Update Aftershoot
Aug 25, 2026 v.2.22.0

Double Chin Remover [Beta]

Retouch
AfterBefore
BEFOREAFTER

Softens unflattering angles by adding a shadow effect for a natural-looking, defined appearance that isn’t airbrushed. Just move the slider to adjust the intensity of the effect. This is currently in beta and available for frontal angles only. The result stays subtle enough that clients won’t notice anything was done at all. This leaves photos ready for delivery straight out of Aftershoot.

Dark Circles Remover

Retouch
AfterBefore
BEFOREAFTER

Brings life back to tired-looking eyes, especially after long shoots where fatigue can show through in photos. It works with the existing skin tones instead of masking over them, for a smooth, natural-looking result. It’s especially useful for shoots that run long, when fatigue starts to show by day’s end, so eyes simply look rested, but not obviously retouched.

Neck Brightening & Smoothing

Retouch
AfterBefore
BEFOREAFTER

Evens out the transition from face to neck so it never pulls focus. A subtle fix that quietly makes every portrait look more finished by making the subject look more polished and balanced. It’s especially handy when lighting treats the face and neck differently, creating a distracting line right where viewers look first. It matches the same understated approach as the other fixes.

Background Shadow

Retouch
AfterBefore
BEFOREAFTER

Adds a real shadow under your subject, so nothing looks pasted on. The kind of detail you only notice when it’s missing, but that makes the final image feel grounded, natural, and complete. It’s built to work seamlessly with background replacement, so subjects still cast the shadow you’d expect if shot there originally, even when a shot includes multiple people in the frame.

Portrait & Headshot Crop

Edit

Batch-crop your entire set with “close,” “medium,” or “wide” crop modes in one pass to get the framing and composition you envisioned. No more adjusting each image by hand to ensure a cohesive album. It’s built specifically for portrait and headshot sessions, ideal for albums where every subject needs the same framing, across dozens or hundreds of images in one go.

New Creator Profiles

Edit

Histogram & Clipping Indicators

edit

See exactly how shadows and highlights are distributed as you edit, with live indicators to flag clipping. Useful for confirming exposure objectively, rather than relying on how the image reads on your screen — catch exposure problems before they become a reshoot.

⚙️ Improvements
Retouch
Background Replacement: Now works on studio group shots too, not just solo portraits. Edge detection is cleaner around hair, hands, and props, even with multiple subjects in frame, for more seamless and convincing background changes.
Edit
Exporting Enhancements: Set your output dimensions and add a watermark, with control over placement, size, and opacity, right from export settings. Export full resolution for print or a smaller watermarked version for proofing and social, both from the same catalog.
Edit
Masking Enhancements: Apply adjustments to specific areas instead of the whole image. The brush lets you paint a mask by hand, anywhere in the frame, useful for areas automatic detection won't pick up. Invert flips any mask to select everything outside it: select the subject, invert, and you can edit the background on its own while the subject stays untouched.
