Aftershoot announced on Tuesday (26) the launch of Instant AI Profiles, a groundbreaking feature that allows photographers to transform their Lightroom presets into adaptive AI-powered editing profiles in less than 60 seconds. The tool makes AI editing accessible from day one – simply transform your own presets into consistent, personalized edits.
Creating a Professional AI Profile requires a large and consistent editing library, but many photographers rely on Lightroom presets that still require manual adjustments. Instant AI Profiles transform these presets into a smarter, more scalable AI-powered workflow.
Instant AI Profiles: Key Benefits
- Smarter than just presets – intelligently applies your style per image with context, adapting to lighting, camera, and scene.
- No uploads required – Create an AI profile in minutes, without having to upload any photos.
- Consistent, on-brand results – Delivers a signature look at scale from day one.
- Room to grow – Start with instant AI profiles, then easily upgrade to professional AI profiles for maximum accuracy as you edit more.
“With AI Instant Profiles, we’re eliminating the wait time that arises due to photographers lacking training data sets to provide from the start,” said Justin Benson, co-founder of Aftershoot. “In just one minute, photographers can see their look intelligently applied in a gallery. It’s the fastest way to go from pre-set edits to adaptive edits, while also opening the door to future growth with AI Pro Profiles,” Benson added.
Harshit Dwivedi, founder and CEO of Aftershoot, adds: “We created profiles to make AI-powered editing accessible to more photographers. Until now, creating a custom AI-powered profile required Lightroom Classic catalogs with at least 2,500 edited photos, leaving many photographers reliant on off-the-shelf profiles that didn't always reflect their style. With AI Instant Profiles, photographers can transform their own presets into adaptive editing styles—better than the presets themselves and tailored to their look.”
Unlike Lightroom presets, which apply a fixed look to every photo, AI Instant Profiles dynamically apply your style, adjusting for lighting, camera model, and scene context to deliver smarter, 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 “Generate Profile” and your AI Profile will be ready to use across all galleries.
