Aftershoot Vs Photo Mechanic

One made sense before AI. The other was built for what’s next.

Photo Mechanic earned its place as a fast, reliable tool - in a pre-AI world. But workflows have evolved. Aftershoot lets you cull, edit, and retouch in one place - powered by AI and backed by 24/7 human support.

Why Photographers Are Choosing Aftershoot

Ashlee Weaver

Along with photography, I’m actively growing my online presence. With 20 weddings and hundreds of sessions this year, Aftershoot restored my work/life balance. It handles 70% of my workload while letting me ensure every photo meets my standards. I can now deliver edits within 2 weeks—even in busy season—which is huge for me!

Kasey + Tyler Rajotte

Aftershoot has given us a huge chunk of our lives back. It learned our culling style effortlessly, even with pets, and we fully trust it for culling and editing. For the first time in over 10 years, we’ve been able to truly take days off and even enjoy a full winter break with family. That’s been a game-changer for us.
