The best thing about this software that you didn’t mention is the fact that everything happens locally on your machine, no need to upload your photos after a shoot to get edited in a server somewhere. No Wi-Fi necessary either.

You guys should really consider the Topaz pricing model, you buy the software and you get a year of updates, after the year you can keep your software as is, but if you want to get a better software you pay another year.

Useful features on this update. Thanks for the tour.

timesaver! ...but A.I. technology is advancing so quickly that i can see how the software will eventually take each subject in an image and treat it like an A.I. object - for example, in a family photo if the dad has his eyes inadvertently closed, the A.I. can 'open' his eyes or maybe change the expression of a crying child to a smiling one. it would just used all the images of the subjects as training dataset to manipulate an outcome. at THAT point, we start asking the question: where does the photographer's creativity and talents end and where does A.I.'s begin?

After the apocalypse we'll probably have to start painting our family portraits, but until then yeah the machines are probably going to progress making talent irrelevant.

Impressed with the culling but not impressed with the editing. (in this video) Seems that presets will do just as good.

Not only that, but there is no way to cancel the subscription other than talking directly to them, no cancel button anywhere. And of course they are going to try to talk you out of it, give you offers, asking you why are you cancelling. Over all good software, but terrible customer experience.

Thank you for this AI review. Been following y’all for years. Much appreciated!

Interesting. There's a similar solution for those that take 625 images at a portrait session or 5000 images at a wedding. It's called discipline. Stop overshooting. Just stop. As a retired full-time commercial photographer for 20 years, I can assure you that time is money. So all those "free" images you're creating chain you to your desk. Just stop it.

Is this a sponsored video? It sure seems like one, but I don’t believe that was mentioned anywhere.

So I’m surprised you didn’t mention about the pricing structure. For this program, you pay monthly or yearly and it’s another subscription service. I mean, it has very interesting capabilities, but it’s another subscription service.

the absolute hardest of passes. Couple's dont pay thousands of dollars for wedding photos so AI can decide how they should look. They hire me for my culling eye and editing style. I wouldnt ever outsource any of these tasks to another human let alone AI. This stuff needs to stop.

8:05 The software ONLY works if you have Lightroom or Photoshop or Bridge or Capture1. If you don't have any of those you can't even see if the editing part works at all... No jpg exports, no previews inside Aftershoot. Support told me that most of the AI editing sliders are based on LR. I can try to read the edits from the XMP on other apps, but it may be incompatible. And it is incompatible. Can't do anything with Affinity Photo or Darktable. And I get that +1 Saturation from one software to another could lead to different results, therefor all other software will probably read the XMP but take no action. Welp, I just hope the uninstallation and deleting the account is easy. Edit: There is no way to delete the account from the website. I'll have to send an email and politely ask to. I could have saved a couple hours if it was clear at 8:05 that this software works only with Adobe and C1. How is it still legal to not have a delete my account button on websites?

Also ran into the DNG Converter update issue... unfortunately, I had to go through the process of the edits for an 8,000 photo album twice... then contacted support and was told to update the DNG Converter... then, went back and saw there was an update available to train my profile on the new exposure and white balance (merely 4 hours after I had downloaded and installed the new software)... I'm afraid that whatever time I save by using this will wind up getting eaten by trying to get the software to work... Do I see the benefit, yes. Do I like that there's a 30-day trial, yes.. but this could be done much more smoothly IMO.

I didn't see or hear an ad disclosure, or disclaimer that it was not.

Thanks for the ad.

How did you get from 191 selected to 42 in the end? Did you just clicked on Z a lot?

Confused why the 4 star images are better then the 5 star according to the app :D

Great video, thanks. The white balance it's for me not correct, too warm (faces unnatural)

This is scary, but on a positive note it could add to my clients list. I have a trip to Lisbon, Portugal in July. I wonder how fast it will do if I upload my daily images to this software. They will think I am a beast with editing. lol

Looking great! But... to get all the features you showed you need a $40/month plan. That's pretty stiff considering Lightroom for example is only $9.99/month.. obviously not a direct comparison between the two, but still. Professional weddings/events photographers will probably be able to justify this with no issues, but for a regular guy who shoots personal stuff - not so much.

so why buying led lights and flashes?

Very sad - it ONLY WORKS FOR PORTRAIT PHOTOS

Nice software, the future of LightRoom maybe? Sadly it won’t take them long to copy these brilliant ideas.

This software is useless when no one hires photographers. Kidding as only event photographers or live events will survive AI

"Button pushers" have been out of business since the launch of the iPhone, maybe even since the launch of any digital camera.

First the AI replaces the editors, then it will replaces us.

Not another subcription. Hate it. I want to own the software with payment

Are you telling me that i should buy a Sony a9III and shoot at 120 FPS on auto mode so I don't need to do anything else for the rest of my life? Every moment will be captured with the "best exposure" possible, then the AI will select the piures, frame them and do the color grading, even maybe the retouch and then I just need to send it by email to my client? Just a little question more... should I know how to take pictures or its optional?

At least it doesn’t do a fake composite “best take”…
