Sometimes you don't have enough photos to build a good Personal AI Editing Profile. Other times you simply want to experiment with an editing style that is different from your own. Regardless of your reasons Aftershoot's Pre-built AI Styles and Creator Styles can get you to editing within literal minutes.
What are Pre-built AI Styles and Creator Styles?
In essence, AI Styles and Creator Styles are AI Presets, also called Smart Presets by some. Each AI Style comes with an individual set of pre-defined editing settings and values, which it applies to your images.
AI Styles use AI Masking to analyze your photos for light, skies, subjects, and background conditions, to dynamically adjust their editing values to the unique conditions of each image. They enhance and modify the look of your images, with all that's left for you to do are finishing touches and details.
What's the difference between a Preset and an AI Style?
When it comes to a regular Preset, it's simply a set of editing values and adjustments imbued into it by the creator. Without AI capabilities, a Preset applies the same exact values to every image, without taking into account the unique characteristics of each one.
Meanwhile, an AI Style will analyze your image as a whole and take a look at separate parts of it as well. It will dynamically adjust its set values like color balance, contrast, and sharpness to each image's unique scenario.
Essentially, the main difference is that AI Styles provide individual treatment to each and every image, whereas Presets simply slap the same fixed adjustments across all the images.
Now that we've established what are AI Styles and how they are different from regular Presets, let's see how you can download one and get to editing.
