Photography news, before it happens

Aftershoot launched its early Black Friday sale: the first 500 photographers can grab an annual plan and get 25% off; then the discount drops to 20%. You can also try using coupon codes BLACKFRIDAY26 and RUMORS for additional savings. That’s the lowest price of the year. If Aftershoot doesn’t work for you, you can claim a full refund within 30 days.

Aftershoot is an AI-powered desktop software (for Mac and Windows) designed for professional photographers, especially those shooting high-volume work like weddings, events, portraits, and schools, that streamlines the entire post-production workflow in one app. It uses AI to automatically or assistively cull images by scoring them on factors like sharpness, exposure, composition, facial expressions, closed eyes, and duplicates (grouping bursts intelligently and learning your preferences over time), then applies consistent edits that can match your personal style (via training on your past work or pre-built profiles) with full RAW controls, and handles natural retouching such as skin smoothing, blemish removal, object cleanup, flyaway hair, and glasses glare. The platform also supports client galleries for proofing, delivery, and print sales, all while running offline/locally for privacy with unlimited images and flat pricing (no per-image fees), helping photographers reclaim significant time—often reducing hours of manual culling and editing to minutes.
