Aftershoot setup: import, AI culling and export

This tutorial walks through a first photo cull in Aftershoot, starting with RAW files on a computer and ending with a selection ready for editing. The speaker frames the workflow around a 2,000-photo shoot and a five-minute cull, but does not provide a timed benchmark.

The setup begins with downloading the Mac or Windows app, signing in or creating an account, and creating an album. Photos can be dragged into the album or imported by selecting a folder. According to the tutorial, the original files stay in place without being moved or copied. It names CR2, CR3, NEF and ARW among the supported RAW formats.

Automatic AI selection makes an initial cut based on preferences. AI-assisted selection instead supplies scores and groups duplicates for manual decisions. The walkthrough uses automatic mode, sets the shoot genre and recommends Moderate selection stringency as a starting point.

The speaker describes filtering for blur, closed eyes and near-identical frames. Users then review groups, swap selected photos and discard unwanted frames. Export destinations include Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, Capture One and a computer folder; the tutorial says star ratings and color labels transfer automatically. AI editing is introduced as a separate next step. The supplied material does not establish whether culling works offline.
