Common Issues

Room looks darker and smaller than reality

Why: Phone cameras struggle with indoor exposure, especially mixed lighting

Try: brighten the room evenly, make it look spacious and well-lit

'Spacious and well-lit' triggers AI to open up shadows and enhance natural light

Windows are blown out white while interior is dark

Why: Extreme contrast between bright windows and dim rooms exceeds camera range

Try: balance the window and room exposure β€” show the view while brightening the interior

This HDR-style fix is one of AI's strongest capabilities β€” it handles it naturally

Clutter and personal items make space look messy

Why: Lived-in spaces have furniture, toys, and personal items that distract

Try: remove the clutter and personal items, make the space look clean and staged

For listing photos, decluttered spaces get significantly more engagement

Colors look wrong β€” walls appear yellow or green

Why: Indoor lighting and mixed light sources create color casts

Try: correct the wall colors to look true and neutral, fix the white balance

Mention the actual wall color if you know it for more accurate correction

FAQ

Can photo documentation replace site inspections?

In some jurisdictions, clear photo documentation can support remote inspections or reduce re-inspection visits. Check with your local building department for specific requirements.

What should I photograph before covering work?

Everything. Framing connections, MEP rough-ins, insulation installation, fire blocking, and any code-required detail. Once covered, you can't go back.

How do I photograph dark construction spaces?

Use multiple work lights from different angles. The AI dramatically brightens remaining dark areas to show every compliance detail.

Should I organize photos by inspection stage?

Yes. Organized photo sets by inspection (framing, rough MEP, insulation, final) with consistent quality streamline the approval process.

What about as-built documentation?

Enhanced as-built photos create permanent records of hidden conditions. These are invaluable for future renovations and property transfers.

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week. Plans start at $3.99/month.
