AI editing and masking in Aftershoot

Step-by-step

1. Select the images you want to edit using the color labels or filters.
2. Navigate to the Edit tab.
3. Choose your custom AI editing profile.
4. Toggle on AI cropping if you want the software to handle composition adjustments.
5. Enable masking to automatically generate subject masks for Lightroom.
6. Select 'Adjust all non AI sliders' to apply profile-based adjustments.
7. Click the Edit button to begin the processing.

Options

• Export unedited photos into a separate file before editing.
• Turn AI cropping off if you prefer manual control over composition.
• Toggle subject masking on or off depending on your Lightroom workflow.

Watch out for

• If the AI encounters a lighting scenario it hasn't seen in your training data, it may not perform perfectly the first time.

Tips

• If the AI makes a mistake, edit the photo manually and feed it back into Aftershoot to improve the algorithm for next time.
• Use the masking feature to save time on subject-specific edits in Lightroom.
• Trust the AI cropping; even if you prefer manual crops, it is often accurate enough to save significant time.
