Nor does AfterShot's program window follow standard Windows behaviors like snapping to a half side view if you drag it to the side. Most other photo programs have simple split or side-by-side viewing options during editing. You can't see a before-and-after view of edits unless you create a second copy (version) of the image, select both, and switch to Multi-Image view. Oddly, the arrow keys don't take you back and forth between photos. Always-present buttons for grid view, photo with filmstrip, and full-photo view are at top left, and let you easily switch between choosing and working on photos. On the right is a panel for Basic adjustments, Histogram, and Presets. Next to the standard side panel for adjustments and metadata is an unusual vertical filmstrip view of photos in the folder, but you can set this to show along the bottom, as most programs do, with the Toggle Orientation menu option.

Speed of import and quality of raw camera file conversion are two different things, and things that are often in opposition to each other. It's a pretty important missing piece of the workflow. Only after this can you import them into AfterShot. AfterShot doesn't even offer the option to move or copy files, so it's up to you to use your operating system or another utility, such as PhotoMechanic, to move pictures off your media cards. Lightroom only lets you do this when importing from a folder on the local disk. These numbers aren't completely comparable, since AfterShot isn't copying or moving the files, but just adding their info to its catalog database. This compared with 2:35 for Lightroom to complete both tasks, 2:41 for Capture One, and a group-leading 1:03 for PhotoDirector. Note that that's without actually moving the files it's simply adding them to its catalog. AfterShot beat most competitors, taking just 18 seconds (minutes:seconds) for the import, and another 46 seconds to finish building previews for a total import time of 1:04.

I tested on an Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC running 64-bit Windows 10 Home and sporting a 4K display, 16GB RAM, a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700T CPU, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M discrete graphics card. Each file weighed in at about 25 to 30MB. Since speed of ingesting digital photos into your computer is a bragging point for Corel AfterShot, I tested it by importing 157 24MP raw files in. It also helpfully shows progress bars for the separate importing and preview-creation steps. It does however, create previews for editing and lets you apply presets during import, a plus of sorts. What this tells me is that the import doesn't actually copy the image files to your PC, but just indexes them in its own catalog.

Upgrading for existing users cuts the price by $20.Īn old-style Windows XP-type window opens for importing, only letting you choose the AfterShot catalog to import to, not the PC folder.

A free 30-day unlimited trial is available, with no payment info required. That price compares well with Capture One's ($299), DxO PhotoLab's ($149), and CyberLink PhotoDirector's ($99.99).
AfterShot lists for $79.99, but is usually discounted. Pricing and Getting StartedĪfterShot has one-shot pricing, so you needn't worry about shelling out monthly contributions as you do with Adobe Lightroom Classic ($19.99 Per Month at Adobe)(Opens in a new window). But it still falls short of Lightroom Classic's state of the art raw conversion, geometry tools, and organization features. The program now includes useful HDR tools, red-eye removal, and more.

Corel claims the current 64-bit software offers the fastest camera raw file conversion, but speed was not the only problem in previous versions. The current version, AfterShot Pro 3.5, adds blemish removal, watermarking, a preset library, and on-demand lens profile downloading.
The second version sped up the program, made some interface changes, and added new editing tools. In our reviews of earlier versions of Corel's photo workflow software, we noted its weakness at importing, sharing, and some of the editing steps in between.
