Cons of Manual Editing
- Takes hours for a single session's worth of photos.
- Hard to maintain consistency across posts.
Presets like the New Year Fitness collection shine here: consistent warm tones, quick application, and easy tweaks. They're the perfect starting point for stronger, more engaging content.
