Aftershoot early Black Friday sale


Aftershoot launched its early Black Friday sale: the first 500 photographers can grab an annual plan and get 25% off; then the discount drops to 20%. You can also try using coupon codes BLACKFRIDAY26 and RUMORS for additional savings. That’s the lowest price of the year. If Aftershoot doesn’t work for you, you can claim a full refund within 30 days.


Aftershoot is an AI-powered desktop software (for Mac and Windows) designed for professional photographers, especially those shooting high-volume work like weddings, events, portraits, and schools, that streamlines the entire post-production workflow in one app. It uses AI to automatically or assistively cull images by scoring them on factors like sharpness, exposure, composition, facial expressions, closed eyes, and duplicates (grouping bursts intelligently and learning your preferences over time), then applies consistent edits that can match your personal style (via training on your past work or pre-built profiles) with full RAW controls, and handles natural retouching such as skin smoothing, blemish removal, object cleanup, flyaway hair, and glasses glare. The platform also supports client galleries for proofing, delivery, and print sales, all while running offline/locally for privacy with unlimited images and flat pricing (no per-image fees), helping photographers reclaim significant time—often reducing hours of manual culling and editing to minutes.

GRKit offers film looks and XPan for Ricoh GR cameras, no firmware flashing required





GRKit is an experimental, SD-card-based software tool (no firmware flashing required) that expands the creative options on Ricoh GR III, GR IIIx, GR IV, and their HDF variants (plus limited support for the GR IV Monochrome). It adds live-preview film looks inspired by stocks such as Kodak Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, Fujifilm Velvia 100, Tri-X 400, and others (with the option to import your own .cube LUTs or Lightroom presets), expanded framing and aspect ratios including the classic XPan 65:24 panoramic crop along with 2.35:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, and more (with composition guides), plus effects like adjustable grain, bloom, red-orange film-style halation, and date imprint. After a simple copy-to-card install and a short load time on power-up, these features appear in the ADJ menu as “GRK” and in a dedicated MENU section; removing the card instantly returns the camera to stock behavior, making it fully reversible (though it is experimental and used at your own risk).

Here is a video describing GRKit:
