My name is Chema Garrido, and I’m a professional portrait photographer based in Barcelona. I’ve been in this business for more than 8 years, and I discovered that to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced photography industry, efficient editing is essential. Clients expect high-quality results and a quick delivery. A slow turnaround time is bad for business. As a professional photographer who runs a studio, I’ve had firsthand experience with the challenges of balancing editing tasks with managing a business, interacting with clients, and keeping up with shoots. Finding software that could keep up with my high-volume workflow and maintain image quality was always a priority. After years of trial and error, I came across Aperty — a portrait-focused photo editor specifically designed for photographers handling large projects.
Here’s why Aperty has become my editor of choice for everything from batch retouching to delivering consistent, high-quality results on time.
Batch Retouching Efficiency
I cover a lot of weddings, family, pregnancy, modeling sessions, along with general portraits, both in outdoor and studio environments. The biggest challenge of my job is high-volume editing that can become quite time-consuming. With hundreds or even thousands of images to process after each shoot, the repetitive task of retouching individual photos can quickly drain my time that I could spend elsewhere.
Aperty’s batch photo editing feature has been a game-changer for my business in this regard. Before, processing and retouching hundreds of photos from a shoot would take up to 10 hours of manual edits. Now, with Aperty, I can apply bulk photo retouching adjustments across an entire series simultaneously, reducing my editing time by up to 70%. This feature alone has allowed me to save an average of 8 hours per project, meaning I can take on more clients and deliver faster.
Instead of spending hours going over each image individually, I can now perform essential edits — blemish removal, skin smoothing, color adjustments — in one smooth, unified process. This efficiency has freed up valuable time, allowing me to focus more on the creative aspects of photography and less on repetitive tasks.
Privacy-First Editing
I prioritize my clients’ privacy, especially when handling personal and potentially sensitive images from weddings, portraits, artistic nudes, boudoir shoots, and family events. One of Aperty’s standout features is its offline AI functionality. Unlike other editors that rely on cloud-based systems, Aperty processes everything locally, which means I don’t have to worry about client data being stored or accessed online. This keeps my workflow secure and assures clients that their photos are processed safely with 100% local processing and without internet dependency.
In an age where privacy is paramount, being able to promise my clients secure editing has strengthened my professional relationships and reassured clients that their images are handled with the utmost care.
Automated Quality Retouching
Delivering top-quality retouching is key to any photographer’s reputation. However, achieving this consistently while managing tight deadlines can be challenging. Aperty’s automated portrait retouching features — blemish removal, skin smoothing, and even makeup adjustments — enable me to produce high-quality edits without spending an inordinate amount of time on each image.
Automated adjustments may sound like they’d result in a “one-size-fits-all” edit, but with Aperty, the results are natural and refined, which is a priority in my style of photography. The software’s AI analyzes each photo, making subtle, accurate adjustments that enhance rather than overpower. Whether working with large event galleries or a model portfolio, Aperty’s AI-driven tools help me maintain a high standard of quality and save considerable editing time.
Time-Saving Solutions
In my experience, photographers often find themselves stretched thin between client sessions, editing, and other business photography tasks. Editing, while critical, can quickly take over my schedule, leaving less time for client meetings or even marketing my services. Since using Aperty, I save an average of 10 hours per week on editing, freeing up time for client consultations and new projects. Mileage may vary depending on how busy you are with client commissions, but at the end of the day, you will save time with Aperty.
Instead of manually handling adjustments for each photo, I rely on Aperty to apply consistent, quality edits to large volumes of images. This software helps me maximize my efficiency, so I have more time to focus on shooting, interacting with clients, and growing my business. For any photographer looking to optimize their workflow, this software is a valuable asset that helps balance productivity and quality.
Maintaining Consistency When Working with Large Volumes
I found that in high-volume projects, such as weddings or corporate events, consistency is a major priority. A collection of photos from a single event should feel cohesive, with uniform lighting, skin tones, and color adjustments across the entire gallery. Achieving this consistency manually can prove challenging when managing hundreds of photos.
Mass photo editor Aperty’s batch editing capabilities solve this problem by allowing me to apply adjustments to a whole set of images in one go. Instead of minor variations between each photo, I can confidently deliver a polished, professional gallery with a consistent look and feel. This feature not only improves my client’s satisfaction with the final product but also strengthens my brand as a photographer known for delivering beautiful, cohesive work on time.
My Overall Take on Aperty
In the commercial photo editing industry, where competition is high and clients expect top-notch results, the right tools make all the difference. Aperty has allowed me to streamline my editing process, improve consistency, and deliver quality results without overextending my time or budget. With Aperty, I’ve been able to increase client turnaround by 40%, delivering high-quality galleries faster than ever. It allows me and countless photographers to achieve precision edits quickly and easily, even on large projects. For photography businesses looking for an effective, and privacy-first editing solution, Aperty is a powerful addition to any studio’s workflow.
Best of all, for studios interested in integrating Aperty into their operations, flexible pricing options are available. I got my special license after contacting the sales team, and so can you.
