I'm one of "those" scrappers... lol.
When I'm done with a layout, I do a couple extra steps. It literally takes 2 seconds.
First, I add a layer on top for lighting. I add layer, fill with black, then with a large soft round brush, add a white to my focal point. Adjust opacity of layer to 10-15%.
Next, I add a photo filter. I usually end up using the 1st warm filter at 15-20% opacity or Sepia at 25% opacity.
Lastly, I made actions that I run. 1st action Flattens, add credits to metadata & saves full sized. Then I run my smaller sized actions, I have one for 600, 700 & 900 due to CT/different store preferences. Those resize, sharpen a smidge & save.
It sounds like A LOT- but it's just part of my work flow & seriously doesn't take much time at all!
