Imagen AI edits, culls, and retouches photos while learning a photographer’s preferred style.
Imagen is a desktop photo post-production tool for professional photographers, studios, and agencies. It applies personalized edits, culls images, processes batches, and provides retouching, masking, cropping, storage, and export tools.
The app supports Mac and Windows and offers an API for business workflows. A free trial includes 1,000 edits. Pay-as-you-go charges by use, while tools such as culling, cloud storage, and some AI adjustments may cost extra depending on the plan.
