The Style Consistency Challenge
Every photographer has a signature look. But maintaining that look across an entire shoot—especially with varying lighting—is incredibly time-consuming. Presets fail. Manual editing takes forever. You need something smarter.
How AI Style Matching Works
ShootCleaner's AI style matching learns from your actual editing patterns and replicates them with machine-learning precision:
The Learning Process:
- Edit 20-30 photos from a shoot (or use existing edited work)
- Select those edited photos in ShootCleaner
- Choose "Learn My Style"
- ShootCleaner analyzes your adjustments across different lighting/scenarios
- AI builds a custom style model just for you
What Makes It Different from Presets?
Presets:
- ❌ Apply the same fixed adjustments to every image
- ❌ Break when lighting changes
- ❌ Require constant manual tweaking
- ❌ Can't adapt to different scenarios
AI Style Matching:
- ✅ Understands your intent, not just settings
- ✅ Adapts to different lighting while maintaining your look
- ✅ Recognizes when to adjust intensity
- ✅ Handles scene variations intelligently
Real-World Example
Your signature style: Warm highlights, slightly lifted blacks, natural skin tones, subtle vignette.
What AI Style Matching Does:
- Outdoor sunny: Reduces warmth to prevent oversaturation
- Indoor tungsten: Removes orange cast, then adds warm highlights
- Overcast day: Increases warmth and lifts blacks more aggressively
- Mixed lighting: Selectively applies warmth to properly lit areas only
Your look stays consistent, even as the adjustments adapt.

Time Savings with Style Matching
Traditional Manual Editing:
500 wedding photos × 20 seconds each = 2.8 hours
With AI Style Matching:
500 photos processed in 8 minutes + 15 minutes review = 23 minutes
Save 2.5 hours per shoot.
Exporting and Sharing Styles
Your learned styles are:
- Saved locally for privacy
- Exportable to share with team members
- Importable across devices
- Version-controlled for updates
Common Questions
How many photos do I need to teach a style?
Minimum 20, recommended 30-50 for best accuracy. More diverse lighting = better adaptation.
Can I update my style over time?
Yes! Add more examples to refine the AI's understanding of your evolving preferences.
Does it work with RAW files?
Absolutely. ShootCleaner learns from RAW edits and applies to new RAW files.
What if my style changes?
Create a new style version. Keep old ones for archive consistency.
