Key features	Personal AI editing profile trained on a photographer's own past Lightroom edits AI culling that flags the sharpest, best shots from a large batch Pay-as-you-go per-photo pricing alongside flat monthly subscription options AI color grading tools extended to videographers, not only photographers Batch processing across full shoots rather than image-by-image editing	Scene-aware AI detecting photo genre (portrait, landscape, birds, pets) Genre-specific automatic corrections, not generic auto-enhance Local processing - no cloud upload required Plugin support for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Apple Photos Explicitly no generative AI - correction only, nothing added or invented
Pros	Learns an individual photographer's editing style instead of applying one generic preset AI culling cuts down the time spent picking the best shots from a large shoot Pay-as-you-go pricing means occasional users aren't locked into a flat subscription	Explicit no-generative-AI stance is a genuine trust signal for professional/documentary use Local processing keeps images entirely on the user's device Plugin support fits into existing Photoshop/Lightroom workflows
Cons	Per-photo pricing can add up fast for photographers shooting high-volume events Built specifically around Lightroom Classic, less useful for photographers on other editors AI-applied style still needs spot-checking on tricky lighting or mixed-shoot conditions	Workflows (genre packs) may need to be purchased separately depending on need Correction-only AI won't help with removing or adding elements to a photo Scene detection accuracy depends on how clearly a photo fits one of the defined genres
Company	Imagen AI, founded 2020	Radiant Photo
