AI Editing With Lightroom and Capture One: The Aftershoot Revolution

In the ever-evolving world of photography, the post-processing phase has seen remarkable advancements, shifting from traditional manual culling and editing to the realm of automation with Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

Many photographers still dedicate significant time and effort to manual image selections and editing in Lightroom and Capture One, but revolutionary software is changing the game for thousands of photographers worldwide. 

Enter Aftershoot, an AI-powered culling and editing program designed to transform photographers' workflows.

Recently, Aftershoot took a groundbreaking step by becoming the first AI-powered editing software that works with Capture One. 

This integration marks a significant milestone in the AI-editing landscape, providing Capture One users with an automated editing tool that streamlines their post-processing workflow like never before.

How Aftershoot Redefines the Photography Workflow

Aftershoot’s AI-powered image selection and editing software is reshaping the way professional photographers approach their post-shoot workflows. 

Compatible with both Lightroom and Capture One, Aftershoot’s intelligent algorithms optimize the photography workflow by speeding up tedious decision-making processes while still giving photographers control over the final decisions. 

It’s the ultimate AI assistant, taking your preferences and unique style into consideration to maintain a high level of consistency while saving hours of valuable time.

Aftershoot’s Culling function reviews thousands of photos in a matter of minutes, highlighting the best for review. It takes blur, emotion, duplicates, and more into consideration.

The AI Editor learns from a photographer’s past edits in their Lightroom or Capture One Catalog(s) and then replicates their editing style onto unedited images at lightning speed. It can edit thousands of images in under one minute! More on how Aftershoot EDITS works in the next section.

Best of all, Aftershoot doesn’t require an internet connection to cull or edit images, making remote post-processing a breeze.

The recent integration of Aftershoot EDITS with Capture One empowers a broader scope of photographers to focus on their artistic vision rather than getting bogged down in the intricacies of manual editing.

How to Automate the Editing Process With Aftershoot

Automating the editing process is straightforward for both Lightroom and Capture One users. Aftershoot uses AI Profiles to replicate your unique editing style onto unedited images. 

These AI Profiles are like personalized editing presets, only they’re intelligently designed algorithms that adapt to your specific preferences and editing style. 

The same process of creating an AI Profile applies to Lightroom and Capture One users. First, you’ll need to choose your AI Profile settings:

• Black and White or Color
• JPEGs or raw

Then, upload your Lightroom or Capture One catalog(s) and filter for the edited images you want Aftershoot’s AI to learn from.

You need to upload at least 2,500 images, although 5,000 is recommended, to create an AI Profile. The more images you add for training, the better the AI will perform.

Note: Don’t worry if you don’t have enough edited images to train your AI Profile. There’s an easy way to get started with Aftershoot EDITS, which we’ll cover that in the next section.

You’ll receive an email once your AI Profile has been trained, which means you’re ready to open Aftershoot and start automating your editing process.

To run the AI editor, simply add your Lightroom or Capture One catalog to the edits screen, choose your AI Profile, and filter for the images you want to edit. Aftershoot will do its thing, and you’ll have all your edited images ready to review in minutes!

Although Aftershoot uses AI to automate the editing process, photographers retain full control over their final edits. 

Photographers can review and tweak their edits as usual in Lightroom and Capture One, or they can use Profile Adjustments in Aftershoot to fine-tune their AI Profiles and change their styles with ease. 

The software continuously learns from a photographer’s input and adjustments to keep improving in consistency and quality. 

By using Aftershoot EDITS, photographers can achieve consistent and professional-quality adjustments effortlessly. Here’s what one Aftershoot user had to say about the program:

Enhance Your Editing Experience With AI Styles

Aftershoot takes AI editing a step further with the introduction of nine AI Styles, available in the new Marketplace section of the application. 

AI Styles are pre-built AI Profiles that offer a solution to photographers who don’t have the minimum 2,500 edited images to train their own AI Profiles. 

Photographers can use these pre-built AI Profiles to make instant and expertly tuned adjustments to their images.

Currently, AI Styles are available exclusively to Lightroom users. However, Aftrshoot’s dedication to innovation is evident. Plans are underway to integrate AI Styles with Capture One soon, ensuring that a broader spectrum of photographers can benefit from this nifty feature.

Conclusion

The integration of Aftershoot with Capture One represents a monumental leap forward in AI editing for photographers. 

This synergy between advanced AI technology and powerful editing software is transforming the way images are post-processed and is saving photographers countless hours.

As part of Aftershoot's latest release, these new features demonstrate the software's commitment to continuous innovation and improvement to enhance the lives of professional photographers across the globe.
