Our yalı is under SİT Kültür Varlıkları Koruma status. Will Plotpane's enhancement trigger a Kurul disclosure or facade-alteration concern?+
No. Auto Enhance is explicitly bounded away from facade-alteration edits — it will not repaint a faded kaplama, will not replace weathered şingıl, will not remove patina from the wooden cumba, kafes or roshan, will not alter the waterline or the iskele pier, will not digitally restore missing tavan panels in the divanhane. It handles exposure, white balance, Bosphorus water and sky tone, and window-pull recovery, which all sit within the legitimate editorial finishing boundary a Koruma Bölge Kurulu would recognise as darkroom-equivalent. Plotpane writes a standard XMP enhancement tag into the file you download, so a Kurul or Tapu ve Kadastro audit reads the pipeline cleanly against the untouched original you keep beside it — the render is a fresh encode and will not carry your camera EXIF through. Upload the JPEG, run Auto Enhance, export at about 2.4K some two minutes later.
Can Plotpane read the specific Bosphorus afternoon light — the cool pearl register that a Mediterranean preset gets wrong?+
Yes. Auto Enhance reads the Bosphorus register correctly and holds the cool pearl-blue water without drifting to the false saturated-Aegean turquoise that consumer enhancers default to. The strait stays the real color, the painted pastel cumba keeps its real hue, and the European-shore or Asian-shore silhouette — Rumelihisarı, Yeniköy, Tarabya, Bebek, Kuruçeşme, Kanlıca, Kuzguncuk, Arnavutköy, Anadolu Hisarı, Beylerbeyi — reads natural whether shot in the morning light off the Black Sea or the softer afternoon haze off the Marmara.
We list to both Turkish brokerages and international buyers — Sotheby's International Realty Turkey, Christie's International Turkey, SINPAŞ Prime, DKT International, Coldwell Banker Türkiye, plus Gulf private-client advisors. Will one export work across both audiences?+
Yes. The editorial register reads correctly for international UHNW audiences — it matches the Sotheby's, Christie's, Knight Frank Turkey and Savills İstanbul brochure grade — and for Turkish luxury brokers who are sensitive to over-processing on a register-status property. One JPEG export at about 2.4K, both audiences, consistent across sahibinden, Emlakjet, Hepsiemlak, the Sotheby's Realty Turkey portal and the printed Gulf-buyer private file that still drives USD 15M-plus yalı closes.
Yabancıya satılık — the foreign-buyer quota applies to our yalı. Does the photo pipeline need to account for the Tapu ve Kadastro restrictions?+
The photo pipeline itself does not interact with the Tapu ve Kadastro registry, but a digitally altered listing photo can surface during the yabancı-buyer due diligence that Gulf and European UHNW advisors run before the Tapu transfer. Plotpane's XMP enhancement tag, paired with the untouched original capture in your own archive, makes the edit history auditable for any buyer-side advisor who asks — which on a USD 10M-plus yalı transaction they routinely do. Auto Enhance stays inside exposure, white balance and tone, so every output is what the sensor captured plus that bounded edit set, and there is no gap between what the Tapu file, the Kurul file and the listing file each see.
How does Plotpane handle interior shots of divanhane, hamam and original tavan work — spaces where heritage restoration is ongoing?+
Interiors are held to the same Kurul-safe boundary as the exterior. Plotpane will balance exposure and white balance across the mixed tungsten, candlelight and daylight typical of a divanhane, pull window detail back from the Bosphorus glare, and preserve the warm register of original çini, hand-painted tavan and marble hamam surfaces — but it will not digitally restore missing tavan panels, will not repaint faded kalem işi, will not remove visible restoration scaffolding or protective sheeting, and will not fabricate furnishings that are not in the frame. If a space is mid-restoration, it photographs as mid-restoration, which is the honest disclosure a SINPAŞ Prime or DKT advisor file expects.
