Getting your catalogs ready for a personalized AI Profile
For a smooth and easy profile creation process, get your Lightroom catalogs ready with these steps:
- Make sure that all of your project photos and folders that you want to upload to Imagen for the teaching process are linked inside your Lightroom catalog. We recommend having Smart Previews built for them too, but it is not required.
- Uniquely Rate/Color/Flag the photos you want to upload to Imagen for the teaching process. Doing this will make your selection process within the Imagen upload screen much easier because you can filter your Lightroom attributes within the Imagen app.
Initial setup of your Personal AI Profile
- Open Imagen and log in
- On the home page, click on the “Add a profile” button” and select “Create your own profile”
- Read our suggested guidelines and our Recommendations for an incredible Personal AI Profile article.
- Name your profile.
Select your profile type (color or black and white).
Select image file type that you usually shoot and wish to edit (RAW or JPEG).
Read more information about profile types in this article. - Your new Personal AI Profile is now ready to be built.
Building your Personal AI Profile
The building process is made of two main steps.
- Uploading your selected project's final edits to your profile:
- Every project you successfully upload will be linked to your AI Profile.
- This process is not limited in time, and you don’t have to upload 3,000 photos at one time. - The training process.
After uploading at least 3,000 edited photos to your Personal AI Profile, you can send the profile to begin the training process.
