What Aftershoot is
Aftershoot is photo post-processing software for photographers, with tools for culling, editing, and retouching on Windows and macOS. Its culling tools score and group images using factors such as sharpness, exposure, blinks, duplicates, facial expressions, and composition. Editing profiles learn from a photographer’s edited images, and manual adjustments are also available. Retouching provides adjustable subject sliders and presets that can be synced across multiple images. The software supports RAW, JPEG, and TIFF files, as well as bulk renaming and resizing. Its culling workflow integrates with Lightroom Classic and Capture One, preserving ratings, color labels, and flags on export. Aftershoot says it processes images locally and can work offline without cloud uploads or a constant internet connection. New users can try it for 30 days without charge, with no credit card required to start; there is no free plan. Select costs $10.00 per month billed annually ($120/year), or $15/month with monthly billing. Other plans cover editing, retouching, and combinations of its tools.
