Corel AfterShot Pro 3 | RAW Photo Editing Software [PC/Mac Key Card]

I never had a chance to use the product. When you purchase itva code is mailed to your home. Thats right mailed! Than you have to log on to the website enter the code and download your purchase. However my code didnt work. So I went into live chat with a Corel rep. Who said she could fix the problem if she can access my computer and work remotely. During the first 45 seconds she was on my desk top and clicked on my file labeled 2020 Tax Return and proceeded to open the file. At that point I stopped the remote process and vehemently complained to Corel who to date has ignored me. Untrustworthy company.

NOT A VINE FREEBIE --- Despite statements to the contrary, AfterShot 3 Pro will not read my DNG files. There is no function for easy duplication of images (for alternate treatments). Other bugs as well, but perhaps the worst part is that the Customer support is so terrible. Totally unwilling or unable to admit a known limitation or a bug, but will ask for more and more of your system information (irrelevant to the issue). I can only assume they do this to push customers to throw in the towel rather than try to continue through the inappropriate hoops.

I have been a photoshop user for years and while this is NOT a full blown replacement, it does exactly what I need it to do. Corel Aftershot Pro3 is a tool that requires a little learning curve to master, but it isnt difficult. You can load your pictures and then manually or automatically apply a number of filters. Want to fix a blemish? 2 clicks and I was able to erase some scratches in an old photo that I had scanned in. Some of the enhancements this tool does I have a hard time distinguishing from the original photo they are so subtle, but many of them really make your picture something different. My favorite feature of this is the auto watermark option to apply a watermark to all of your photos. In our digital world its important that you mark your photos to protect them and this tool makes that process so simple with a single or batch mode automatic process. Overall I really like this software and frankly it does enough of what I do in photoshop it is making me question if I need to continue with my monthly subscription to adobe since all I do is minor photo tweaks. This app works perfect for this.

I am a total amateur when it comes to editing, but needed to try something for editing the photos I take for my business.

A lot of reviews compare this product to lightroom, because light room is pretty much the gold standard in video editing, but it now has some major competition.

I am a casual photographer but one who enjoys refining and playing with my images. Im a Mac user and take most of my shots with an iPhone 6+. So what does AfterShot offer the casual photographer compared to other products?

Having used several Corel photo editing software programs, i. e. PaintShop Pro, Roxio and MS Digital Imaging, we were impressed with the specifications of Corel AfterShot Pro 3 photo editing software and placed the order. Following the instructions on the ASP 3 card, I downloaded the 64-bit Mac version (other versions are available for Windows, Lenux RPM and Debian OS systems). In addition I downloaded the detailed User Guide to my iPad Pro for ready reference. Subsequently, logged into my Corel account and added/registered the ASP 3 program. After installing the program, I viewed “getting started with ASP 3 for a faster work flow” and several other (except the beginners videos) how to videos prior to editing a couple photos needing attention. First, let me say AfterShot Pro 3 is by far the most comprehensive photo editing program I’ve used. The enhanced recovery, and blemish remover tools are a plus as is the “watermark” and camera profile feature for professional photographers and webmasters. Overall, a slick five star photo editing program, at an excellent price - recommended without reservations.

Hubbys review:

Before purchase, make sure your camera is listed as supported on the Corels website. If its not, do not buy the software.

I love it would recommend it to others
