Review by Colinda
When I ordered this it was listed as Photo Editing Software with a description emphasizing the ways it can fix your images. After watching Corel’s introductory video and trying the software, I would classify it as a file management tool that happens to perform editing tasks. In that repect, it is similar to Lightroom. It is not as powerful as Lightroom but it is affordable and does not require a subscription. Personally I will just go back to using Adobe Bridge, which I got with the last Photoshop version that was sold before they went to the subscription model. Bridge is under-appreciated as a file manager and offers RAW editing features even for JPEGs, and since I have used it for years I am comfortable with it. But if you don’t want to make a heavy investment and you handle a high volume of files, AfterShot Pro is worth considering. It is not hard to learn, especially if you watch the videos on Corel’s website.
I downloaded this software over a wi-fi connection. It was easy to install on my Macbook.
For me, the editing tools seemed basic compared to Photoshop. But Aftershot Pro does not take a long time to learn so you may prefer it if you are not a Photoshop user.
