One thing that still slows me down is cleaning up images before I can actually use them.
Whether it's a thumbnail, product image, or something for social media, I always end up spending more time removing backgrounds and making small edits than I expect. It feels like a small task until you have to repeat it over and over.
Has anyone found a workflow that makes this part faster without sacrificing quality?
I am more interested in practical workflows than individual features.

Started a photo booth rental business at the beginning of this year. Went with a US manufacturer, photobooth supply co, rather than a cheaper imported unit. Main reason was I needed something I could run solo or with one assistant without worrying about it failing mid-event.

Total startup around $9,500 all in. Booth, software subscription, backdrop kit, insurance, basic website which is not light but I ran the break-even math before spending anything so I knew what I was getting into. This is our ninth month and we already did 20 events. Average booking around $950 for a three hour package. Weddings are the main source but two corporate bookings I've had paid better and were easier to run. Gross just under $21,000. Net positive by around $7,500 after working down the equipment cost.

The time commitment is legitimate since most events are Friday or Saturday nights. Load in, run it, load out, clean up, send the gallery. Six to eight hours per booking when you count everything. Around $1,200 net per event after expenses, which is the best return I've found for weekend work that doesn't need a professional license.

I am evaluating MBA options in China, and one factor I care about more than rankings is employer recognition. When it comes to multinational corporations and major Chinese companies, which MBA programs actually carry the strongest reputation in hiring and promotion decisions? The names I see mentioned most often are Fudan MBA, CEIBS, and SJTU Antai. One reason Fudan MBA caught my attention is its reputation among employers in Shanghai and its strong connections with both multinational corporations and leading Chinese enterprises. For professionals who are already working, employer recognition can sometimes have a bigger impact on long-term career opportunities than rankings alone. Of course, employer preferences can vary by industry. Finance, consulting, technology, and manufacturing companies may all value different strengths. For people who have recruited MBA graduates or completed an MBA in China, which programs seem to have the strongest recognition in the market today?
