New AI Software Can Cull, Edit, And Color Grade Your Photos

Education

Introduction

Once again, we're diving into the world of AI-powered photo editing software with a look at Aftershoot. About a year ago, this tool was already quite impressive, but it has since received massive updates that significantly enhance its features. Not only does it edit photos, but it also culls your images for you. Imagine shooting 2,000 images at a wedding, and this software automatically selects the best ones for you. It may sound too good to be true, but the program's ability to categorize and allow you to override any decisions makes it trustworthy and user-friendly.

Key Updates and Features

  • Photo Styles Marketplace: The Marketplace feature on Aftershoot offers a variety of different photo styles created by Aftershoot itself or by different photographers. Some styles are free, while others cost money, and you can test them out on up to 500 images for free.
  • Culling: The software can go through hundreds of images in minutes, automatically selecting and categorizing them. Options include flagging blurry images, closed eyes, and duplicates, ensuring you get the best shots.
  • Editing: The new update greatly improves the editing portion. Previously, photographers had to train the software with Lightroom catalogs, but now there's an automatic setting that promises excellent results.
  • Automatic Adjustments: New features include automatic cropping, straightening, and masking. The software can automatically cut out subjects, making small changes to the foreground and background to make the subjects pop.
  • Performance: The updated Aftershoot promises to significantly improve exposure and white balance adjustments, especially useful for varying lighting conditions like indoor and outdoor shots.

How It Works

  1. Import Images: Start by uploading your images. For example, if you recently did a family photo shoot, you could import all 627 raw files.
  2. Culling: Click on "Cull," select the type of photo shoot, choose how many images you want the AI to select, and start the process. The software categorizes and rates images, highlighting the best ones for you.
  3. Review Culling: You can manually review and override any of the software’s choices if necessary.
  4. Edit Images: Choose an AI profile, whether it's a personal profile you've trained or one from the Marketplace. You can also enable automatic cropping, straightening, and masking.
  5. Export and Review: Export the edited images to your chosen photo editing software for final touches.

Real-World Testing

Aftershoot's updated version has shown impressive results upon testing. The software does a fantastic job in cropping, exposure, and white balance adjustments, and even handles different lighting conditions efficiently. Every edited shot appears polished and much better than the original.

Community and Free Trial

Also, Aftershoot offers a 30-day free trial, and even if you've tried it before, they are offering another 30-day free trial with this update.
