🚀 Power-Up Your SmugMug Mobile Workflow with the updated SmugMug iOS App, now with Apple Shortcuts!

Hey photographers, if you’re looking to save time and automate your SmugMug mobile upload process, I’ve got a lil' something for you. 🤖

In my latest video, I demonstrate two Apple Shortcuts that will make your SmugMug mobile workflow faster and more efficient:

1. Quick SmugMug Upload – Instantly select your latest photo, automatically apply a quick edit or preset, and upload it to a designated gallery.

2. Smart SmugMug Upload – Choose multiple photos, make edits, upload, and get a voice confirmation when the job’s done.

It's like having J.A.R.V.I.S. in your camera bag. 🤖

Whether you’re working with a single shot, or batch uploading from your phone, these shortcuts are game changers — or at the very least, time savers.
