Your editing style. Automated. With Narrative, photographers can train a custom AI preset for Lightroom in one click - no technical setup required. Narrative will automatically scan your Lightroom catalogs, learning from the edits you’ve already made.
Narrative detects your distinct editing styles across catalogs and builds a dynamic AI Preset for each style.
Prefer to curate? Select specific catalogs to train on and fine-tune the exact look you want.
Every time you use your AI Preset, Narrative keeps learning, refining your style, and saving you even more editing time.
Unlike standard presets, Narrative’s AI presets adapt to every image - lighting changes, weather shifts, and tricky exposures - while keeping your signature look consistent. You’ll skip the repetitive tweaks and get a professional, cohesive finish across every gallery.
Import thousands of RAWs to Narrative and cull your shoot.
Apply your AI-Preset when Shipping to Lightroom from Narrative.
Your images are edited and show in Lightroom in minutes.
Get a faster, smarter editing process that keeps your creative signature intact and gives you back hours every week.
Because editing should start from your style, not from zero. Narrative applies an AI Preset as you ship to Lightroom, so your selects arrive with white balance, exposure and skin tones already done. Users with an AI Preset report saving 80% of their editing time.
As photographers ourselves, we are obsessive about creating technology that helps you, so you can spend more time doing what you love.
You get unlimited editing during your Ultra trial, so you can test it on a real shoot.
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 1500 images of your choice). Premium includes 1 colour and 1 black and white Personal AI Preset, and Ultra includes up to 5 of each. Each one must be trained on a set of consistently edited images. 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.
Core AI Presets
Another AI Preset option is our Core AI Presets, which now include over six styles designed to suit a range of editing preferences.
A Personal AI Preset learns from your own editing history, so it pre-edits photos the way you would. Batch-edit a whole shoot, arrive in Lightroom with a consistent starting point, and spend your time on the creative tweaks.
It keeps adapting as you tweak your edits in Lightroom. Personal AI Presets are on Premium (one colour, one black and white) and Ultra (five of each).
Unlimited AI editing starts on Standard at $20 a month, billed annually, with Core and Marketplace AI Presets. Personal AI Presets trained on your own edits come with Premium ($40) and Ultra ($60). Lite doesn't include editing. Every plan from Standard up includes unlimited editing, with no per-photo fees.
You can try everything, including Personal AI Presets, free in your Ultra trial. See pricing.
When you've finished culling, click Ship + Edit and choose an AI Preset: one of your Personal AI Presets, an Artist AI Preset or a Core AI Preset. Narrative sends your selects to Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC with the edits applied.
AI Preset edits need Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC. Photoshop and Capture One receive your photos without AI Preset edits.
Yes. Narrative culls and assesses photos on your computer, so it works without internet once it's set up.
Before you go offline, sign in, let Narrative download everything it needs to run offline, and download any AI Presets you want to use. You can then work offline for up to 30 days from your last sign-in. Training a Personal AI Preset needs a connection.
