Experience AI-powered retouching for free until September 2025.

Aftershoot today launched the early release of AI Retouching, a new AI tool that helps photographers apply realistic, high-quality portrait retouching directly within the platform. With its unlimited culling and editing tools already built in, Aftershoot now adds retouching to complete the portrait post-production workflow.

Previously limited to a small group of early access users, AI Retouching is now available to all photographers free of charge until September 2025.

The AI tool is designed to simplify one of the most time-consuming aspects of post-processing — portrait retouching — by handling tasks like skin texture correction, blemish removal, eyeglasses glare reduction and object removal. By significantly reducing the time spent on manual retouching, AI Retouching enables photographers to deliver polished, consistent galleries instantly faster — while freeing up more time for creativity, personal life, client relationships, and growing their business.

Whether working on individual portraits or group shots, edits are applied with pixel-level precision while preserving natural skin texture and authentic look. To support this level of control and consistency, AI Retouching includes the following key features:

• Skin Smoothening (Face & Body): Refines skin texture while preserving natural detail and smooth skin tone for each subject in multi-person shots.
• Blemish Removal: Detects and regenerates areas affected by acne and uneven pigmentation for natural skin tone and texture and a smooth, even look.
• Wrinkle Removal: Targets forehead wrinkles, eye bags, and smile lines, gently softening them for a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
• Face Enhancement: Detects and enhances facial and eye areas by brightening the face, reducing face shine, and increasing eye clarity.

• Glass Glare Removal: Removes reflections from eyeglasses while accurately reconstructing eyes and facial features.
• Stray Hair Removal: Cleans up stray hairs without affecting natural volume or hair shape.
• Teeth Brightening & Whitening: Enhances the natural brightness of teeth for a clean, confident smile, while maintaining realistic tones and avoiding over-processing.
• Selective Subject Retouching: Enables to apply retouching to specific individuals in a photo, ensuring adjustments are personalized and tailored for each subject.

• Presets: Allows to save and reuse retouching preferences or choose any one of the pre-defined Aftershoot presets to match consistent style.
• Batch Retouching: Retouch one image and sync the changes across the entire set for fast, consistent results.
• Object Removal: Patch tool seamlessly removes unwanted elements while preserving details.
• Correct Changes tool: Give the control to remove the mask from specific areas of the image, preserving original details where needed.
