AI Versions

Autoenhance regularly releases improvement to it's AI as a new version - giving you the flexibility and control to choose the cadence that suits your needs

AI Version 5

AI Version 4

Original Image

We are changing the naming of our AI versions.

As Autoenhance continues to grow, we’re simplifying how we name and release our AI versions to help you choose the right one for your needs.

From January 2026, we will be releasing versions in a new, dynamic format. We will support three versions at any given time:

• Latest: For customers who want the latest features as soon as they are publicly released.

• Stable: Once the current Latest version has been publicly used on hundreds of thousands of images and shown that it is reliable in the wild, it will become our Stable version. This is ideal for large scale customers who want access to our new features, while requiring consistent and trustworthy behaviour from our AI.

• Beta: Our experimental version. You get access to our new, flagship features in development, with a small risk that things may not always work well.

With this new setup, 5.3 will become our last named version, and it will be aliased by the Stable version. Our new January 2026 release is now available as Latest (V5 Latest in our webapp).

Specifying Versions

By default your images will be enhanced with the latest version of the AI. If you wish to use stable and beta, then you can select it in the Webapp or by sending the corresponding string in the API request.

The table below shows which release each label represents:

Label	Release
Stable	5.3
Latest	January 2026
Beta	Not available

Changelog

Here is a list of our available AI versions and the changes contained:

Version 5

Release	Release Date	Changes
January 2026	19th January 2026	Drastic speed improvements. We have reengineered our processing pipeline, with our fastest enhancement engine ever. New decoding for RAW images with better colours and shadow reconstruction. Improved HDR blending for better highlight and shadow preservation. Better window pulls with stronger recovery of details in highlights.
5.3	27th November 2025	Improved colour retention and contrast, delivering images that pop more. Enhanced the AI's ability to preserve the original image's natural contrast, improving clarity and rendering of shadows, and making whites whiter. Increased the AI's detail preservation, and upgraded the its image restoration capabilities, with cleaner outputs that look sharper and with less noise. Finer detail such as wood grain is now much sharper. Improved white balance corrections, especially in scenes with several illuminants. Enhanced images will look neutral and whites will look white regardless of the input white balance. Added support for newer camera lenses.
5.2	30th September 2025	Researched and developed an entirely new AI, trained on our own professionally curated dataset of real estate images. This model unlocks a whole host of new capabilities as listed below. Dramatically improved window pulls and sky replacements. Your images will look sharp and colourful, even when the windows and skies are blown and data is missing. Enhanced colour fidelity and shadow reconstruction. Colours now retain their natural tones, while shadows are boosted to restore their detail without adding extra noise. Reintroduced support for image upscaling. If your image is below 1500px, you can now resize it with our AI super-resolution models. Support for more Fujifilm and Panasonic camera models. Fixed a known issue where certain elements in the image could lose colour. Now, images retain their full colour palette. Increased model capability to enable new features currently under research by our team. Stay tuned to find out about our next update.
5.1	26th June 2025	Auto Privacy Can now blur picture frames All masks fir the shape of the object for a more natural look New more natural looking blur which retains the colours of the underlying object without ending up muddy Sky Replacement Can now handle fine-detail such as telephone wires, antennas and building details. Improved handling of white buildings or white elements. Reducing in sky artefacts and skies placed in reflections Expanded sky packs for more combinations of skies Perspective Correction Building-aware perspective correction system that adapts the strength of the correction depending on how close the building is to the edge of the frame just like a photographer would. More adaptive perspective correction which can adjust for cramped shots so that important elemetns of the shot do not end up cropped.
5.0	14th April 2025	Introducing version 5 with our all-new generative enhancement architecture: Automatic removal of unwanted colour casts More accurate colour reproduction under diverse lighting conditions More localised edits unlocking window pulls even with single images Better handling of editing consistency in diverse lighting conditions Sky replacements for internal window shots Improved white balance accuracy across all lighting condition Perspective corrections can now handle more complicated edge cases with challenging situations such as tilted shots with slanted objects within them. Significantly improved white balance accuracy across all lighting conditions.

Version 4

Version	Release Date	Changes
4.7	20th February 2025	Introduced new HDR blending techniques for better colour and highlight preservation. Enhanced DNG support, with better detail, shadow reconstruction, and colour fidelity. Improved JPEG quality preservation and restoration with refined compression handling. Added AI upscaling for low-quality JPEGs (enable via "upscale": true request). Implemented color cast removal. Fixed color correction issues that caused blue artifacts around buildings and trees. Updated white balance processing to reduce unwanted magenta tints and excess warmth. Refined sky replacement with better handling of white roofs and chimneys. Enhanced window pull detection and processing for more accurate results.

Unavailable Versions

Version	Release Date	Changes
4.6	19th December 2024	Introduced our in-house AI HDR Harmoniser. Our pipeline now delivers vibrant shadows and detailed highlights for all shots. Whether you shoot multi-bracket or single-bracket, 4.6 packs much more detail, colour and dynamic range for your images. Revamped our AI pipeline, drastically reducing halos, while increasing colour retention, brightness and image sharpness. Improved our White Balance pipeline, with more consistent results in mixed-illuminant scenes, and on those where White Balance was very off in the input. Increased Window Pull performance, with better and more precise blending. Improved perspective correction strength, allowing for more capability on external scenes as well as reduced cropping post perspective correction. Introduction of metadata lens corrections. Now any camera with lens correction information in metadata (such as Sony) can be corrected. Changes to Autoprivacy. To reduce false positives we are temporarily disabling auto privacy on photo frames (with people) and for sale signs. These will be returning in a future version. License plates and human faces auto privacy are still included.
4.5	13th November 2024	Implemented our new, state-of-the-art AI White Balance system, delivering the best and most consistent enhancements to date. Introduced our first Intelligent Sky Composition pipeline. Sky replacements are now enhanced to match the style and look of the image's foreground. Improved shadow and highlight recovery, with better lighting and colour corrections. Upgraded enhancement styles with better detail preservation techniques. Images are now sharper and have higher clarity. Enhanced the look of window pulls. Updated editing styles to deliver more realistic image enhancements. Added new lenses for lens correction.
4.4	20th September 2024	Improved processing of RAW files including colours, better shadow and highlight recovery. Resolved cases where a stitch line for 360s could be visible on white surfaces. All images are marked as 300 DPI to ensure they are printed at correct size. Improved cases where white balance was too strong and would desaturate the image. New window pull pipeline with increased precision and fewer false positives. Lens correction now supports DSLR cameras which automatically apply lens correction without reporting it in the metadata. Updated Auto Privacy model with fewer false positives.
4.3	29th July 2024	Improved upscaling for a more sharper and more clear image A more consistent and more neutral white balance Improvements to the accuracy of perspective correction Fixes cases where HEIC files wouldn't rotate correctly Perspective correction is no longer applied to drone shots
4.2	1st July 2024	Improved RAW decoding with improvements to contrast, exposure and saturation, as well as to white balance in cases where camera settings weren't set correctly New Auto Privacy 1.1 with improved accuracy and additional support for extra types of sensitive objects Improved processing speed Added support to process images up to 12K in resolution Reduced brightness boost strength to achieve a more balanced look when using stronger settings Fixed cases where single RAW images would contain ghosting Orientation of RAW images is now corrected on supported cameras
4.1	28th May 2024	We now use a single middle exposure for the original to more accurately reflect whats been enhanced The effect of brightness boost has been reduced to reduce destruction of images when using high settings on already bright images Fixes images not being kept in original size for perspective correction Fixes cases where lens correction could applied twice with recent Sony Cameras Fixes cases where lens correction could applied twice with images exported from Lightroom or Photoshop Fixes cases where perspective correction wouldn’t be applied to images from Apple devices Increases the number of skies available for sky replacement Fixes cases where brackets generated from a single RAW file would be misaligned Fixes cases where perspective correction would be applied to 360s Enables contrast boost by default to ensure there is a good level of default by default, this can be disabled by providing your own contrast_boost setting Adds support for perspective correction for portrait images
4.0	5th April 2024	New HDR algorithm with improved dynamic range Introduction of super resolution upscaling to increase fine detail in the image Introduction of Window Pulling that ensures the content of your windows can always be seen Improved accuracy of Auto Privacy blurring New enhancement architecture with "target editing" support which can intelligently detect which areas need enhancing, improving loss of details caused by previous AI versions pushing brightness too high in already over-exposed areas Better extraction of detail from over-exposed brackets Improved white balance for photos taken by incorrectly calibrated cameras. Expansion of editing styles to "warm", "neutral" and "authentic" for more customisation of AI output
3.5	1st May 2024	Fixes an issues where perspective correction would not be applied to JPEG images from Apple devices. We've increased the variation of skies in our sky replacements, to make sure each sky for every image will be unique.
3.4	30th April 2024	Fixes an issues where 360s would occasionally have a visible stitch line. Fixes an issue where enabling perspective correction would cause AI to override lens correction being disabled. We now only run perspective correction if lens correction is enabled. We now progressively enhance, if any errors are encountered we will skip that step so that we always give you some kind of image. Images which already have lens correction applied in Photoshop or Lightroom are now correctly detected.
