Recommendations for Best Results

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:

1. Import to Lightroom and apply lens corrections first (to ensure distortion-free images).

2. Export as full-resolution JPEGs and upload those to Autoenhance.
