AI-powered photo culling that learns your preferences

infoOverview

Aftershoot is the tool that wedding photographers didn't know they needed until they tried it. Feed it 3,000 images from a wedding, and it sorts keepers from rejects in minutes based on technical quality and — here's the magic — your personal selection preferences. The more you use it, the better it gets. The AI editing profiles are a nice bonus, but the culling is the killer feature. If you shoot 2,000+ images per event and spend hours culling, the subscription pays for itself on the first job.

Aftershoot now covers the full post-processing chain in one app: culling (Select), RAW editing, retouching, and client delivery via the new Aftershoot Galleries. The RAW editor handles batch processing, masking, denoising, HSL, object removal, and exports JPEGs or TIFFs without leaving the platform. Aftershoot Galleries ships with 100 GB free storage, built-in proofing, face filtering, branded galleries, and print sales through WHCC, Bay Photo, and Atkins Pro Labs.

Aftershoot Adds Client Galleries, Now Covers Full Delivery Pipeline
via SLR Lounge
Aftershoot has shipped its largest update to date, adding a client gallery and print sales platform alongside updates to culling and editing. The culling engine now separates true burst duplicates from intentional compositional variations, with Aftershoot claiming around 20% tighter selects as a result. Photographers currently running Aftershoot alongside a separate gallery platform like Pixieset or Pic-Time now have a consolidated alternative.
