As it is, it might be nice to keep around to point at such folders, but I suspect I will stick with PM for rapid ingest.AfterShoot is another AI photo culling software that promises to save your time by helping choose the best images for you.īy using AI, AfterShoot can automatically cull entire galleries of thousands of photos by detecting blurry photos, finding duplicates, subjects with closed eyes and even out of focus images.Īlthough you’re still in full control of the photo culling process, AfterShoot does an effective job at choosing which photos it deems as ‘keepers’ – i.e. If I was shooting people often, I’d probably use this as my first line of culling. The face detection features look quite nice, though. So unlike PM, you can’t start culling immediately, especially if you have a large shoot.

Furthermore, NS appears to finish copying before beginning any preview generation or analysis. Narrative Select ONLY does images, so if you’ve got video or something else you want to pull off the card, you’ve got to remember to do it.

PhotoMechanic will happily copy every single file from your card into the destination, whether it knows what to do with it or not (e.g. The ingesting leaves something to be desired.

Yes, the pro features are limited only if you do more than 6 projects a month and these seem to be more or less limited to AI type things: detecting similar images for “scenes” and looking at eye and face focus. I installed it so I can answer some of the questions I asked above. Tickets, class schedule, instructor list, and more at this link. Today I’m tea ching my “Lightroom Crash Course” Pre-conference session for The Lightroom Conference which officially kicks off tomorrow. Sigh).Īnyway, ya’ll have a kick-butt Monday! 🙂

Anyway, these are just my first impressions, but t’s worth giving it a quick look if thumbnail and preview speed is an issue.ĭon’t forget – tomorrow is Part 4 of my series called “Photoshop for Lightroom Users” which has been going over like a lead balloon (not a single comment on any of them so far.

Here’s the link to learn more, and download either their free version or the paid version (you do have to give them a verifiable email, but you knew that was coming, right?). If I’ve got more time, I just wait for Lightroom to mosey through my import, but when speed matters, I think the free version of Narrative Select might be just the ticket. I don’t use a 3rd party application like this for culling every single shoot – just ones where I need to find the best images quickly, or one where I need a particular image and don’t want to do a whole import. All you have to do is click the Import Button and just those picked images now appear in Lightroom. The way I use it is to quickly go through my shoot, make my Picks (you tag them by hitting the letter “T” same as you would in Photo Mechanic), and then when you’re done tagging your Picks, you can “Ship” these images directly over to Lightroom’s import window (see above). It does have some cool features that PM doesn’t have, like a close-up panel that lets you see zoomed-in image detail even closer than a full-size preview, and it can do Eye and focus assessments so you can see which ones aren’t sharp so you don’t waste time when doing your initial culling (though that last part is limited in the free version). It’s very much like a stripped-down version of Photo Mechanic with all its speed and lightning-fast previews (but of course, it doesn’t have many of Photo Mechanic’s more advanced features). That’s why I’m so intrigued with a relatively new program called “Narrative Select.” I ran across it this weekend totally by chance, downloaded the FREE version, and I have to say – it works great thus far. Just about every sports shooter I know uses it because when you’re on a deadline covering games you’ll never hit your deadline if you wait for Lightroom to pokily draw your thumbnails and large previews.

No “Loading” message – It’s lightning-fast. I can drag any folder of Raw images onto it and boom – big large size previews on-screen that appear as fast as I can hit my right-arrow key. That’s why I paid $150 for Photo Mechanic – a separate program that lets me see my imported images really fast. If LIghtroom has an Achilles Heel, it’s the speed in which not only thumbnails appear after importing a shoot, but more importantly how long you have to wait to see a large size preview.
