Andy, a professional wedding photographer

He just finished a wedding photoshoot.

CHALLENGE

His next tasks are:

1. selecting great shoots quickly from massive photos he just took, and

2. making selected photos look great with a minimum effort, but the autotune doesn’t work correctly for different skin colors nor the bride’s white gauze which typically in the extreme end of exposure histogram, so does the bridegroom’s dark suit.

VALUE PROP

1. AI detects ‘out of focus’ photos and suggests flagging those as rejected.

2. AI recognizes the bride’s white gauze in photos and suggests optimizing those.

3. Users can preview suggestions and edit adjustments before applying.

4. Users can always see the history of applied suggestions and reverse or edit as all adjustments are non-destructive.

1-1: Launch

Andy launches Lr CC and sees his latest photos imported earlier.

1-2: Contextual FTU

Andy is notified by a popup tooltip about AI-powered suggestions relevant to his work.

Personalization

The FTU message is personalized according to users’ content. In Andy’s case, 3 top suggestions are contextual to his latest wedding photoshoot. A landscape photographer would see suggestions relevant to landscape items, and so on.

2-1: AI Suggestions Panel

Since the suggestions look relevant to his works, Andy clicks the Suggestions icon out of curiosity and see all suggestions in the panel.

2-2: Preview

The first suggestion is about automated filtering. Andy clicks the Preview button and all ‘out of focus’ focus photos are shown.

2-3: Advanced Editing

Andy clicks the Advanced Edit icon and sees more options for this automation.

3-1: Editing

Rather than flagging ‘out of focus’ photos as rejected, Andy may want to set those focused and clear photos as 1 star. He clicks the Set option and chooses the opposite photos.

3-2: Intelligent Reaction

Andy sees the suggested action becomes setting as 1 star.

Apply & Result

Andy decides to use the flag feature. He clicks the Apply button and sees the result that all ‘out of focus’ photos are flagged as rejected and filtered out of the preview screen. Now he can focus on choosing the best shots without noises from ‘out of focus’ ones.

5-1: History Panel

Andy notices the Recently Applied label at the bottom of the Suggestions panel turning on after applying the suggestion.

5-2: Latest Suggestion

Andy clicks the label and sees the applied suggestion that he just did.

Micro-Interaction

• Users can drag the division line to enlarge the section in the panel too.

• Clicking the label to show the first/latest applied suggestion.

5-3: Review

Andy also notices the View icon when the mouse cursor hovering on the cell. He clicks and sees those photos.

Error Handling

If the photos that have been applied suggestions were removed, a message should be shown.

Reserved as Adjustment Brush

Andy applied all suggestions including ‘optimizing bride’s white gauze’. In one of the photos, he sees the suggested adjustments are reflected in an Adjustment Brush. He clicks the brush anchor and can edit the applied adjustments there.

Customizable automation for unique needs

Andy can creates the automation services workflow according to his aesthetic preferences.
