We watched photographers drown in subscription fees and fragmented tools. So we built something better.
We watched photographers drown in subscription fees. $20/mo for Lightroom, $40/mo for Aftershoot, $25/mo for galleries. ShutterShield replaces all three.
Professional photographers pay for Lightroom to edit, Aftershoot to cull, Pic-Time to deliver, and a dozen other tools just to run their business. The monthly costs add up fast, the workflows are fragmented, and every tool wants to lock you into its ecosystem.
We watched friends and colleagues spend more time wrestling with software than shooting. A wedding photographer editing 3,000 photos after every event. A portrait photographer manually applying the same edits to every gallery. A studio owner juggling five different subscriptions just to deliver work to clients.
ShutterShield is a product of Obsidian Clad Labs LLC, a husband-and-wife team in Tennessee. Billie is a photographer, so this one hits close to home. Photographers deserve better tools at honest prices.
“Simple. Affordable. Always on your side.”
ShutterShield is built on the same neural network architectures used by professional VFX studios. Every photo you upload is processed by real AI models running on dedicated GPU hardware.
Real-ESRGAN
Super-resolution upscaling. Enlarges images up to 4x while adding realistic detail that traditional upscaling cannot produce.
CodeFormer + GFPGAN
Face enhancement and restoration. Recovers natural skin texture, sharpens eyes, and corrects facial artifacts in portraits.
AI Noise Reduction
Advanced denoising. Removes sensor noise and grain while preserving fine detail that conventional denoising algorithms destroy.
LaMa
Neural inpainting for object removal. Removes power lines, signs, and unwanted objects with seamless, context-aware fill.
MiDaS
Depth estimation for AI bokeh. Creates realistic background blur by understanding the 3D structure of your scene.
Spandrel
Universal model loader supporting CivitAI upscalers like UltraSharp and Nomos for additional super-resolution options.
GPU workers scale to zero when not in use, so you only pay for what you need. First use takes about 45 seconds as models load into GPU memory, then processing is instant.
Your photos are your livelihood. We protect your work with secure processing, access controls, and zero rights claims. Your photos are always yours.
No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch pricing, no fake feature lists. If something is coming soon, we say so. If something does not work yet, we tell you.
Upload, edit, deliver. Three steps. We do not believe in 47-tab interfaces or 200-page manuals. If it is not intuitive, it is not done.
Professional tools should not cost professional salaries. We keep prices fair and offer a generous free tier because everyone deserves good tools.
We never sell your data. We never train models on your photos. We never share your work without your explicit permission. Your privacy is not a feature, it is a promise.
You own your photos, your galleries, your client relationships. We are the tool, not the platform. Export anything, anytime, no lock-in.
