Brazilian photographers can work faster and focus more on their interests with the arrival of a new tool that makes post-editing images in the country easier. The Aftershoot, a powerful all-in-one tool developed to streamline photographers’ workflow, arrives with its image selection, editing, and retouching features in the Brazilian market.
Founded in 2020 by Harshit Dwivedi, with extensive experience in software development, and Justin Benson, a professional photographer, the duo created the software to address common challenges faced in their daily work, such as managing large volumes of photos and the need for tools to assist in post-production workflows, as well as helping photographers make better use of their time.
The tool simplifies time-consuming post-editing functions – saving on average over 120 hours (three full weeks of work) per year, allowing photographers to focus on what they love most – creating, spending more time away from screens, or even investing in their businesses. Aftershoot has three main post-editing modules: AI Culling, for intelligent selection, AI Editing, for more consistent editing, and AI Retouching, which will be released soon.
The AI Culling mode helps photographers significantly speed up the selection process, saving time and protecting them from burnout. This mode identifies the best images based on composition, focus, and other technical parameters. The AI groups duplicate images, detects blurry images and closed eyes, and rates photos on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Two selection modes are available: AI Culling and AI-assisted Culling.
As for the AI Edits mode, it learns the photographer’s style for custom edits or uses pre-built AI styles to maintain consistency across sessions. Photographers can create a personal AI profile by training the tool on their edited images to reflect a unique style. The AI requires a minimum of 2,500 edited images from a Lightroom catalog to create a profile based on the photographer’s unique style, which is also necessary to achieve the best and most accurate results.
Photographers can also explore a variety of pre-created AI Styles, crafted by renowned photographers, to find the ideal editing style for their work. These pre-built styles are useful for those who have not trained their own profile or are exploring new creative directions. AI Styles can be adjusted to meet individual preferences, combining AI efficiency with creative control.
Next year, AI Retouching will also be available, a new mode designed to empower photographers in dealing with the mundane part of post-processing retouching routines using advanced AI technologies.
