Frequently asked questions

What exactly is the hdr_merge feature and how does it work?

You get your time back while delivering perfectly balanced property photos. The hdr_merge feature is our AI Real Estate HDR Merge Tool & Editor that automatically combines your bracketed exposures into a single raw file. Instead of manually blending layers, masking windows, and painting in light, you upload your sets of 3 or 5 brackets directly to Imagen. We analyze the light across the frames, protect your highlights, and recover your shadows. The result is a clean and natural base image that looks exactly like what your eyes saw in the room. This gives you a massive head start on your editing workflow. You keep complete creative control because we return an editable raw file. You don't have to spend hours at your computer. We do the heavy lifting of the blend so you can focus on the final polish. You deliver consistent galleries to your listing agents up to 4 times faster than doing it by hand.

How is this different from blending photos manually in Lightroom or Photoshop?

You cut your editing time by 96% because our system processes your property shoots in the background. When you blend photos manually, you sit at your computer waiting for progress bars to finish. Our AI Real Estate HDR Merge Tool & Editor handles thousands of files in minutes. You simply select your bracketed exposures and send them to us. We align the pixels and balance the dynamic range automatically. You don't have to export to external editors, build manual masks, or manage massive Photoshop files. We return a standard raw file that fits right back into your normal catalog. Manual blending often leaves you with muddy colors, lost details, or unrealistic contrast that you have to fix later. We prioritize a clean and natural look that appeals to high end listing agents. You retain total control over the final image because the sliders remain fully adjustable. You get the quality of a meticulous manual merge with the speed of an automated system.

Does the tool work with my flambient photography workflow?

You cut your editing time by 50% while maintaining the crisp look of a flash and ambient shooting style. Many real estate photographers use our tool to handle the ambient brackets before they bring in their flash frames. You'll speed up the most tedious part of the flambient process by letting us build your base layer. You upload your ambient brackets to Imagen and we return a perfectly balanced raw file. We protect the window highlights and open up the room shadows automatically. You then take that blended file into Photoshop to brush in your flash pops for accurate colors and crisp details. This hybrid approach saves you from having to manually mask the ambient layers before you even start working with the flash frames. You get the natural window pulls of HDR, the clean color accuracy of flash, and the speed of AI. You deliver the premium look your listing agents expect without the tedious manual labor.

What file types do I need to upload for a successful merge?

You extract the maximum amount of detail from your property shoots by uploading uncompressed raw files. We support major camera raw formats, uncompressed files, and standard formats so you don't have to convert anything to DNG first. You simply drag your original bracketed exposures into the app and let us go to work. Raw files contain the maximum amount of data for us to pull from. This gives our system the flexibility to balance exposures, recover blown out highlights in the windows, and lift crushed shadows in dark hallways. You can upload JPEGs if you need to, but you lose a significant amount of dynamic range in the final result. We always recommend shooting raw for real estate interiors to give you the most latitude. We return a DNG file that you can edit just like a native raw file. You keep all the flexibility of the original files while saving 2 hours of manual blending time per shoot.

How much time will I save on my typical real estate galleries?

You can deliver a 40 image property gallery in under 15 minutes instead of spending 2 hours at your desk. Speed is everything when listing agents need photos the next morning. You'll skip the tedious process of grouping and blending every single room manually. Our AI Real Estate HDR Merge Tool & Editor processes your entire shoot in the cloud while you drive home from the property. You upload your bracketed exposures and we handle the alignment and the merge instantly. By the time you sit down with your coffee, your base images are ready for final adjustments. You get a massive head start on the editing process because we solve the tricky dynamic range issues for you. You reclaim your evenings, reduce your screen time, and have more time to book additional shoots during the busy spring market. You scale your real estate photography business without sacrificing your personal life or the quality of your images.

Will the final images look overly processed or fake?

You deliver natural and realistic photos that make buyers want to tour the home. We know that early HDR techniques often resulted in glowing edges and cartoonish colors. We built our system to avoid muddy shadows, glowing edges, and cartoonish colors completely. We analyze your bracketed exposures to create a clean and balanced base image that mimics human vision. You get crisp window views and bright interiors without the artificial halo effect. We protect the bright highlights outside the windows while naturally lifting the interior shadows. You always stay in the driver seat because we return an editable raw file. You can easily tweak the exposure or contrast to match your specific style or the preferences of your listing agents. You get a technically perfect starting point that looks incredibly realistic right out of the gate. You'll impress your clients with high end imagery while cutting your computer time down to 5 minutes.

Can the software group my photos automatically before blending them?

You save an enormous amount of clicking because we group your photos for you automatically. Sorting through hundreds of files to find sets of 3 or 5 frames is incredibly boring. You just dump your entire memory card into Imagen and we figure out the groupings based on capture time and exposure values. We identify which files belong together, stack them in order, and queue them up for the merge. You review the groups quickly to ensure everything looks correct before you send them off. We handle the heavy lifting of organizing the bracketed exposures so you don't have to stare at grids of similar photos. You can process an entire 5,000 square foot house in one simple batch. We align the pixels and balance the dynamic range across every single room at the same time. You get back a perfectly organized folder of blended raw files ready for your final color correction.

How does the system handle movement like ceiling fans or trees blowing outside?

You get sharp and clean final images even when there is movement in the frame. Moving objects are the biggest headache when you combine several exposures manually. Ceiling fans turn into blurry messes, walking pets disappear, and tree branches look like ghosts outside the windows. We use advanced alignment algorithms to detect movement across your bracketed exposures automatically. We select the sharpest version of the moving object from a single frame and use that for the final merge. You don't have to spend time painting masks over spinning fan blades or masking out blurry leaves in Photoshop. We give you a crisp and artifact free image right from the start. You get the massive dynamic range benefits of several frames without the typical ghosting penalties. You deliver professional results to your listing agents without spending 3 hours fixing motion blur on your computer.

Do I apply my AI Profile before or after I blend the exposures?

You maximize your efficiency by applying your AI Profile at the exact same time as your blend. We built our AI Real Estate HDR Merge Tool & Editor to handle the blending and the editing in one smooth step. You upload your raw bracketed exposures to our app and select your personal editing profile. We combine the frames to balance the highlights and the shadows first. We then apply your unique editing style directly to that newly created base file. You get back a fully edited DNG file that requires almost zero manual tweaking. You'll skip the tedious process of blending files in one program and editing them in another. You can also choose to just blend the files if you want to edit them yourself later. You have complete flexibility over your workflow, retain creative control, and save hours of repetitive tasks. You deliver beautiful galleries faster than you ever thought possible.

Is the blending feature included in my normal subscription cost?

You protect your profit margins on every real estate shoot with our simple and transparent pricing. We charge a flat rate for each final image we produce from your bracketed exposures. You don't pay for the individual raw files you upload. If you upload 5 frames to create 1 final photo of a living room, you only pay for that 1 final merged file. We designed this pricing model to keep your costs predictable. You know exactly what a project will cost before you even upload the files. You save so much time on the computer that the service easily pays for itself by allowing you to book 3 more shoots per week. You get the full power of our dynamic range processing without any hidden fees, unexpected charges, or complicated tier structures. You can check our current pricing page for the exact per photo rate for the merge feature.
