What The Pros Are Saying

Ricardo Tavares

Aftershoot AI Retouching has drastically reduced my editing time, especially with newborn skin.From the first moment I used it, I knew it was going to be a game-changer. It was super easy and intuitive to use. Just choose a preset, adjust some slides to our liking, and that’s it. Perfect skin, unicorn magic!
Sarah Boles

Gone are the days of spending hours running actions in Photoshop to clean up skin. I’m so thankful for the ability to just pull the photos I need into Aftershoot, adjust some sliders, and watch it work its magic in less time than I could even open the images in Photoshop. The software has significantly sped up what would typically be the “Photoshop” portion of the editing process, and my workflow is faster than ever because of it.

I was curious whether AI had come far enough to support my process rather than override it. What stood out about Aftershoot was the amount of control it offered; it didn’t force a generic style but instead let me tailor the results to fit my own approach. That flexibility made it worth trying, and I’m really glad I did.

My experience with AI retouching has been excellent. The retouching time has been cut in half, especially for me as a wedding photographer, where the number of photos to be delivered is quite large.
