Skylum unveils Aperty for rapid, AI-assisted image retouching and editing for portrait photographers

Skylum has unveiled Aperty for rapid, AI-assisted image retouching and editing for portrait photographers. Photographers are paid only for their works, not by the time they spend retouching photos from shoots, so Aperty helps save time and increase productivity.

Photography is a tough business where time is money. Every minute not spent selling a final photograph is time wasted editing, touching up, and perfecting images for clients. Events such as weddings are especially time-sensitive, and today's brides expect faster turnover with their digital wedding photos. Manually editing each photo to achieve blemish-free skin, perfectly white teeth and eyes, and an overall look that wows can take days, even weeks, to process hundreds of photographs from an event.

Aperty is designed for rapid retouching and editing by utilizing AI to help enhance each image in the best way possible. One-click presets, batch processing that can be scheduled for any time of the day, and task automation enable busy photographers to set up an efficient photo processing pipeline that can handle thousands of photos efficiently while reducing time spent on manually editing individual photographs. Tools include blemish removal, teeth whitening, and makeup effects for one-click enhancements. Many more are included and can be customized as desired for a consistent look across batches of photographs.

Skylum has opened preorders for Aperty here at an MSRP of $149. Readers who aren't under the gun and enjoy the process of editing their photographs can use a traditional, feature-packed photo editor to tweak the details endlessly until absolute image perfection is achieved.
