Frequently Asked Questions

Why AfterShoot?

As Photographers and creatives, you should be able to spend our time on things that are most important to you!

Culling is often time taking and the most non-creative part of the photography workflow and hence we built AfterShoot to help you get precious hours back in your life!

What Platforms, Softwares and Image Formats do you support? All of them!

AfterShoot is compatible with both Windows and Mac (including the new M1 chip).

We also support Lightroom, Capture One and all the other leading photography tools.

As far as Image formats go, we support all the leading RAW formats alongwith JPEGs and PNGs.

What makes AfterShoot different from other AI culling apps?

As compared to other Culling apps that aim to provide incremental improvements to your workflow, AfterShoot aims to do it for you while still letting you retain the entire control over the selections.
