You're Editing Photos One at a Time Like a Caveman — Here's How Batch Processing Fixes That
Last month I took on a product photography job that seemed simple enough: retouch 340 product images for an e-commerce client. Same edits on every single one. Resize to 2000x2000px, sharpen, adjust white balance, export as sRGB JPEG at 85% quality. Clean, repetitive, boring work. My first instinct was to just… start doing them. One by one. I got through about 40 images in two hours before I wanted to throw my laptop into a lake.
