Scenes View groups similar photos from the same moment, so you can compare them side by side and keep the best of each. The strongest photos in each Scene show first, so you can move through a big shoot moment by moment.
Press S, or click the Scenes icon in the toolbar, once your project has finished processing.
Previous or next Scene: ← / →
Previous or next photo: ↑ / ↓
Move through the photos in a Scene: ⌘ ↑ / ↓ on Mac, Ctrl ↑ / ↓ on Windows
Select every photo in a Scene: hold ⌘ Shift (Mac) or Ctrl Shift (Windows) and click a thumbnail
You can change these shortcuts in Preferences.
Scene rank uses AI First Pass assessments, which draw on face, eye and focus assessments, to put the strongest photos in each Scene first. On a Mac with macOS 14 or later, photos without faces are ranked by how sharp they are compared with the rest of their Scene.
Scene rank only compares photos within a Scene. It's a place to start looking, not a verdict on your photo.
No. Once Narrative has grouped your photos into Scenes, you can't move a photo to a different Scene.
Standard, Premium, and Ultra. Scenes View is not included on Lite. See our pricing for more information.
