  "summary": "Some photo editing tasks involve repetitive actions such as cropping multiple images to the same ratio. This is where Lightroom is useful, as it allows users to apply the same edits to multiple images. According to XDA Developers, this can include tasks like ensuring photos taken on different days appear to be from the same batch.\n\nA user has created a Claude Code skill that can batch-edit images, which has reduced their need to use Lightroom. The skill utilizes the Claude Haiku 5.5 model, which can be updated to version v2.1.293 or later.\n\nThe Claude Haiku 5.5 model has a context of 1M tokens and automatic compression, with a default effort level of medium. According to Dev.to, it is priced at US$0.10/US$0.50 for up to 100K tokens and US$0.50/US$2.50 for over 100K tokens.",
