Get a Faster Photo Workflow in AfterShot Pro
For a lot of people who take pictures time is money. In my role as Community Manager with the Corel Photo team and AfterShot Pro, I’m lucky to have the chance to speak with all kinds of photographers—from family memory keepers to full-blown professionals. During my conversations, one of the questions I hear most often is “How can I spend more time taking pictures and less time editing them?”
Now, I’m no pro photographer, but I do take a lot of pictures and this is one of the main reasons I use AfterShot Pro 2. I always shoot RAW and, if you haven’t heard already, AfterShot Pro 2 is by far the fastest RAW photo processor on the block—having been benchmarked at up to 400% faster than our closest competitor’s last release.
But beyond the speed of the application, there’s another important step you can take to speed up your photo workflow — become an expert with AfterShot Pro’s keyboard shortcuts.
We asked professional photographer—and AfterShot Pro’s Lead Quality Assurance Specialist—Joao Bettencourt, to give us a list of his most-used keyboard shortcuts. Check out his list below, then jump to the bottom to get your special download!
