Is this just another AI image tool?

No. Midjourney and DALL-E invent scenes from text prompts — beautiful for art, disqualifying for a listing. Plotpane is a structure-preserving pipeline: your room geometry, windows, and floor plan stay exact. We stage, re-light, swap skies, declutter, and enhance your actual photo. No hallucinated architecture, no invented rooms.

How does it differ from BoxBrownie or Styldod?

BoxBrownie and Styldod are human-edit services: you upload, a retoucher works overnight, you get a result in 24–48 hours at $2–$32 per image per treatment. They also sell things we do not have at all — floor plans, renderings, item removal by a person who can ask you what you meant. Plotpane is one machine pass: you pick one of seven tools, and the image comes back in about two minutes for one credit, whichever tool you picked, on a flat monthly subscription. Stacking two treatments on one photo means running it twice.

Will the MLS accept AI-staged photos?

Yes, when disclosed. NAR guidelines, California AB 723, and REBNY Rule 3.3 all allow virtually staged photos provided the listing discloses them. Every Plotpane export embeds invisible XMP disclosure metadata so the staging record travels with the file. You still handle the listing-remarks disclosure in your MLS portal — that's the part only you can do.

Won't the AI add things to my listing that aren't really there?

Every render is sent with a preserve list as well as an instruction. It names one operation and forbids the rest: do not touch windows, doors, walls, ceilings, floors, cabinetry or fixtures unless the instruction names them; do not remove or conceal a defect, stain or crack; do not change what is visible through glass, and never invent a view. Furniture is added to empty rooms; named objects are removed from furnished ones; sky and light are re-graded. If you do see something invented, that is a bug — report the render in the app and the credit comes back.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — one click in the Stripe billing portal from your dashboard. Billing stops immediately, remaining credits stay usable through the end of the billing period, and there's no cancellation fee.

Do my renders count as 'edits' under NAR rules?

Yes — any AI-generated or AI-modified image is considered an edit requiring disclosure under NAR's standards. That's why every Plotpane export writes invisible XMP disclosure metadata by default. The flag is machine-readable by MLS tooling and survives Lightroom round-trips. You still add the disclosure line to your listing remarks; we make sure the image itself is self-describing.

Luxury listings use case

Luxury Real Estate Photography for Luxury listings use case listings

Luxury Real Estate Photography in Luxury listings use case turns a flat listing gallery into marketing-grade exports at about 2.4K. Luxury buyers don't scroll — they curate. Your listing gets eight seconds before they swipe. Plotpane's Auto Enhance delivers a grade at about 2.4K that sits comfortably beside what Sotheby's, Compass Estates and Christie's International Real Estate listings ship with, without the $1,200 per-house retouching invoice.

BeforeAfter

Built for Luxury Real Estate Photography

Luxury Real Estate Photography in Luxury listings use case is a specific craft, not a generic filter. There's a specific look to a Sotheby's International Realty hero image — slightly warmer shadows, cooler highlights, deep saturated greens, precise window-interior balance. Compass Estates and Christie's International sit adjacent but with subtle differences. Plotpane's Auto Enhance works toward that register rather than a generic brightening pass — warm shadows kept warm, highlights kept cool, greens deep without going neon, window and interior balanced in the one frame. There are no brokerage registers to pick between: one tool, one credit, the same treatment on every photo in the set.

Replaces the $1,200 retouching invoice

High-end real-estate retouchers in NY, LA, and London charge $75-$150 per image, $900-$1,800 for a 12-image luxury set. Turnaround is 48-72 hours. Plotpane ships a comparable grade at about 2.4K in about two minutes per image on subscription economics — one credit an image, 120 a month on Pro. The retoucher still has a role for complex composites — twilight with sky+pool+interior stitching — but the 80% baseline goes through Plotpane.

Metadata integrity for luxury buyers

Ultra-high-net-worth buyers (or their advisors) increasingly spot-check photo metadata for staging and enhancement, especially on off-market flips. Plotpane writes an XMP enhancement disclosure into every export, so the file states plainly that it was AI-enhanced — which is the answer you want on record when a due-diligence team asks how a photo was finished. Keep your original camera file alongside it; that is what proves where the shot was taken.

Local questions, answered

Does this replace a luxury retoucher entirely?+

For 80% of listings, yes. For complex composites — twilight with stitched sky, pool, and interior layers, or heavily cluttered primary suites — a human retoucher still has a role. The division is typically: Plotpane for volume, retoucher for the hero.

Will the output match a Sotheby's or Compass Estates grade?+

Close enough to ship beside them. There are no brokerage sub-modes to choose between — Auto Enhance runs the same way on every photo, which is exactly what makes a set read as one register rather than twelve separate edits.

How much to charge for luxury real estate photography?+

Yes — Plotpane handles luxury real estate photography as a first-class use case. Upload the file — JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC — pick one of the seven tools, and export a JPG at quality 92, about 2.4K, with XMP disclosure metadata baked in. About two minutes and one credit a photo, whether that is a single frame or a 100-photo Agency batch.
