What is Smart Face Zoom?
You can zoom straight into a face just by tapping the spacebar - making checking your subject’s face super quick. No more dragging around to get to your subject’s face while you’re zoomed into an image!
What is Ship to Editing Program?
With this feature, you can send your selected images directly to Lightroom or Capture One with a single click. The meta data (ratings) of the image from Narrative Select will appear inside your chosen editing program.
What is the Close-ups Panel?
Put simply, the Close-ups Panel shows you close-up crops of all the faces detected in an image.
The Close-ups Panel sits beside your image while culling, so you can see closeup details and the full picture, at the same time.
There are 3 different modes you can use the Close-ups panel in:
- Face Finder Mode - This automatically detects all the faces within one image and displays them in an easy to view manor for super quick culling. This is great for culling group shots!
- Individual Face Lock Mode - Where you can “lock on” to 1 or more faces and quickly breeze between a series of similar images while keeping your main subject’s face at the center of attention.
- Zoom Lock Mode - Where you can “lock on” to any area within the image - face or no face!
What are Focus Assessments?
Focus Assessments appear below your subject’s faces as a curved line icon. They give you information about how well that person is in focus. A red line means that your subject’s face is out of focus. A yellow line means the focus may be suboptimal so you might want to check if you’re unsure.
What are Eye Assessments?
Eye Assessments appear below your subject’s faces as an eye icon. They let you know the state of the subject’s eyes. A red eye means that your subject is blinking. A yellow eye means your subject may be squinting or have partially closed eyes.
What are Image Assessments?
First Pass Image Assessments manifest as little hexagons – blue (potential picks), grey (unlikely picks) and red (undesirable picks) – to let you know if we think there are other images (within a group of similar images) that may be better than this one. You can choose to filter straight to your potential picks so you only have to look through about half of your images.
What is Scene Detection?
Narrative Select groups similar images from your shoot into ‘scenes’. This allows you to:
- Navigate quickly between scenes with a single keyboard shortcut
- Cycle through all the images in a single scene helping you to narrow down to the best
- Select an entire scene from your shoot for rating or rejection
