Our verdict on Aftershoot
Aftershoot is desktop software for photographers and studios handling high-volume shoots, including weddings, portraits, and events. It brings AI-assisted culling, batch editing, RAW editing, portrait retouching, resizing, renaming, watermarking, export, and client gallery delivery into one post-production workflow. Its culling tools detect duplicates, blur, closed eyes, and exposure issues, while learned editing profiles or presets can be applied across albums. The product supports RAW and JPEG images and runs on Windows and macOS.
The published plans divide the workflow into focused subscriptions. Select costs $10 per month with annual billing or $15 per month with monthly billing and includes unlimited AI culling. Edit costs $30 per month annually or $35 monthly and adds unlimited AI editing and RAW editing. Retouch costs $20 per month annually or $25 monthly, with AI portrait retouching, custom retouching presets, and batch sync. Select + Edit costs $40 per month annually or $50 monthly and includes AI culling and AI editing. A 30-day trial is available, while the product does not have a free plan.
Workflow fit is a central strength. Aftershoot can export JPEG, RAW, or TIFF files and integrates with Adobe Lightroom Classic, Capture One, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Bridge. It also connects with WHCC, Bay Photo, and Atkins Pro Labs, while client galleries support proofing and print sales. The breadth suits photographers who want automated processing across large albums rather than a narrow single-purpose utility. Choose it for AI-assisted batch production and integrated delivery; consider another option if you need a free plan, a web-based product, or one subscription tier that includes every listed capability.
