Also, let me be clear: I could do much of this with a specific Automator
script designed just for this purpose (I think I could even get the specific
edit in there). If so, then I *could* do this exact workflow with one click
or hot key or menu item.

But that is cheating. That is silly. I am talking about doing this with
general GUI work and no special hot keys or scripts made just for this task.
Now, of course, for someone else they might not have "recipes" so that would
be added or they might show saving to "art projects" folder or whatever (as
well as emailing).

But no special scripts made just for this activity... that is silly.
