Do it once, not forty times
Get one image looking right, then put that same look on every other shot from the day and save them all to a folder in one go. The tedious part of a folder of holiday images, handled.
One look, across the whole set.
An image editor for your Mac. Make one image look right - then make the other forty match it, in one go.
Apple checks every release before it reaches you. Less than 5 MB to download.

Film, Cinema, Faded, Golden, Miniature, Poster. Each one is shown as a small version of your own image, so you can see what it does before you choose. Too strong? Pull it back with one slider.
Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows. Warmth and colour. Tone curves. Grain, glow and vignette. And a colour mixer that lets you take one colour at a time - deepen the sky without touching the skin.
Drop a light on a face, pull a gradient across a washed-out sky, or brush the effect exactly where you want it. Each one has its own brightness, warmth and softness, and lifts off again with a click.
Crop to a free shape or a familiar aspect ratio, straighten the horizon, flip the image, or add canvas around it when cutting something away is the wrong answer.
Compare before and after while you work, zoom into detail and move through the images in the set without losing the adjustments already made.
Choose JPEG, PNG, HEIC or 16-bit TIFF, control quality and long-edge size, and decide whether metadata stays, loses its location, or is removed entirely.
Edit reads your files and your Photos library - it never writes back to them. Whatever you do, the original is still there. You export a new image when you're happy, and not before.
Save a set of images and the work you did on them under a name, and open it again next week. The same image can be in two of them - black and white in one, colour in the other - because Edit stores your edits, not copies of your images.
