Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from Imagen. How can I help?

Imagen is incredibly powerful for wedding photography, but the “definitive guide” really depends on your workflow. Here is a solid framework to follow:

  1. Build or choose your editing profile
    1. Start by creating a Personal AI Profile from 3,000+ previously edited wedding photos, or choose a Talent AI Profile that matches your style (e.g., clean, cinematic, airy).
    2. Refine it over time by sending more edited catalogs back to Imagen so the profile keeps learning.
  2. Dial in your Lightroom workflow
    1. Import and back up your RAWs as usual.
    2. Use Imagen for culling (optional) to quickly narrow thousands of images down based on your preferences.
    3. Send the catalog to Imagen so it can apply your profile automatically.
  3. Use Imagen’s culling and preview power
    1. With Imagen’s culling you can:
      1. Set how strict you want it to be on sharpness, eyes open, duplicates, etc.
      2. Review only the best selections instead of every frame.
    2. One of the biggest wins: you can review your selections with your favorite AI profile already applied, so you are seeing nearly-final edits instead of flat RAWs. This massively speeds up decision-making because you are judging real-looking images, not guessing how they might look.
  4. Fine-tune and batch workflows
    1. Once Imagen finishes, open the returned Lightroom catalog.
    2. Do global tweaks first (white balance shifts on a set, exposure nudges on a sequence).
    3. Then handle hero images, retouching, or local adjustments that need your personal touch.
    4. Sync or copy-paste tweaks between similar lighting conditions; Imagen gets you most of the way there so these finishing touches are fast.
  5. Optimize for different wedding parts
    1. Consider separate profiles or at least consistent tweaks for:
      1. Getting ready (often mixed indoor light)
      2. Ceremony (church vs outdoor vs dark venues)
      3. Portraits (soft flattering tones, skin work)
      4. Reception (flash, DJ lights, very low light)
    2. Imagen’s consistency means your overall look stays cohesive even when lighting changes dramatically.
  6. Turnaround and client experience
    1. Because Imagen does most of the heavy lifting, it becomes realistic to:
      1. Deliver sneak peeks within 24 hours
      2. Deliver full wedding galleries in days, not weeks
    2. This speed is a huge differentiator in the wedding market while still maintaining your signature style.
  7. Continuous improvement
    1. After each wedding, clean up a handful of final edits and send them back to Imagen so your profile keeps evolving.
    2. If you find recurring tweaks (for example, always lifting shadows or warming skin), bake those into your profile or into your Lightroom defaults.

If you want a more step‑by‑step walkthrough, there is a video, “Take Your Photo Editing to the Next Level with Imagen,” where walks through reviewing selections with AI profiles applied and adjusting culling preferences. Searching that title on YouTube will surface it.

What part of your wedding workflow do you want the guide to go deepest on: culling, consistent style, or speeding up delivery?
