Cons	Automated culling and retouching still need a final human check The full Complete bundle costs more than a single module alone Time-saved and ROI figures are illustrative estimates, not guarantees	Per-photo pricing can add up fast for photographers shooting high-volume events Built specifically around Lightroom Classic, less useful for photographers on other editors AI-applied style still needs spot-checking on tricky lighting or mixed-shoot conditions
