If Aftershoot “Didn’t work” for you, read this.

This post breaks down what actually goes wrong, how to train your profile without frying your brain, how to test edits without risking client work, and what to tweak so your results jump from “ehh” to 70–95 percent accurate. Think of this as a friendly guided reset for your AS workflow.
