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 a Personal AI Preset that perfectly matches your unique editing style.
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 your AI Preset
You need at least 2,500 edited images to train your AI Preset, so ensure that you've connected all of your external drives which contain your Lightroom Catalogs and then click NEXT.
After clicking NEXT, Narrative will use its magic to 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, 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! 🎉
