec.709 bake or log original
• Sidecar with color mode, LUT name, Kelvin/tint, ISO, lens — JSON or XMP subset
• Do not require Adobe Creative SDK for this

3. Lightroom mobile / LrC deep link (later)

• Investigate lightroom:// / share extension vs “save to a watched folder”
• Explicit non-goal until stills export is boring: full catalog sync, Adobe login inside OPC

Out of scope

• Becoming a raw converter
• Writing into an LrC catalog SQLite file
• Shipping Adobe LUTs

Done when

Photo export has a documented Lightroom-friendly path (Photos/Files + optional Rec.709 + sidecar). Deep link is either proven or deferred.
