In order to ship your images using an AI Preset, you first need to create or open up a project of unedited RAW images in Narrative Select + Edit. If you're new to Narrative, you can learn more about creating a project here.

Currently, you can ship your images with an AI Preset to both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC, however, corrections you make in Lightroom CC can't currently be used to improve your Personal AI Preset.

When you’ve finished culling your images, click the SHIP + EDIT button in the top right of Narrative.

Choose the images you want to ship and which catalog you want them imported into. Now, on the right you can choose which AI Preset you want to apply to your images.

Click your chosen AI Preset and then hit the SHIP + PRE-EDIT button at the bottom.

Artist and Personal AI Presets, otherwise known as Pro AI Presets, require credits. Our Narrative AI Presets are entirely free of charge and don't require any credits.

When using an Artist or Personal AI Preset, you'll go through a confirmation screen that will tell you how many credits you'll use and your balance before and after editing.

When using any Pro AI Preset, each image consumes 1 credit. This means if you were to Ship 80 images with a Pro AI Preset, it would require 80 credits. All Narrative users will receive 1000 credits for free to begin editing with!

Next, in the Edit Summary step, click CONFIRM to go ahead with your edits!

Make sure to not close Narrative while your images are being edited in your chosen AI Preset.

After you’ve finished importing into Lightroom you will see your AI Preset automatically applied to your images!

If you'd like to apply an AI Preset without shipping to Lightroom, you can do this by toggling off 'Open in editing program' inside the Shipping menu, next hit the 'PRE-EDIT IMAGES' button at the bottom of the window. Your chosen AI preset will be written on to the XMP sidecar files inside your source folder.

You will only get charged one credit per image, which means you can try multiple AI Presets on the same image for no extra cost!

One thing to note – each time you want to try a different AI Presets on the same image you will need to either Ship to a different LR catalog, or remove them from the existing LR catalog first.
