Aftershoot announced on Tuesday (26) the launch of Instant AI Profiles, an innovative feature that allows photographers to turn their Lightroom presets into adaptable editing profiles with AI technology in under 60 seconds. The tool makes AI editing accessible from day one – just turn your own presets into consistent and personalized edits.
Creating a Professional AI Profile requires a large and consistent editing library, but many photographers rely on Lightroom presets that still need manual adjustments; Instant AI Profiles transforms these presets into a smarter and more scalable workflow with AI technology.
Instant AI Profiles: Key Benefits
- Smarter than just presets – intelligently applies your style image by image with context, adapting to lighting, camera, and scene.
- No need for uploads – Creates an AI profile in minutes without having to upload any photos.
- Consistent results with your brand – Provides a distinctive look at scale from day one.
- Room to grow – Start with Instant AI Profiles and then easily upgrade to Professional AI profiles for maximum accuracy as you edit more.
“With AI Instant Profiles, we are eliminating the waiting time that arises due to the lack of training data sets that photographers can provide from the start,” said Justin Benson, co-founder of Aftershoot. “In just a minute, photographers can see their look intelligently applied in a gallery. It’s the fastest way to go from preset edits to adaptive edits while opening the doors for future growth with AI Pro Profiles,” Benson adds.
Harshit Dwivedi, founder and CEO of Aftershoot, further comments: “We created the profiles to make AI editing accessible to more photographers. Previously, creating a profile with custom artificial intelligence required Lightroom Classic catalogs with at least 2,500 edited photos, which left many dependent on market profiles that didn’t always reflect their style. With AI Instant Profiles, photographers can turn their own presets into adaptable editing styles ‒ better than presets themselves and customized for their look.”
Unlike Lightroom presets, which apply a fixed look to all photos, AI Instant Profiles dynamically apply your style, adjusting the lighting, camera model, and scene context to offer smarter and more personalized edits. This means fewer manual corrections and more consistency from the start.
How this feature works
Creating an instant AI profile takes just a few minutes:
- Upload your own Lightroom preset (.xmp).
- Customize your AI profile with a simple three-step visual guide, adjusting exposure, temperature, and tint to your style.
- Click on “Generate Profile” and your AI Profile will be ready for use across all galleries.
