How do I batch edit photos so all 20 frames of one listing look the same?+
Upload the listing to Plotpane, pick one tool (Auto Enhance, Day to Dusk, Sky Swap, Virtual Staging), and run the batch — 50 frames a go on Pro, 150 on Agency. Every image goes through that same tool on the same settings, so they land on the same white balance, the same exposure baseline and the same color. The output comes back as a ZIP of JPEGs at about 2.4K, not 20 independently-retouched frames.
How is this different from Lightroom batch edit or Photoshop batch edit?+
Lightroom and Photoshop batch edit apply one develop preset or one action across a selected set — you still have to build the preset, dial in the reference, and hand-check every frame for per-image drift (blown highlights, underexposed corners, white-balance shift near windows). Plotpane's batch photo editor is AI-native and listing-aware: the tools are built for real-estate interiors, every render is held to the architecture in the source frame, and the one tool runs across the whole mixed-light shoot without you dialling anything in. You skip the Develop module entirely.
Can the batch editor handle a 500-photo hotel shoot?+
In runs of 150. Agency takes 150 images per batch, so a 500-photo hotel shoot is four batches — and since Agency covers 600 images a month, the whole shoot fits inside one billing period. One tool across all of them is exactly what hospitality needs: 180 'king' rooms across three floors have to read the same, not 180 slightly different rooms. Queue each batch, let it render at about two minutes a frame, and pull the set down as a ZIP of 2.4K JPEGs with XMP disclosure.
What if the photos were taken at different times of day (morning kitchen, twilight exterior)?+
Run them all through the same tool. There is no hero-frame anchor to set: what holds the set together is that Auto Enhance is aiming every photo at the same listing-ready baseline, so a bedroom shot at 9am and a living room shot at 4pm both land there. The twilight exterior is the frame to treat on its own — shoot it in daylight and run Day to Dusk, rather than trying to drag a dusk capture into line with the interiors.
Can I mix virtual staging and enhance in one listing batch?+
Yes — as two runs, one credit an image either way. Stage the empty rooms, enhance the occupied ones, and ship them as one listing. Because every tool is held to the same source frame and aims at the same color target, the staged bedrooms and the enhanced kitchen read as one coherent set rather than two tools stitched together. MLS disclosure is carried by the visible 'Virtually Staged' label you can switch on plus the line your board wants in the remarks — the MLS re-encodes on upload and drops the XMP, so that packet is your own dated record rather than the disclosure buyers see.
Does the batch photo editor work for thirty-listings-a-month agencies?+
Yes, one listing at a time. Each batch covers a single listing — the same tool and the same style across its 15-20 frames — and the next listing starts a fresh batch. Agency runs 150 photos a batch and 600 images a month, which is the tier a thirty-listings-a-month operation wants. Every render takes about two minutes, and no plan jumps the queue ahead of another.
Do I need to configure anything to get batch consistency?+
No — it is the default. Upload a whole listing, pick a feature, render. The consistency is a property of how the system is built, not a setting you enable: one tool, one built-in style, the same treatment on every frame in the run.
