Aftershoot handles the repetitive parts of a photographer’s workflow after a shoot: Select culls a shoot by grouping duplicates and detecting key faces to surface the best frames, Edit applies AI-driven cropping, straightening and masking along with a marketplace of preset styles, and Retouch handles portrait retouching, blemish and background cleanup, and batch syncing across a whole gallery. A Personal AI Profile trains on a photographer’s own past edits so new work matches their established style rather than a generic preset, and the platform exports directly into Lightroom, Capture One, Lightroom Classic, Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw. The site cites a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 1,700+ Trustpilot reviews and says it is used by 100,000+ photographers.
AI culling and retouching still need a final human pass, since an automated key-face or duplicate-detection score can occasionally pick a technically sharp frame over one with the better expression, and automated retouching of skin, background or objects should be spot-checked on hero images before delivery to a client. The company’s own return-on-investment framing, comparing hours saved against an hourly rate, is a useful way to think about the cost but is built on assumptions about how much time a given photographer would otherwise spend, not a guaranteed outcome.
Individual modules are billed annually: Select is $10 a month, Edit is $30 a month and Retouch is $20 a month. Complete, the most popular option bundling all three, is $45 a month billed annually against a $60 monthly-billing rate, described as saving $180 a year over buying the modules separately. Every plan includes a free 30-day trial, and annual plans can be paused for up to 3 months.
