Windows 10: Microsoft Photos - how do I edit multiple pictures efficiently?

I used to use Photo Viewer, which has been replaced by Photos.

You used to be able to open one, edit it, then press the little arrow to move to the next in the sequence. The app seems to make you edit, save, close, then open the next picture, which seems wildly inefficient.Also, how do you resize and crop a photo without multiple saves. In the old software, you'd click Edit, clock Crop, crop the picture, click Resi
