Frequently Asked Questions

Narrative will modernize your workflow as a professional photographer. There’s no risk in trying Narrative, as it’s completely free.

As photographers ourselves, we are obsessive about creating technology that helps you, so you can spend more time doing what you love.

With our bleeding-edge technology and constant product updates, we are confident that Select will cut your culling time in half. You can see a full list of our game-changing features here.

Culling is the process of going through all the images from a shoot and choosing the best ones (the ones you want to edit). By culling, you will get rid of duplicates and objectively bad images and you will save yourself time when it comes to editing.

Culling with a dedicated image selection tool (like Narrative) is very different to culling within your editing program. Narrative is lightning-fast, AI-powered and purpose-built to help you identify and eliminate images that you won’t want to edit.

Any professional photographer who shoots high volumes of images (especially if those images are of people) will benefit from having a dedicated image selection tool.

We have built industry leading AI that detects faces and assesses images.

Our assessments include:

  • Focus assessments to tell you how well your subject is in focus

  • Eye assessments that gives you information about when your subjects eyes are closed (blinking, kissing, looking down, etc)

  • Image assessments to let you know if we think there are other images within a scene that may be better than this one


Our approach is to build AI that empowers you by augmenting your already existing skill set. We don’t think of AI as some magical phenomena that can do your job for you.

We believe that tools using AI can help you to be more efficient and more accurate, but AI should not replace your ability to interpret whether a moment you have captured in a photograph is one worth sharing and celebrating.

Using Narrative, there are no wait times to import or navigate through your photoshoots. You can import thousands of RAWs in seconds.

There are no low res images, no loading bars and thumbnails load immediately. This makes it incredibly fast to flick through your images.

Our image assessments allow you to quickly identify potential picks from your shoot. Filtering by Potential Picks means you only need to look through half of your images to pick a great selection.

Narrative is built from the ground up to save you as much time as possible.

You can use Narrative on both macOS and Windows. View the full systems requirements here.

Narrative supports the following image formats: CR2, CRW, CR3, NEF, NRW, RAF, DNG, RAW, RWL, ARW, RW2, ORF, PEF, FFF, 3FR, JPG.

Narrative supports one click import to edit your shoot in Lightroom Classic (mac and windows) as well as Lightroom CC, Photoshop and Capture One on mac.

Editing with Narrative will modernize your workflow as a professional photographer. There’s no risk in trying Narrative, as you get 1000 free credits to start off with.

As photographers ourselves, we are obsessive about creating technology that helps you, so you can spend more time doing what you love.

In Narrative there are a few different AI Presets that you can use, they are;

Personal AI Presets
This is an AI Preset trained on your edited images (at least 2500 images of your choice), you can have as many Personal AI Presets as you like but they must be of images sets that are consistently edited. Your Personal AI Presets will improve over time as you use them and make additional edits in Lightroom.

Artist AI Presets
These are AI Presets created by influential Photographers that you can use without the need to train. These are readily available as you'd like to use them, and we will be adding even more AI Presets from influential and respected Photographers over time.

Note: Narrative offers one free AI Preset "Light & Bright", which you won't be charged to use.

When you first use edit with Narrative, you start off with 1,000 free credits to use on either your own personal AI Preset, or Artist AI Presets.

1 credit = 1 edited photo.

Once you have used up your credits, you can continue using Narrative for free with our free style. If you wish to use your personal AI Preset, or an Artist AI Preset then there are a number of paid options available to suit your budget, with pay-as-you go or pre-paid credit packs.

Our new editing feature has been built directly into Narrative. Once you're done culling your shoot, simply hit the "Ship" button and you'll see the option to apply your Personal AI Preset or an Artist AI Preset. It's as simple as that.

Yes! You can apply AI Presets without a connection to the internet, however you will need an internet connection to train your Personal AI Preset in advance.
