Current Status

The system is now ready for production with dual image support:

• New images: Can be added through the Image Library
• Legacy images: Still work through the original fields
• Templates: Use the new get_image/get_logo properties that automatically fall back

Next Steps (Future Cleanup)

1. Data Migration: Create script to migrate existing images to ImageLibrary
2. Admin Updates: Update admin interfaces to use ImageLibrary selection
3. Template Validation: Add null checks to remaining templates
4. Field Removal: Remove legacy image fields after migration is complete
5. Storage Cleanup: Remove old image files from media directories

• ✅ Proper fallback mechanisms in place

Safety Measures

• ✅ Original image fields preserved
