AI Retouching is coming to Aftershoot soon, and you’re invited to join the waitlist to become a beta tester.

Recently we explored the many reasons why professionals and semi-pros are turning to AI-assisted batch editing to automate routine tasks, enhance consistency and streamline workflow. You can read the story here: Professional Photographers Leverage AI-Assisted Batch-Editing Apps to Streamline Workflow.

Aftershoot, one of the standouts among the group we evaluated, is adding “Unlimited AI Retouching” to expand the role that AI-powered, automated processing can play. Aftershoot already offers a powerful toolkit for culling and editing/retouching images without diminishing the photographer’s artist style. The new features under development add significant power to the photographer’s workstation.

The up-coming upgrade includes features such as blemish and wrinkle removal, teeth whitening, object removal, eyeglass glare reduction, plus selective retouching for individual subjects.

Photographers who would like early access to the new features can join the waitlist now to participate in the vetting of the Aftershoot AI Retouching beta version. The public beta version is expected to be available at the beginning of next year.

While we have not examined the new features directly, one appears particularly compelling: Selective Retouching for Individual Subjects. Aftershoot explains that this feature enables photographers to apply edits exclusively to specific individuals in a photo, ensuring adjustments are personalized and tailored for each subject.

So, if you’d like a peek behind the curtain, be a bug finder or just add your 2¢ worth, get on the waitlist. Should be fun.
