About Photon

Great edits shouldn’t come down to luck.

Most RAW editors hand you a wall of sliders and leave the rest to trial and error. Photon is a RAW editor that teaches you as you edit, so you can get the look you want, and get it again.

What we believe

The AI explains.
You decide.

The AI explains. You decide.

AI Coach looks at your photo and tells you what to change and why. Then you make the call, and the next edit comes a little easier.

How it feels

Fast, and out of
your way.

Fast, and out of your way.

Photon runs on Aftershoot’s own RAW engine, so every adjustment shows up in real time. Everything runs on your computer, even offline, and you’ll never need a manual to find your way around.

What it costs

No catch.

Core editing in Photon is free, and it will stay free. No subscription, and no trial that runs out.

Aftershoot, our software for professional photographers, pays the bills. Photon is how we share the joy of editing with every photographer, not just the ones who edit for a living.

Your photos stay yours. They only leave your computer when you ask the coach for help, and we never use them to train AI.
