Review edits in a Lightroom Classic catalog

  • Updated

 

  1. Review your edits:
    • On the Home page, your projects are in the Active Projects area. When the edits are ready, click Review edits.

Or

  • On the Projects page, go to the Active tab. Find your project, and click Review edits.

A preview opens with three edited photos for you to quickly review. Click a photo to zoom in. If you want to try a different profile for free, click Edit again. Or, continue to step 3 to download the edits to your computer.

  1. (High-res photos only) Sometimes, when downloading the edits for high-res photos, it might take a long time. If it takes more than a few minutes to download the edits, close Imagen, reopen it, and then click Review edits.
     
  2. Click Download all edits. Imagen downloads the edit metadata to the same location as your original photos. When your catalog is in its original location, Lightroom Classic opens with your edited images. If Imagen can't locate the relevant catalog, click Browse to find your catalog, and then click Download edits.

     
  3. When the download is complete, click Open LR catalog. Lightroom Classic opens with your edits. If you don't see your edits, see How can I see my edits from Imagen in Adobe software?

Troubleshooting download issues

How long does it take to edit?

Once you upload a project for editing, your photos are edited on our servers. Imagen's editing speed is fast, averaging around 0.33 seconds per photo. For example, a project of 1000 photos will typically take around 5 minutes to complete. The turnaround time may be slightly longer if you use AI tools, like Subject Mask, Straighten, and Crop.

See this video from the Imagen Community that explains how to set up Lightroom Classic so that the edits appear more quickly.

My project download is not available

If you uploaded a project with up to 1,000 photos more than an hour ago, try these steps:

  • If you didn't get an email that your edits are ready, open the Imagen app, and check your project.
  • Open the Imagen app to check if you have any outstanding payments. If this is the case, there is a notification at the top of the screen that we deactivated your account until this issue is resolved.
  • Contact us if the project hasn't been edited or if you need help settling your payment for Imagen. 

How many times can I download my edits?

Your edited project downloads are unlimited and always accessible. To download an edited project again:

  1. Go to the Projects page. See Projects page explained.
  2. Find the relevant project on either the Active or Archive tabs.
  3. Click on the three dots at the end of the row, and choose Download Edits.

How can I roll back the changes to my catalog?

Imagen backs up your catalog each time you download a project. For more information, see Catalog backups by Imagen.
