Britney! I LOVE your change; and I'm so glad that I found you! Thank you for these amazing comparisons, ratings, overviews, and for talking through your considerations so well. You're awesome!
Just to clarify re: Imagen’s fine tuning - once you refine edits on a project, the button for the project in Imagen changes to “upload final edits.” When you click that, it adds your tweaks to your profile and counts them towards that next 3,000 photos. Once you hit 3,000 it uses all those tweaked edits to recalibrate your profile. And this continues forever, similar to the aftershoot process.
Great video. Keep it up. Your point about all the buttons in Aftershoot really hit the nail on the head. It's a terribly noisy UI in my opinion, requiring too much cognitive work both in recall and navigation. I will note that I don't think any of the tools do a good job of cropping (I'm not a portrait shooter, and their models all seem to be trained more for volume portraits), which after color correcting is the biggest time suck. I can't wait for someone to unlock that feature. Only request as a fellow UXer is that you consider weighting your value assignments. While speed of initial profile may be a great feature to score, it's not as valuable to me as the final edit. I'd much rather sacrifice a few minutes to get way better results on my profile and have intuitive refinement features. Full disclosure I've tested Imagen and Aftershoot myself (as well as had 1-on-1 with their product teams), and landed on Imagen even though I hate that they nickel and dime you to death for every little add on, like straightening.
Sorry to say but your point system is pretty useless. Giving the same amount of points for quality and nailing for what you are using and paying those for editing thousands of images as well as for the setup which takes you a couple hours and you do only once and does not reflect in the quality you deliver at the end, does not make any sense. I thought you will give half points for the first setup part and then full or even double points for the end result. But man was I wrong.

Your audio could use some gain
