If you're not afraid of working in a CLI, ImageMagick is also a very solid tool for editing lots and lots of images in bulk as long as you know what you want done to them.
yeah ImageMagick is solid, especially when the edits are very consistent
I think where I struggled was when the set is mostly similar but still needs small per photo tweaks
writing new commands or rerunning pipeline for small changes felt a bit heavy
I wanted something more interactive where I can adjust visually, apply to many, then still tweak few without starting over
