Training your profile makes it more accurate by aligning it with your latest edits. To keep your profile as close to your style as possible, we recommend uploading your final edits after each project Imagen edits.
You won't see changes in your profile until there are enough edits for training.
Check if your profile is ready
- From the AI Profiles page, click My Profiles.
- Click your profile name.
- Look at the progress bar under Photos included in profile. You need at least 2,000 final edits.
Ready for training? You'll see a Train profile button when you have enough edits.
Not ready yet? Keep uploading final edits after each project. The progress bar shows how many more edits you need.
How to train your profile
- Duplicate your profile as a backup.
- From the AI Profiles page, click My Profiles.
- Click your profile name.
- Click Train profile.
- Wait for training to complete, which is up to 24 hours. You can keep using your profile while it trains.
What is training?
Training updates your Personal AI Profile with new editing information from your uploaded final edits. When you have enough new edits, you can train your profile to include these changes, making it match your style even better.
Think of it like this. Your original Personal AI Profile learned from 2,000-5,000 photos. As you use Imagen and upload your tweaks, you're teaching it about new lighting situations, venues, and ways you refined your style. Training brings all those lessons into your profile.
Understanding your progress bar
Your progress bar shows three types of photos:
- Cyan: Original photos used to create your profile
- Yellow: Final edits you've uploaded
- Dashed yellow: Final edits still needed for training
When the yellow section reaches the end of the dashed yellow section, you're ready to train.
Photos needed for training
Upload half as many edits as you used to create your profile. The minimum is 2,000 edits.
| Original profile photos | Edits needed for training |
| 2,000-4,000 | 2,000 |
| 5,000 | 2,500 |
| 8,000 | 4,000 |
| 12,000 | 6,000 |
To see what you need, go to your AI Profile page. Imagen shows exactly how many more edits you need.
Common questions
Can I use my profile while it's training?
Yes, you can continue using your AI Profile while training runs in the background. Your edits use the current version of your profile until training completes.
What happens after training completes?
Imagen notifies you when training is complete. Your next project automatically uses the trained version of your profile. You don't need to do anything.
Will training change my style completely?
No. Training makes small refinements based on your uploaded edits. It adapts to your evolving style without dramatic changes. Your profile stays true to your core aesthetic.
What if I don't like the newly trained version?
Ask our team. We can help revert to a previous version of your profile if needed.
Do I need to train to keep using my profile?
No. You can continue using your profile without training. However, training helps your profile adapt to your style changes and improves accuracy over time.
Can I train multiple times?
Yes. You can train as many times as you want. Each training session requires uploading the minimum number of new final edits.
Does training cost anything?
No. Training is included with your Imagen subscription at no additional cost.
How long does it take to train my profile?
Training usually takes up to 24 hours, and often finishes sooner. If it's been less than 24 hours, your profile is likely still in progress. Check back soon.
My profile has been "Analyzing" for more than 24 hours. What should I do?
Check your email inbox, including your Spam or Promotions folders. Imagen sends you an email when training completes or if there's an issue with your training photos. If you haven't received anything after 24 hours, ask our team and we'll help you out.
Why didn't my profile finish training?
Training can stall when there's an issue with your photos. The most common causes are unedited photos in your training set, missing Adobe editing metadata, fewer than 2,000 valid edited photos, or inconsistent editing across your dataset. Review your training photos using the tips in What is a Personal AI Profile? and retrain your profile.
