Great video. I’ve tried ImagenAI and my only complaint is that there aren’t profiles geared towards African skin tones/weddings. Majority of the profiles are light and airy and of the ones I’ve tried for my weddings, they don’t work well. It would be great if they’d offer a bit more diversity as far as their talent profiles are concerned.
@@trevorgomo Its possible but you have to submit 5000 images. Personally, I don't have 5000 consistent wedding edits to submit for them to create my own personal profile.
You now have the option to create a Personal AI Profile with just 3000 photos. We are looking to build out our Talent AI Profiles this year so there will definitely be more options. You currently have the option to re-edit a project for free with the Talent AI Profiles up to 5 times so you can find out if there are any styles that work for you.
Thank you for this! I already use Imagen Ai voor editting, but I still don't understand the culling part with the stars. You select only the 4 and the 5 stars, but what are the 1,2,3 stars then?
No, you can select whatever you want. Around the 4:20 mark you can see the left side of the interface explaining how the starts will be distributed, but obviously that's a wider selection and you're most likely not going to be interested in anything below 4 stars. The good thing is that if you don't trust it, you can filter by 1 or 2 or 3 stars to view just those, and manually give them a 4 or 5 star rating if you think the AI algorithm has missed an important shot.
Wouldn't Lightroom do the same thing as this software does? Like, just select any star group you have made and select all pictures with auto sync on, and it will automatically edit all the pictures within a few minutes.
It's very different actually. We look at each photo individually (.33 seconds each) and determine what is needed for each photo to get from A - Z based on the editing style.
Just signed up with aftershoot for $399 per year lifetime price for both editing and culling - no brainer for me personally, as I know so many togs on Imagen who have spent 4 times as much over a wedding season. Both though are absolute game changers, and I can say with Aftershoot edits that it is totally on point with my own preset as well as crop, straightening, wb & exposure. Colour me impressed!!
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto so is it similar that you can resync your changes to Imagen to train the AI? This seems like it could be really good as the features in Lightroom like survey mode and such are developed already. I’m currently liking Narrative select, would love one of these companies to merge haha
Honestly it's pretty tight for comparison now even though Imagen is still in Beta for culling. It's come a long ways in a short time. If you prefer Lightroom for your workflow, Imagen is very nice since most things happen in there.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Thank you! I've been following your process and been using aftershoot then imagen. Now if this new imagen feature is as or almost as good as aftershoot, would definitely use it as it's such an easier workflow. One thing I like in aftershoot is that it allows you to see all the duplicated images and allow you select the one you like instead of the one chosen by AI.
I downloaded AfterShoot as well as Imagen AI. Can you put together a tutorial of how to use BOTH cohesively? I'm having a hard time importing the catalog from AS to Imagen...
Both of them are supporting culling and editing as one program soon. So this will be sorted out soon. Until then, I used Photo Mechanic to transfer in between. I think it comes with a 30 day trial which might buy the time until both companies offer both services
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Copy that. I went ahead and culled in AS and am pulling out my hairs trying to get Imagen to accept the images AS just culled. You'd think this was easier...
Hi, thank you for sharing your video. I just used Imagen AI to edit a full wedding and once I exported the photos out of lightroom they were of a low resolution compared to my regular edits. Have you come across this issue?
I photograph events and use a different style than photo shoots and weddings. Can I use the software for both or will that ruin the whole AI learning part?
Amen.. have been using IAi for awhile now, the culling is OK, but still not as good as Aftershoot. However, as you pointed out, straightening is a massive game changer.
Oh this would be incredible. I know nothing of development, but I suspect it's something on their radar. Another dream would be a system that would identify and pull the best stills from videos. So you just drop the footage on the app, and it kicks you out everything worth having in 4K jpgs or TIFFs. Could go very video heavy at weddings and never worry about not having the stills.
@@lenleyhunte Definitely contact our Customer Success team if you're experiencing an issue. We have team members around the world so someone is always available to help.
I can give clients their images even faster. Shoot dual cards and when the wedding is over I give them a SD card with their images. Sometimes I'm off on my exposure and I get bad reviews so I change my company name about once a month.🤪
I use imagen to lower the photography quotes for the wedding. It’s amazing. I argue with the photographers once they mention they can send the photos fast. Then I asked them why I am paying this much for AI service. Then I called someone else who was willing to do it for less

Are you able to create your own profile and have it edit according to that?
@@trevorgomo Its possible but you have to submit 5000 images. Personally, I don't have 5000 consistent wedding edits to submit for them to create my own personal profile.
Try John branch iv profiles.

@@ImagenAI That is great news and helpful. I would definitely like to explore the re-edit option to see how it works as well the result.
Have been looking into Imagen for this coming wedding season. (prior to this video) Does look pretty good!
It's changed a lot of peoples workflows dramatically. For sure worth giving it a shot to see if it works for you.
Out of all the AI editing I’ve tried I’m the most impressed with Imagen so far! Even if it saves me a few hours per wedding that’s a huge win
Great video! Can you share this L-shape mount for the action cam? Looks like great tool.
Great stuff...Imagen is fantastic! I use it whenever doing events..worth every cent!
Thank you!
Wow 🤯 can’t wait to try it out!
It was good like 8 months ago but it’s incredible now
Don’t have any weddings now until April but used Imagen last year, looks even better now!
See you in Glasgow at Thrive next month dude
Wooo! See you there!

Amazing :-)
Does images work with capture one?

It's very different actually. We look at each photo individually (.33 seconds each) and determine what is needed for each photo to get from A - Z based on the editing style.
I cant upload my photos because it says "they were not edited" ?
There should be a check box you can select them with
The pricing on the website is based on total final edits - this price includes culling of the raws or that’s an additional cost?
Culling is currently 100% free while in beta.
WOOHOO Shoutout 🙂
HELLO SCOTT. Sorry I didn't include any myspace references in this video. Next time.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto or carrots

Excited have you onboard. Edits is available in Public Beta now, so anyone can test it out.
Taylor, how do you compare this to Aftershoot culling? Is the process different in how they approach it?
This is in Lightroom. So it’s a bit different. For actual quality of selections, they’re both pretty similar in my experience
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto so is it similar that you can resync your changes to Imagen to train the AI?
This seems like it could be really good as the features in Lightroom like survey mode and such are developed already.

Hi Taylor. What do mean when you say send pictures to 'the vendors'? How?
Hair stylist, cake maker, venue, etc
Nice video! Unrelated question: what are you using to attach your action camera to your camera? Thanks
How does the culling compare to aftershooy? And does it have features to deal with duplicate and similar shots?
Honestly it's pretty tight for comparison now even though Imagen is still in Beta for culling. It's come a long ways in a short time. If you prefer Lightroom for your workflow, Imagen is very nice since most things happen in there.

One thing I like in aftershoot is that it allows you to see all the duplicated images and allow you select the one you like instead of the one chosen by AI.
They have definitely made some improvement since I last tried them!
Always :-)
Capture One version coming soon right?!?!?!?
I hear from them that it's in development!
It's in active development :-)
Is there any way it can choose black & white edits too? Or is it still colour only? Been a while since I tried Imagen...
So you still have to pick the images? Or are the stars magic? Does 58 minutes include all the pre picks?
Here I was ready to quit weddings since doing it as a side gig was too taxing on my time. This is legit awesome.
How do you edit the skin tones and then apply your other AI edits?
I downloaded AfterShoot as well as Imagen AI. Can you put together a tutorial of how to use BOTH cohesively? I'm having a hard time importing the catalog from AS to Imagen...

Hi, thank you for sharing your video. I just used Imagen AI to edit a full wedding and once I exported the photos out of lightroom they were of a low resolution compared to my regular edits. Have you come across this issue?
Probably export settings used or maybe that the files weren’t connected and it was exporting off of smart previews?
Mexico is really cool. I met Zorro there.
Geez You have free time to go party!
I photograph events and use a different style than photo shoots and weddings. Can I use the software for both or will that ruin the whole AI learning part?
If the editing style you have for one versus the other is different than you could create multiple Personal AI Profiles.
Culling still hasn't shown up in mine. That's a shame.
Maybe send support a message and ask about it
Read this as eating a wedding
Amen.. have been using IAi for awhile now, the culling is OK, but still not as good as Aftershoot. However, as you pointed out, straightening is a massive game changer.
Does aftershoot not have straightening?
Aftershoot wasn’t very good for me. Let’s see how this works.
I love your humor 😂
super cool
Cool. When will Imagen do ai VIDEO edits
Oh this would be incredible. I know nothing of development, but I suspect it's something on their radar.
Another dream would be a system that would identify and pull the best stills from videos. So you just drop the footage on the app, and it kicks you out everything worth having in 4K jpgs or TIFFs. Could go very video heavy at weddings and never worry about not having the stills.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto I think eventually that will be the future of stills. Freeze frames from video.
When do you deliver the whole wedding gallery then?
Like 3 weeks
Security! Such a great reason to cull and edit for destination weddings. Such great advice.
Now the price per photo is getting attractive for low/medium-budget photographers.
i tried it but says download failed ..so no luck on my end
Weird. Maybe try another browser.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto ok thanks.. I will do
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto to clarify the edited images that says download failed and not the app download

I lost my job because of Imagen and other AI tools. Now I am jobless. I have been working as a Post production specialist for the past 8 years.
