We want you to get the absolute best images possible from our AI. Below are our recommended workflows for stability, efficiency, and quality.
1. Shooting Guidelines
Bracketing (Exposure)
Goal: Capture the full dynamic range of the property to ensure high-quality editing results.
Interior: We recommend shooting 3 to 5 brackets at 2 stops apart. This specific range is critical to ensure you capture the full spectrum of light, from the darkest shadows to the bright details in the window views.
Exterior: Many exteriors can be captured successfully with a single exposure. In extreme lighting scenarios (high contrast sun/shadow) we recommend shooting 3 brackets at 2 stops apart.
Note: It is not critical to capture a perfectly exposed sky in your brackets, as our sky replacement feature will automatically add a perfectly exposed sky.
Tripod Setup (Stability & Height)
Goal: Maximize image stability and quality.
Stability & Quality: A tripod is most important for interior images. It allows you to shoot at a lower ISO, producing significantly cleaner and sharper images than handheld shots.
Camera Height: Set your tripod at waist-level (approximately mid-body height). This height prevents extreme vertical angles and significantly aids our AI in performing accurate perspective corrections.
2. Workflow Optimization
The Efficient JPEG Workflow: Our AI is specifically trained to recover white balance and remove noise from standard JPEGs.
Why try it? Significantly faster upload/processing times with the same professional results.
How to test: Shoot RAW + JPEG. Process the JPEGs through Autoenhance to test quality while keeping RAWs as a backup.
For "Flambient" Photographers: Switching to our recommended capture settings can save significant time on-site. Our model simulates the crisp, balanced look of a flambient edit using only ambient inputs.
How to test: Shoot your usual session (Ambient + Flash) to have a safety net.
The Process: Upload only the ambient brackets (3 to 5 brackets) to Autoenhance.
Compare: Compare the Autoenhance result against your manual flambient edit.
3. Troubleshooting
Workaround for Incompatible RAWs: If your camera uses an unsupported RAW format (e.g., Nikon Z8/Z9 High Efficiency), use this workflow:
Import to Lightroom and apply lens corrections first (to ensure distortion-free images).
Export as full-resolution JPEGs and upload those to Autoenhance.
