This piece of software is so, so, so helpful. So much easier than importing everything to Lightroom (slow import), then trying to cull in Lightroom (slow process again)..... The ability to see faces up close in the side panel is one of my favourite features of all - you get a closer look at expressions, critical focus etc. Really valuable software that I've been happily using for several months.
Is there anything for sports photography? I volunteer at the high school for most sports. Would be nice to find a way to save time when you have hundreds of shots.
how much time do you think you save using Select compared to your previous culling methods? Do you find that you're still spending just as much time looking at all of the rejects to see if you want to keep any?
I’d say I’m probably 25-30% faster? Maybe more. It’s really the hardest ones like group photos that I get bogged down on where this software really makes things fly.
@@KevinBjorke I don't think it encourages this at all... spray & pray will just eat up extra time.... It allows faster assessment of the image from several parameters at a glance and that's the power of the software. Most times there is no need to be zooming in or panning around an image trying to see various things. You can see the full image and still have closeups of faces for critical focus all on screen simultaneously... that's where time gets saved.
Whenever I'm trying to go to the next image, and I click the right arrow it automatically jumps to the next "scene" how do I stop it from doing that? I want it to go to the next photo not the next scene.

Cool video, always looking for ways to speed up my workflow.
BENJ! I searched for a tutorial on Narrative, randomly clicked on this video and YOU made it?! Love it! HI! Appreciate you sharing all this gold!
Haha yes!

Pretty cool
This is both amazing and very sad at the same time!
Can this software use raw files?
It does. What do you mean by sad though?

@@benjhaisch SO... does it encourage you to spray-&-pray since it'll give you better odds?
Haha not for me, but I think that could end up being a possible upside/downside

Love the idea of Narrative ... wish it wasn't Mac only! *sob*
I maybe late but it has now a Windows version if you check it on their website.

left/right arrows switch scenes, up/down arrows switch images within the scene.
Can this be used to send the photo into Capture One?
I don't see why not! You make the selections and star them so you can then find those starred photos and import
