Learn From My Edits (Beta)

What is “Learn From My Edits (Beta)” in Impossible Things?

Learn From My Edits (Beta) is a new feature in Impossible Things that allows the plug-in to learn and adapt to your personal editing style. Instead of applying a fixed look, Impossible Things now studies the way you tweak photos — developing a smarter, more personalized editing model over time.

There’s no minimum or maximum number of images required. You can learn from just a few photos or from large batches. The learning process only takes a moment, and your custom learning profile is securely synced with — and backed up to — your Impossible Things account in the cloud.

Impossible Things doesn’t just learn your overall editing style. It also learns how your adjustments vary across different shooting scenarios and different cameras, allowing it to adapt to your unique preferences as it encounters more images.

How It Works

Edit your photos in Lightroom Classic using Impossible Things.
Start by running Edit Photos through the plug-in.
Adjust or refine the results however you like.
Make your normal corrections to finalize the edit.
Run “Learn from My Edits (Beta)”.
Go to:
File > Plug-in Extras > Impossible Things > Learn from My Edits (Beta)
Click Learn in the dialog.
Impossible Things analyzes your final adjustments and updates your personalized editing model.

That’s it — your preferences are now incorporated into future edits.

Important Note: Learning Is Global (Not Preset-Specific)

When Impossible Things learns from your edits, it updates a global personalized editing model.

This tuning affects all future edits, regardless of which preset you choose.

Because of this:

If switching to a different preset gives unexpected or unintended results, this is normal.
That preset may need preset-specific tuning.

To correct this, you can use:

Custom Tuning – manually tweak how that preset behaves
Auto-Tune – automatically adapt the preset to your learned style

Both options are found in the Preset Tuning menu inside the plug-in.

In short:

Learn from My Edits improves your overall style,

and Preset Tuning fine-tunes individual presets.

Tips for Best Results

Start small

Begin with a small batch of edits (10–20), then learn from a slightly larger set (30–50).

After that, you can learn from any size collection. Results improve steadily as the system learns from more photos.

Do not switch presets after the initial Impossible Things edit

Changing to a different preset after Impossible Things has already edited the image may send confusing signals to the learning engine.

Always begin with Impossible Things, then make manual adjustments.

Only selected, Impossible Things–edited images are learned

Impossible Things will only learn from images that:

You have selected, and
Were originally processed using Edit Photos

Unedited photos or photos edited entirely by hand are automatically skipped.

Only learn from images you have finalized

Make sure the images you select for learning are ones you’ve already reviewed and corrected.

This ensures the system learns your intended editing preferences.

Images cannot be learned twice (unless re-edited)

To learn from the same photo again, you must re-run Edit Photos on it first.

This prevents duplicate learning entries and maintains accuracy.

What Happens Next?

Once learned, your editing preferences are:

Applied automatically in future Impossible Things edits
Continuously refined as you edit more images
Synced to your Impossible Things cloud account
Adapted to your cameras and consistent across machines

Over time, Impossible Things gets better and better at matching your personal style — without adding any new steps to your workflow.
