Aftershoot has been a game-changer for me. With 20 weddings and 100’s of sessions this year, it’s given me my work/life balance back. It’s given me extra time for my family, and I’m so thankful. I love going through and making sure each photo is the way I’d like it, but Aftershoot is like my very reliable assistant that takes care of 70% of my workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI Culling?

AI Culling uses artificial intelligence to analyze your photos, identify the best ones, and keep the duplicates or poor-quality images separately, saving you time and effort in choosing the right image.

What is AI-assisted culling?

AI-assisted culling takes the pain out of sorting through thousands of photos. Aftershoot's intelligent algorithm analyzes your images, grouping similar shots together and identifying potential duplicates. This helps you quickly identify the best images from a shoot, saving you valuable time and effort. You can use AI-assited culling for free even after your trial ends.

AI culling vs AI-assisted culling, what to choose?

To determine which option is right for you, it's helpful to understand the nuances of each approach. AI culling typically involves a more automated process where the AI makes the majority of the culling decisions based on its training and predefined preferences. AI-assisted culling, on the other hand, provides more user control, allowing you to guide the AI and make the final selections. Aftershoot offers a flexible framework for both approaches, allowing you to tailor the culling process to your specific needs and preferences.
