Impossible Things Review – Lightroom Workshops

The Impossible Things AI Photo Editor is a versatile and powerful tool that aims to revolutionize photo editing with its AI-driven capabilities. Created by educators, SLR Lounge and preset makers DVLOP, It comes with a range of features, including Lightroom Native integration, support for user presets, cloud styles, unlimited reedits, fast bulk editing, and an easy setup process. In this review, we’ll delve into the pros and cons of this photo editor to help you decide whether it’s the right fit for your editing needs.

Impossible Things Pros

Let’s start with the pros of Impossible Things.

Lightroom Native

One of the standout features of the Impossible Things AI Photo Editor is its seamless integration with Lightroom. The AI is built as a Lightroom plugin, so users never leave Lightroom during the entire process. The user selects the images to edit, runs the plugin, selects the style, and the images are then edited live. For professionals with thousands of images to edit, this fast workflow is a major advantage.

Use with Any Presets

The next major pro of Impossible Things is its integration with Lightroom Presets. It works with presets you already purchased or made yourself so you don’t have to compromise your personal editing style to fit a predetermined style. If you’re using your own presets, you’ll need to use custom tuning for the best results. However, if you’re using DVLOP or Visual Flow presets, they will already be tuned and ready to use.

Cloud Styles Available

If users want to use the styles of popular photographers like Two Mann Studios, Jose Villa or Ben Chrisman, then they can choose from a selection of “cloud styles.” This is ideal for photographers who either don’t have a predetermined style or want to experiment with various styles.

Unlimited Reedits

The AI Photo Editor allows unlimited reedits within a 24 hour perior. This means you can revisit your edited photos and make further adjustments without any restrictions, enabling you to fine-tune your images until they meet your exact vision.

Good to Great Results

Now let’s talk about the most important factor when choosing an AI Photo Editor, the results. The results, for the most part, are accurate. Of course, any AI will make some mistakes here and there, but in our testing the results were impressive, getting the color, exposure, temperature, and other factors correct for the vast majority of the images tested. Below is an example from a travel photo.

Editing Speed and Efficiency

This program is built by and for wedding and portrait photographers with a large number of images to edit. The AI-powered processing efficiently handles multiple photos simultaneously, speeding up the editing process significantly.

In addition, setting up the AI Photo Editor is a breeze, even for those with limited technical expertise. Its user-friendly interface ensures a smooth onboarding process, getting you up and running in no time. Similar AI programs require extensive training, submitting catalogs with thousands of pre-edited photos, and more. With this one, you can get started within 15 minutes.

Impossible Things Cons

Of course, we can’t talk about the pros without mentioning some of the Cons.

Only Works with RAW Files

A notable limitation of the Impossible Things AI Photo Editor is its exclusive compatibility with RAW files. While RAW offers excellent image quality and flexibility, it may restrict users who primarily work with other file formats such as JPEG or HEIC.

No Culling

Unfortunately, the AI Photo Editor lacks culling capabilities, which means photographers will have to use a separate tool for the initial selection and sorting of images before moving on to the editing process. However, this is a feature they may add in the future.

No Unlimited Pricing

Impossible Things charges on a per image basis (as of the time or writing this article). It currently does not have an unlimited pricing option. This might be a drawback for photographers who edit a vast number of images regularly, such as high volume studios, as it could lead to higher costs.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Impossible Things AI Photo Editor brings a wealth of impressive features to the table. Its seamless integration with Lightroom and support for various presets make it a highly flexible and efficient editing tool. The inclusion of cloud styles and the ability to perform unlimited reedits further enhance its appeal.

However, the restriction to RAW files might be a downside for photographers who work with different file formats. Additionally, the absence of culling and the lack of an unlimited pricing option may not align with the needs of some professional photographers.

To get started, they are offering 500 free edit credits.
