In the future I hope that the Aftershoot folks provide additional categories such as wildlife and or birds, as I think a lot of nature photographers would really appreciate being able to more quickly cull through their large folders of RAW images of those. This looks to be a major time saver when culling, which has always been an issue for me. I can absolutely see the usefulness for me of this software, especially when I am out there shooting wildlife and have too heavy a finger on the shutter release while in burst mode. I definitely will be doing that with the first folder I ran through the system, as of course then I was seeing it all for the first time and didn't quite get the fine-tuning bit of the selections, etc. I like that this program is nondestructive so that if I have the urge to look through one of the folders again because I remember a certain image or two which didn't show up in the culling results I can still do that, and also that now that I'm a little more familiar with how it all works I can tinker with the settings and selections that I make in order to more carefully refine my parameters in the first place and then simply run the whole thing through again. Probably a whole lot more accurate in many cases than what I would do in my own culling when doing things manually. HOLY COW!!! Three large folders which I had been putting off sorting through are now neatly winnowed down into much more manageable size for my further review and then editing - all within a very short period of time. So now I've got magic unicorns stepping in and applying their culling skills on some of my images?!! OK, OK, so I succumbed to temptation.the 30-day free trial was just too hard to resist and I really was curious about this program! I had several recent large folders of unreviewed/unculled images and today decided that this was worth a try, anyway, just to see what would happen.
