Neurapix is a new start-up from Goettingen in Germany that has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) known as the SmartPreset. It learns from previously edited images and can apply the individual's editing style to new photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic at lightning speed. This is particularly beneficial for photographers who frequently shoot large events such as weddings, as it allows for significant time savings.

Neurapix recently released their plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic.

General

The SmartPreset, as opposed to a traditional static preset for Lightroom, is based on artificial intelligence. This allows the SmartPreset to understand and learn from a photographer's individual editing style through his/her past edits. As a result, it can consistently apply the learned style to future images in Lightroom, especially in various lighting situations. This capability was previously only achievable through tedious manual slider adjustments. The SmartPreset is able to quickly set all necessary sliders for a specific editing style, resulting in a significant time savings of around 90% for photographers. Despite this automation, photographers still maintain full control over the editing process and have the ability to fine-tune the slider values as needed for their RAW files. Additionally, the SmartPreset regularly analyzes post-processing corrections and continually improves its understanding of how final images should appear.

In mid-January, the Gottingen-based company announced that it can now process 1,000 images per minute using a SmartPreset.

PhotoRumours readers will get 2,000 free image edits if they register via that link. After that, the cost is $0.03 per photo. For example, the editing of 500 images from a wedding would typically cost only $15.

To get there is very easy: After installing the Neurapix plugin, the photographer selects all photos from an unedited photo event in Adobe Lightroom Classic and click on “Create SmartPreset” via the menu (Library > Plug-in Extras) and selects “Kickstart”. The Neurapix algorithm then automatically selects 20 representative images for the event, encompassing a wide range of lighting situations and settings. In the background, all event photos are already being uploaded to the secured Neurapix server.

The photographer now edits the 20 representative photos in his/her own style and then clicks on "Kickstart" again. After naming their style (the future name of the SmartPreset), the 20 edited images are uploaded. On the Neurapix server, all event photos are then edited in the newly learned style and ready for download in just a few minutes. After potential manual corrections, the photo event is ready for use.

Reduce your photo editing time in Lightroom by 90%

Do you want to shoot more and edit less? Spend more time with your family, friends, and the things you really like? Or maybe expand your photo business? Then this AI plugin can revolutionize your workflow. The more pictures you have to edit and deliver in a short time for your clients, the more valuable it gets!

German company Neurapix has developed artificial intelligence that is able to learn your individual image editing style from previously edited images and apply it within Adobe Lightroom Classic. This allows you to have large numbers of photos edited in your own style at lightning speed, resulting in significant time savings of 90%.

One of the things photographers like most about Neurapix: it is seamlessly integrated into their classic workflow. You don't have to switch to another software but only install the Neurapix plugin via the Adobe Store once you have opened your account. After that, every single step happens within Adobe Lightroom Classic. The only difference to your old workflow: you select a dynamic SmartPreset instead of your static preset.

Consistency is key: Why SmartPresets have an edge over normal presets

The SmartPreset, as opposed to a traditional preset for Lightroom Classic, is based on artificial intelligence. This allows it to understand the situation and conditions the image was taken in. As a result, it can apply a very consistent look in your individually trained style - especially in various lighting situations! Previously, this was only achievable through tedious manual slider adjustments.

Despite this automation, you still maintain full control over the editing process and have the ability to fine-tune the slider values as needed for your RAW files. Manual adjustments are relatively rare though.

Train your AI with only 20 edited images!

Neurapix has just released a new AI training option called "Kickstart" which allows you to get your own SmartPreset even faster in only a few minutes. After installing the Neurapix plugin, you upload all photos from an event that you want to edit through the "Kickstart" feature. An algorithm analyzes the event and selects 20 representative images, encompassing a wide range of different lighting situations and settings.

You then edit those 20 photos in the style you want (you can also easily create unlimited new SmartPresets very quickly this way). Neurapix will analyze your style and apply it to all other pictures of your photo event. You will receive your results in just a few minutes. After potential manual corrections, your event is ready for use and with one more click, you can finalize your SmartPreset.

The more often you use your SmartPreset, the better it will get in understanding your editing style. Feel free to give feedback on the results and your AI will be re-trained regularly.

Fair pricing and a maximum of flexibility

The AI training to create your personal SmartPreset is always free, as are regular improvements made to it by the Neurapix AI. Additionally, each user is provided with three free default SmartPresets for direct use. More SmartPresets from top photographers can be found in the Neurapix Store. The first 1,000 edits (regular test phase) are always free as well.

After the test period, you can choose between two pricing options. With the "Pay-per-Picture" model you only pay for the photos you edit ($0.03 per picture for the first 1,000 per month, afterward only $0.02). If you shoot a lot of events, the "AI Flat Rate" might be the even better choice for you: Get unlimited edits and your photos in real-time for a capped amount of money (annual deal for $49.95 per month, or monthly rate of $79.95 which can be canceled at any time). Processing will be done locally on your own PC, if you decide on this option.

Neurapix also offers automatic and complimentary straightening of all photos, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of pictures. The new straightening function saves you even more time and comes at $0.01 per photo if you're using the Pay-per-Picture option. In the AI Flat Rate, straightening is included.

Real-time editing and data security guaranteed

You will be impressed by Neurapix's lightning speed: If you're using the Pay-per-Picture option, your images will be uploaded to the company's servers and be edited with a speed of 600 images per minute! By the way, data security is a top priority for Neurapix: All photos transferred for AI training and editing are processed exclusively on Neurapix's own servers in Germany, ensuring the security of all client data. All processes are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Users of the "AI Flat Rate" get their edited images even faster because all processing is done locally on the photographer's computer so they are independent of upload and download times as well as server capacities. After 20 to 30 seconds, the first few pictures are edited already and you can start your final review right away while the rest of your photos is continuing to be edited.

"At Neurapix, we want to make life easier for photographers," says Simon Diegmann, co-founder and CEO of Neurapix. "We know from them that editing events is very a time-consuming and often tedious task. Neurapix is like a personal editing assistant, but better, faster, and available 24:7. Your SmartPreset delivers your edited photos in exactly the style you want. Also, we're giving photographers a maximum of flexibility offering the different pricing options so they can choose what fits best for them."
