Aftershoot

Aftershoot is an AI-powered post-production platform built for professional photographers. It handles the three most time-consuming parts of the post-shoot workflow — culling, editing, and retouching — in a single desktop application that runs entirely offline. A 2,000-photo wedding gallery can be culled to final selects and base-edited in roughly 20 minutes on a modern laptop.

AI Culling (Selects): Groups similar frames, identifies focus, exposure, and expression quality, and flags the best shot from each burst. Learns your culling preferences over time. Two modes: AI Automated (hands-off) and AI Assisted (you stay in control). Survey Mode and a one-click Spray Can for fast review and overrides.

AI Editing: Train the model on your existing Lightroom or Capture One presets, or choose from 30+ pre-built styles by professional photographers. Applies your signature look consistently across every image. Built-in RAW editor for fine-tuning without leaving the app.

AI Retouching: Per-image adjustments synced across the album in one pass — skin smoothing, stray hair removal, glasses glare reduction, background cleanup. Presets adapt to each photo's unique lighting and exposure.

Client Galleries: Branded galleries with Face Detection, a built-in print store, and proofing tools. Currently free with 100 GB storage included.

Pricing (billed annually): Selects only $9.99/month · Selects + Edits $19.99/month · Pro (custom AI profile) $39.99/month · Max (5 profiles, 2 devices) $59.99/month. All plans are flat-fee with no per-image charges. 30-day full-access free trial, no credit card required.

Pros: Flat monthly fee, no per-image billing surprises · Learns your specific editing style; gets more accurate with each album · Fully offline — RAW files never leave your machine · Full post-shoot stack in one app · 30-day free trial, no card needed

Cons: Post-processing only — no pricing, booking, or contract tools · First few albums need correction passes before style training is accurate · Requires a reasonably modern desktop or laptop for fast processing
