Today, I’m excited and proud to announce the release of AfterShot Pro 3—available right now at AfterShotPro.com and coming soon to resellers like B&H and Amazon.
In ASP3, you’ll find some big changes under the hood that will elevate your photo workflow by helping you get better images, faster. Recover more detail in blown-highlights than ever before with our all-new highlight recovery algorithm. Shave time off your workflow with all-new time-saving tools, like advanced watermarking and layer-based Blemish Correction. Plus get modular camera updates, plugins and presets more delivered dynamically, directly in-app.
According to industry experts at Deloitte, an estimated 2.5 trillion photos will be shared or stored online in 2016, a 15% increase over the year before. And those are just the ones that make it to the Web… How many more are on our hard drives?
AfterShot Pro 3 is built on industry-leading performance, adding features that help photographs get through today’s overwhelming volume of photos quickly, and with amazing results. For the pro-shooter, time is money. And enthusiasts… we fight just to carve out a little time for our hobbies, am I right? You dream of capturing that perfect shot… not a day-long marathon of importing, cataloging, editing, and exporting a memory card full of images.
We want you to spend more time with your camera, not your computer. AfterShot Pro is fast—on average 4x faster than Lightroom—but that’s nothing new. From its inception, AfterShot Pro (and its predecessor, Bibble) has been designed to leverage multicore processing to deliver top notch performance. And having the choice to work without catalogs doesn’t hurt our speed either!
With this release, the AfterShot Pro team focused on delivering all-new ways to save you time and speed up your workflow—and we’re talking about more than just pure processing horsepower. AfterShot Pro 3 brings fundamental improvements to image quality with our new Highlight Recovery algorithm, adds built-in watermarking, and introduces an entirely new way to dynamically update content in AfterShot Pro 3, so you can get more camera profiles, more plugins, and more presets directly in-app.
