412: Ron and Yotam – Utilising AI to massively reduce photography editing times

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Ron Oren and Yotam Gil of ImagenAI are two of three guys behind this new artificial intelligent photo editing software which I'm sure will become part of the domestic photographer's workflow sooner rather than later. I'd heard about Artificial Intelligent photo culling and editing sometime last year – there was some interesting chatter about it in Facebooks groups, but I hadn't heard much since then. Then recently, I was in an email exchange with US-based photographer Zoe Larkin, who has embraced this technology and has recorded tutorials on her YouTube channel here and here. She told me the app she is using, ImagenAI, does the image editing outside of LR using a profile it has on you, then you download those edits to your LR catalogue. I asked Zoe to come on the podcast, but the timing wasn't great, but she did say… This technology is here to stay and will have a huge impact on our industry. And it's all happening right now. Exciting! Following that exchange, I've been able to get some time with the app's founders, and I'm rapt to share this interview. The marketing blurb about ImagenAI describes it as AI-powered photo edit software that captures your editing style DNA and creates unique profiles that can instantly be applied to Lightroom projects.
