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. AI Version Selection
Autoenhance.ai offers two AI version options:
Latest: always uses the most recently released AI version. Best for users who want cutting-edge results and can tolerate occasional variation between processing runs.
Stable: a well-tested version that will be updated less regularly. Recommended for high-volume workflows and API integrations where output consistency is preferred.
If you don’t like the results on Latest, try processing the same images on Stable to compare. Both versions deliver professionally enhanced results, but the rendering approach differs between them.
4. Inpainting Features
Autoenhance.ai includes inpainting features that allow targeted adjustments to specific scene elements:
TV Blackout (Black Out / Off): turns television screens black for a cleaner, more professional look.
Fire in Fireplace (Alight / Off): adds a realistic fire effect to fireplaces in the scene.
Photographer Removal (Remove / Off): removes the photographer or camera reflection from mirrors and glossy surfaces.
Green Grass (Green / Off): enhances the grass in outdoor scenes for a more vibrant, lush look.
5. 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.
Color inconsistencies: If you experience color or enhancement inconsistencies with RAW files, converting to JPEG before uploading often resolves the issue. The model deliver best results from JPEG input while maintaining quality comparable to RAW.
