Real estate photo editing is priced per image and per level. Standard covers the essentials: white balance, lens correction, sky replacement and GDPR blurring. Advanced goes further with object removal, lights on, and small repairs. Expert handles more complex retouching, from small furniture removal to partial floor improvements. The same retouching needs can also be handled instantly through the AI Photo Studio, with results in seconds rather than a full editing turnaround. For emptying a fully furnished room, Backbone's 3D Staging is the right product. For a quote on your specific batch, request one on our get-a-quote page.
There are two ways to edit real estate photos with Backbone. For quick AI enhancements (lighting, sky replacement, basic touch-ups), the Backbone mobile app and its built-in AI Photo Studio handle it instantly, from any photo on your phone. For professional retouching with object removal, decluttering, or more complex fixes, upload your photos to the platform and order Standard, Advanced, or Expert editing.
Standard and Advanced editing follow a fast turnaround, in line with photo shoot delivery. Expert editing takes longer due to the depth of retouching involved. Timelapse and slideshow creation include a 2-week feedback window. With the mobile app and AI Photo Studio, enhanced photos are available instantly. Exact delivery times per subscription plan are on our pricing page.
Standard editing covers the basics: white balance, lens correction, exposure, straight lines, sky replacement, blurring of faces and licence plates. Advanced adds practical fixes like turning lights on, repairing grass, removing cords, hoses and small objects, and cleaning up interiors. Expert handles full transformations: removing furniture, decluttering exteriors, rebuilding pools, and partial floor improvements.
A real estate timelapse is a short exterior video built from a single still photo, animating the scene from sunrise to sunset or across changing weather. It's used as a hero asset on portals and social, to add motion to a listing without commissioning a full video shoot. The timelapse is delivered as a finished video, without amends or modifications. Logo overlay is included on request.
