Aftershoot

Automates photo culling and editing for professional photographers using AI

Aftershoot is an AI-assisted culling and editing software designed for professional photographers to streamline their post-processing workflow. It does that by automating the time-consuming tasks of sorting through hundreds or thousands of photos to pick the best ones (culling) and editing them to match the photographer’s style.

The AI algorithms can group similar photos together, identify the best shots, and apply editing adjustments like cropping, straightening, exposure, and color balance. This not only reduces the amount of time photographers spend on post-processing but also allows them to train the AI to learn and replicate their unique editing styles.

Aftershoot supports importing RAW and JPEG formats and operates locally on the computer without requiring an internet connection for culling and editing. It offers a flat-rate pricing model regardless of the number of images processed, making it economically viable for professionals dealing with high volumes of work.

Ultimately, Aftershoot aims to save photographers’ time by automating tedious aspects of their workflow, enabling them to focus more on their creative work, improving their service delivery speeds, and maintaining (or enhancing) the quality of their photographs.
