Imagen is compatible with Lightroom Classic but also supports:

This guide covers uploading and downloading projects when the source photos are from Lightroom, Photoshop, or Bridge.

Keep in mind

Imagen doesn’t change or overwrite the original photos. It updates the edit metadata for each photo to match your AI profile. See this guide for more information about how this works.
When you upload a project, you set the location of your photos on your computer. When you download the edit metadata, Imagen downloads it to this location, and your photos are edited.
If you must move your photos, before you download the edits, make sure to browse to their new location. This way, the edit metadata will align correctly with your photos.
Your photos must be stored locally on your computer or on an external hard drive. They can’t be stored in the cloud.

Upload a project

From the Projects tab, click Create a new project. Then, choose Edit.
Choose the editing software you use.
If you only have the option to choose a Lightroom Classic catalog, see Switch between Adobe editing software in this guide.

If you don't see the list of supported software, see this troubleshooting guide.
Choose the folder where your photos are located. Imagen supports uploading JPEG, TIFF, or RAW files. Hover over the (!) next to RAW formats to see all supported file types.
Drag and drop the folder containing the photos, or click Browse to find them. Do not move the photos from this location until you've reviewed your edits and finalized your project.
Name your project, and choose your AI Profile and the photography type.

The AI tools available are tailored to the photography type you choose.
(As needed) Choose the AI tools for your project. Hover over each AI tool to see a GIF of how it works.
Click Continue to upload your photos and start editing.

Once the edits are ready, click Download to review.

The Download edits window opens.
Check the download path. By default, it's the same folder as the original photos. If you moved your photos, click Browse to set their new location. Your photos must be stored locally on your computer or on an external hard drive. They can’t be stored in the cloud.
Click Download edits. Imagen downloads the edit metadata to the folder in the Folder path.
Click Next.
Choose your Adobe editing software.

If you choose Photoshop or Bridge, you might be prompted to update Camera Raw.

Your edited photos open in the software you chose. For photos in RAW format, Imagen creates a sidecar XMP file in the same folder as the original photos. For photos in JPEG and DNG format, the XMP information is embedded, so you won't see the sidecar files. For more information about seeing your edits, see one of these guides:

On the page to select your Lightroom Catalog, at the bottom left of the page, click the Click here link to select a different software.
