What is Aftershoot?

Aftershoot is known as one of the top AI culling apps on the market and is the industry’s most positively reviewed AI culling and editing software for photographers on Trustpilot.

In March 2023, Aftershoot released its new AI editing product, EDITS in free public beta, meaning photographers can try it out for free for a limited time. More on that later in this article.

Aftershoot EDITS is a standalone product, but it works in synergy with Aftershoot CULL, so you can cull and edit your photos all in one app that works offline on macOS and Windows.

Aftershoot’s AI-powered software (which they call their magical unicorns) takes care of the tedious post-shoot processes for photographers, giving them more time to get creative, focus on their business, or do whatever makes them happy.

Let’s dive a little deeper into Aftershoot’s products and features and find out how they benefit photographers.

Aftershoot CULL

CULL is Aftershoot’s state-of-the-art culling product. This software automates the most tedious part of a photographer’s workflow: selecting the best images after a shoot.

Simply import your images into Aftershoot and let it cull for you. The AI reviews thousands of photos in a matter of minutes, highlighting only the best ones for review.

With just the click of a button, CULL will automatically:

  • Group duplicates
  • Sort unwanted photos with blinks and closed eyes
  • Assess images for happy faces and emotional moments, and ignore ones where people are talking or have weird faces
  • Pull out the images that show the best composition out of each set

With Spray Can mode, a simple left or right mouse click will select your favorite images to edit or tag the ones you don’t need to see again.

Best of all, this process is entirely customizable, so you can fine-tune it to fit your style.

Aftershoot CULL works completely offline, so you can run it from anywhere in the world – even while sipping a cocktail on a beach! 

Aftershoot is integrated with Lightroom and Capture One for easy one-click export. They are working on adding more integrations soon.

Once you’re done culling with Aftershoot, you can move on to letting the AI edit your photos in your unique style.

Aftershoot EDITS

Using advanced Al technology, Aftershoot EDITS analyzes your Lightroom Catalog(s), learning from your editing patterns to create a personalized Al Profile.

Once your AI Profile is ready, Aftershoot EDITS applies your editing style to your unedited photos, making your editing workflow go from hours to just minutes.

It can edit 1,000 photos in less than a minute! And it copies your editing style with 90%+ accuracy.

What is an AI Profile?

Think of your AI Profile as your personal editing diary. It holds all the information about how you go about editing your photos.

You can have up to 5 different AI Profiles for each of your shooting styles or different photographic contexts, such as weddings, portraits, etc.

Simply upload your previously edited photos from your Lightroom Catalog to train your AI Profile. Aftershoot recommends uploading 5,000+ edited images for optimal training results.

Note: This is the only time you’ll need an internet connection. After uploading from Lightroom, you can use Aftershoot EDITS while offline.

Your AI Profile analyzes your editing style and learns from it in order to replicate your editing preferences when you run the editor on new, unedited images.

Aftershoot EDITS will automatically crop and straighten your images and adjust for:

  • White balance
  • Tones
  • Vibrance
  • Saturation
  • Exposure
  • HSL
  • Highlights
  • Shadows

You can take a closer look at how EDITS works in this video:

The great news is if you’re not entirely satisfied with the edits it produces, you still have full control to make any further adjustments.

And as an added bonus, your AI Profile will keep learning from any further adjustments you make, meaning it will only become more accurate the more you use it.

No more hours spent on the most tedious part of your photography workflow! With Aftershoot, you can focus on the creative aspects of your business or spend more time with your loved ones.

Following the announcement of its private beta release earlier this year, Aftershoot EDITS is now available to all Aftershoot users FREE of charge for a limited time.

Aftershoot will reveal the pricing plan soon but promises to keep it structured the same as CULL: a fixed monthly/yearly fee with unlimited images – yay, no pay-per-image!
