photo culling software that caused a global meltdown across the industry years back, but it’s worth noting that several of my friends who swore by Photo Mechanic also switched to Narrative Select this year.

You can learn more about how to use this feature here. If you’re a wedding photographer or someone who takes a lot of group photos, this function alone makes Narrative Select worth it. Narrative gives you a quick preview of every single face detected in a single photo. Gone are the days of zooming in on a face, checking for closed eyes and goofy faces, zooming out, and then going to the next. If all hope for 20/20 vision has wasted away because you stare at your computer screen culling and editing all day long, Narrative’s got your back. It even gives you a focus score on a scale from 0 to 100.

Photo out of focus? Narrative will flag that too.

Narrative Select flags photos when someone’s eyes are closed, partially closed, and even MID BLINK! Just… How!? People close their eyes when they laugh, and out of focus moments can certainly be powerful ones too. However, I will say that this is not a function I use because closed eyes and out of focus photos aren’t always necessarily a dealbreaker for me. If you want to cull even faster, you can hit the right and left arrows and Narrative Select will automatically skip by any photos it has flagged as having eye and focus issues and only show you the ones that it thinks are the very best. Most notably, you’ll experience absolutely no lag at all as you go from photo to photo, and Narrative Select shares all the same hotkeys that Lightroom does.
