Aftershoot Unveils Free AI Tool for Portrait Retouching
Tired of spending countless hours on tedious portrait retouching? For photographers, post-production can often be the most time-consuming part of the job. Aftershoot is aiming to change that with the early release of its new AI Retouching tool, designed to complete its all-in-one post-production workflow.
Streamlining the Portrait Workflow with AI
Aftershoot has already made a name for itself with its AI-powered culling and editing tools. Now, by adding a powerful and realistic retouching feature, the platform offers a comprehensive solution for portrait photographers. The new tool is engineered to handle the most demanding aspects of portrait enhancement, from skin correction to object removal, freeing up valuable time for photographers to focus on their craft, clients, and business growth.
Previously available to a limited group, AI Retouching is now open to all photographers, and the best part is that it's completely free to use until September 2025.
Key Features of AI Retouching
The tool is packed with features that apply edits with pixel-level precision, ensuring that subjects retain their natural skin texture and authentic appearance. Whether you're working on a single headshot or a large group photo, the AI delivers consistent, high-quality results.
Here are some of the standout capabilities:
- Skin Smoothening (Face & Body): Refines skin texture while preserving natural detail, even in multi-person shots.
- Blemish Removal: Intelligently detects and regenerates areas with acne or uneven pigmentation for a smooth, natural look.
- Wrinkle Removal: Softens forehead wrinkles, eye bags, and smile lines for a subtly refreshed appearance.
- Face Enhancement: Brightens the face, reduces shine, and increases eye clarity.
- Glass Glare Removal: Expertly removes reflections from eyeglasses and reconstructs the underlying eye and facial details.
- Stray Hair Removal: Cleans up distracting stray hairs without altering the natural volume or shape of the hairstyle.
- Teeth Brightening & Whitening: Enhances smiles with a clean, bright look that avoids over-processing.
- Object Removal: A patch tool seamlessly removes unwanted elements from the background or foreground.
Advanced Control and Batch Processing
Beyond individual corrections, the AI Retouching tool provides features for a truly efficient workflow:
- Selective Subject Retouching: Apply different retouching settings to specific individuals within the same photo.
- Presets: Save your unique retouching preferences or use one of Aftershoot's built-in presets for style consistency.
- Batch Retouching: Retouch a single image and sync the adjustments across an entire gallery for massive time savings.
- Correct Changes Tool: Maintain full control by masking and removing AI adjustments from specific areas to preserve original details.
