The other option is just go out and shoot jpg instead of spending all that time on the computer. Unless you are doing large prints, our old eyes will probably not see the difference
Hey Spike, me too! And proud of it--Old for makin' it and Confused because I'm still tryin'. This is a combination of a vocabulary issue and a units of measure issue. The posts above should help, I know they helped me.
Thanks, ALL,

Thanks. 30 years as a technical writer finally paid off with a compliment!

This post was put together for your situation. All the links are valid even though some of the diagrams / images no longer display automatically within the text. Just click to access. (You'll see what I mean when you see the linked UHH post.) You mention using LR so it would seem you have the the conversion from RAW to JPEG covered.
You mention two issues: how to post to UHH (a digital-only display) and how to create images for publishing.
Regarding UHH, see the explanation in the link below. Specifically, manage the LR export parameters (or any similar software)
to reduce the pixel resolution of the image, and if desired, lower the JPEG quality. You can test the various settings and then create a User Export Preset so you don't have to retest over and over for each new image.
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-512745-1.htmlRegarding a high-resolution image for publication, first review any published requirements from your target customer. Otherwise, do not change the pixel resolution nor the JPEG quality and simply convert from the edited RAW to JPEG. This too you can save as a User Export Preset for quick reuse. If different customers have different technical requirements, create specific User Export Presets for each unique set to parameters.

Thank you CHG_CANON for the above link. This has always been a confusing subject and your link is probably the best explanation I have seen. This is now printed and on the coffee table for review and reference. TNX
I don't know if I'm responding to the right question or not, but in all my interactions with publishers, the first question to be answered is: what format, file size, and resolution do your want? The next question to be answered is: How do you want it? (Bring it to you on a flash drive; mail it to you on a CD; put it up in an online folder somewhere, etc., etc., etc.) In all my past experience, going back to the 80s, if the publisher answers those questions the rest is pretty easy.

Spike, reading your post I was compelled to make some comments. I do not know the age difference between you and me but in my case I am 82 years old and still learning.......
Thank you! Your reply was not intended for me but it could have been. Thank you for the encouragement.
The problem with the people who do the publishing. Of all the people they should know and should specify the minimum size and maximum size acceptable in pixels
