Enlight Quickshot is a photo editing app designed to simplify the editing process.[1] It is made by Lightricks.

History

Enlight Quickshot was released in August 2017.[1] It is available as a free version with in-app-purchases.[2] Quickshot has had over 1 million downloads.[3]

The app originally featured four AI-powered modes with auto adjustment features as well as a photo gallery with batch editing tools. The four shooting modes were: HDR, Quickshot, Photo, and Strobe.[4]

The app's name derives from the “quickshot” mode which automatically aligned photos, fixed the lighting and previewed filters before the picture was taken.[5]

Editing Features

Editing options are Magic which is a retouch feature[6] and Looks that can change the picture with one click.[2][1] It was revealed influencer Tupi Saravia was using Quickshot's most well-known feature, the Sky feature to insert the same cloud formation image into her pictures.[7][8][9] As a result of the publicity, she started working for Quickshot as a brand ambassador.[10]
