With Narrative, you can effortlessly train your very own Personal AI Preset! Narrative’s AI will scan all your connected Lightroom catalogs, analyzing your edits to create up to 3 Personal AI Presets that perfectly match your unique editing style.
Personal AI Presets are currently limited to Premium and Ultra plans.
How to Automatically Train Your Own AI Preset
Firstly, make sure you're in the Projects home screen. You can navigate here by clicking on the Narrative logo in the top left.
Now, click on the AI Presets tab on the left-hand navigation bar. On the AI Presets home screen, click the Train a new AI Preset button:
Training Color or Black & White AI Presets
When starting training, you can choose which type of AI Preset you’d like Narrative to create.
You can select from the following options:
Color + Black and White
Narrative will analyze your edits and attempt to train both Color and Black & White AI Presets.
Color only
Narrative will focus exclusively on your color edits and train up to 3 Color AI Presets.
Black and White only
Narrative will analyze only your black and white edits and train up to 3 Black & White AI Presets.
Narrative looks for your most consistent editing patterns to guide training. Depending on the variety and consistency of styles found across your Lightroom catalogs, Narrative can create up to three AI Presets for Color, and three AI Presets for Black & White.
Training your AI Preset
You need at least 1,500 edited images to train your AI Preset, so ensure that you've connected all of your external drives that contain your Lightroom Catalogs and then click NEXT.
After clicking NEXT, Narrative will automatically analyze your image library, searching for edited photos inside your Lightroom catalogs and use them to train the best AI Presets possible.
This step can take a couple hours; just leave your Narrative application while it trains in the background. The more consistently edited images you add, the better your AI Preset will be!
Tips:
Make sure you have Smart Previews generated, or your raw files are connected to the Lightroom catalogs.
Ensure that your images are downloaded onto either your computer or an external drive.
Once your images are done analyzing, they will be converted to DNG and then uploaded. When uploading, leave Narrative open, but feel free to change tabs.
When all images are uploaded, the cloud training happens, which is how Narrative learns your editing style. You can close Narrative now if you like. It may take a few hours to train your AI Preset.
Once your AI Preset is ready, you will receive a message through your Narrative email, and you can officially start using your AI Preset! 🎉

Starter, Standard and Master AI Presets

Starter requires 1,500 images
Standard requires 6,000 images
Master requires 15,000 images
