How Aftershoot Transformed Portrait Photo Editing with Labellerr’s Advanced Human Segmentation

Introduction

AI is changing how photographers edit their work, and Aftershoot is leading this transformation with smart, automatic tools.

Aftershoot specializes in automated editing solutions that help photographers save time while maintaining high quality.

Their platform needs to identify and separate different parts of a photo, from the sky in the background to the details of a person's face.

To train their AI, they needed expert-level labeling for many categories, and this major challenge brought them to Labellerr.

Our Customer: Aftershoot

Aftershoot is a technology company that changes how photographers edit photos using AI.

They build intelligent platforms that automatically improve portraits by identifying and adjusting different parts of the image with professional precision.

Their tools serve professional photographers who need to process many photos quickly without sacrificing quality.

Because Aftershoot promises top-quality results, they require extremely accurate and consistent photo labeling.

The Complex Labeling Challenge

Aftershoot faced a major challenge that required three different types of labeling:

• Sky Segmentation They needed to separate the sky from everything else in the photo, like trees or buildings, which meant drawing perfect borders.
• Subject Segmentation They had to identify each person in a photo with a separate label, making sure people in a group did not have overlapping labels.
• Body Part Segmentation The most difficult task was labeling nine different body part categories, including hair, face, skin, clothes, and shoes. Each category had its own specific rules for precise labeling.

How Labellerr Stepped In

Multi-Layer Labeling Expertise

Labellerr's team fully understood Aftershoot's complex labeling needs, including how to distinguish between backgrounds, people, and small body parts. They trained their annotators on a three-step process: first labeling the sky, then each person, and finally the specific details.

Advanced Tools for Perfect Boundaries

Labellerr used advanced tools to draw pixel-perfect borders around tricky areas like hair and clothing.

• Magic Editor To meet Aftershoot's need for perfection, Labellerr introduced its Magic Editor feature. This tool easily fixes messy edges around hair or clothing. It smooths rough lines and fills in missed spots with simple commands, without disrupting the rest of the work.
• CLIP Mode For photos with overlapping people or clothes, Labellerr created the CLIP Mode feature. This tool solves tricky border problems in seconds. Instead of manually moving points, annotators can accurately separate overlapping items like jackets over shirts.
• Polygon Eraser Labellerr also introduced the Polygon Eraser to handle very detailed work. This tool lets annotators remove specific parts of a label with precision, which was perfect for Aftershoot's need to clean up complex areas without starting over.

Specialized Clothing and Accessory Labeling

Labellerr created clear rules for labeling different types of clothes, like telling a t-shirt apart from a jacket or a dress. The team also became experts at identifying and labeling accessories like jewelry and watches, keeping them separate from skin and clothes.

Individual Person Identification

Labellerr's technology easily handled group photos. It gave each person their own unique label, such as "Person 1" and "Person 2," so nothing got mixed up.

Quality Checks for Portrait Photography

Labellerr set up a special quality check process just for portraits. They double-checked the accuracy of hair outlines, facial borders, and clothing labels to ensure every label met the high standards needed for professional editing tools.
