TOOL USED
Aftershoot
SPOTTED ON

THEIR CLAIM
Hours or days of manual culling
TL;DR
What did Rachel Traxler use Aftershoot for?
A photographer sets Aftershoot's automated cull to its strictest level, adds back the shots she wants, and says the tool learns her picks over time. She says culling by hand took far longer.
What they did
She runs Aftershoot's automated cull set to an "extremely" strict cut, then goes through and adds photos back. She says the tool learns from what she keeps.
How it went
She says culling by hand took far longer.
"It cuts down on literal hours, if not days, to cull by hand."
— Rachel Traxler
Worth knowing
- A strict cut means a second pass to rescue the photos you want. How well it learns your picks is her experience, so check its choices against your own on a few sessions first.
Try it yourself

I'm switching to AI culling for my photo sessions. Help me write my culling rules in plain words (what counts as a duplicate, when a closed-eye shot is still a keeper, how many images per scene I deliver) so I can set the tool and check its picks against them.
