Developer halves AI image generation costs by implementing tracking ledger

A developer significantly reduced their AI image generation costs without changing models or prompts. The primary solution was implementing a simple text file ledger to track generated assets, preventing duplicate renders. They also adopted a two-step rendering process, first generating low-resolution previews before committing to full-resolution renders. Additionally, automated metadata scripts were created to avoid rejections from stock platforms due to incorrect file headers.
