Window Pull and Masking Software

Our window pull feature automates the entire process of blending multiple exposures to fix blown-out windows. You start by taking two shots: one exposed for the interior of the room, and a second, darker one exposed for the view outside the window. You then upload both images to Imagen. Our AI instantly analyzes the photos, identifies the window areas in your interior shot, and creates a precise mask. It then uses this mask to smoothly blend the properly exposed exterior view from your darker shot into the main photo. This perfectly corrects the blown-out highlights, creating a single, flawless image with a natural interior and exterior balance. You get a high-quality result in seconds, saving you up to 96% of the time you'd spend doing manual masking in other software.

The biggest difference is the time you get back, with an average of 96% time saved per image. Instead of spending minutes on each photo meticulously creating a layer mask, our AI does it in seconds. Manually, you have to select the window panes, refine the edges around frames and curtains, and then blend the exposures. It's detailed, repetitive work. Our Window Pull & Masking Software takes care of the tedious masking for you. It intelligently identifies the window area, creates a precise mask, and composites the images to achieve a natural interior and exterior balance. You're still in control and can make final adjustments, but you skip the most time-consuming part. It's not about replacing your skill, but about automating the manual labor so you can focus on creative edits and delivering photos faster.

Yes, creating a natural-looking final image is the primary goal. The AI is designed to avoid the fake, “cut-out” look that can result from poor manual masking. It creates a smooth blend between the interior and the exterior view, paying close attention to light and color balance. The result is a clean, believable photo where the window looks like a natural part of the scene, not an obvious composite. By accurately preserving details in the window frames, it maintains realism. It ensures the interior and exterior balance feels right, so potential buyers focus on the beautiful view and the property itself, not on the editing. You get the clarity of a composite image with the authentic feel of a single, perfectly captured shot, which is exactly what agents need to market a property.

Our AI is trained on thousands of real estate images to handle complex situations like mullions, blinds, and curtains. It doesn't just look for a simple rectangle, it analyzes the image to identify the actual view through the window. The masking technology is sophisticated enough to work around these obstructions, creating a clean composite that looks realistic. While extremely complex patterns might occasionally require a quick touch-up, you'll find it handles the vast majority of challenging window scenes automatically. This saves you the headache of manually tracing intricate window frames. The goal is to produce a clean mask that correctly separates the interior elements from the exterior view, giving you a polished result without the tedious work.

Yes, the process is designed for a bracketed workflow, which is the professional standard for achieving a high-quality window pull. You need to provide at least two frames: a base exposure for the interior and a darker exposure where the exterior view is properly exposed and not blown-out. This allows our AI to have all the necessary data to work with. It uses the darker frame specifically to recover the detail in the window and blends it into the ambient interior shot. This technique keeps the best possible dynamic range and a clean, detailed final image. Attempting this with a single exposure would not yield a professional result, as the data for the blown-out view simply doesn't exist in the file. This method keeps a perfect interior and exterior balance.

It will dramatically shorten your delivery times. The manual process of window masking is one of the biggest time sinks in real estate photo editing. By automating this with our Window Pull & Masking Software, you can cut your editing time on these images by up to 96%. Instead of spending hours in Photoshop, you'll get perfectly balanced images back in minutes. This means you can deliver a completed gallery to your real estate agent clients much faster, often the same day. Faster turnaround is a huge competitive advantage. It helps your agents get listings live sooner and makes you a more valuable partner. You're not just sending back great photos, you're delivering them with speed and consistency that agents love, which helps you book more shoots.

Absolutely. Our system is built to work directly with the RAW files from all major camera brands. You get the highest quality results because we're working with the maximum amount of data from your sensor. You simply upload your bracketed RAW files, one for the interior and one for the exterior view, and the AI takes care of the rest. After the masking and blending process, we deliver a fully editable DNG RAW file back to you. This means you retain all the flexibility of a RAW workflow for your final tweaks in Lightroom, like adjusting white balance or recovering shadow detail. There's no need to convert your files to JPGs or TIFFs first. It's a seamless part of a professional, non-destructive editing workflow.

Our AI is designed to prioritize the exterior view, which is the main goal of a window pull. It intelligently identifies and replaces the blown-out areas with the clean view from your darker exposure. In doing so, it will typically replace most reflections along with the blown-out highlights. For real estate photography, this is usually the desired outcome, as strong reflections of flashes or interior objects can be distracting. The masking is focused on creating a clear, appealing image of the view outside. The final result is a composite that cleanly shows the exterior, achieving the intended interior and exterior balance without distracting reflections from the room. This helps potential buyers focus on what's outside, whether it's a beautiful garden, a city skyline, or a waterfront scene.

No, you always remain in control. Think of our AI as your hyper-efficient editing assistant, not a replacement. It handles the most repetitive and time-consuming task, which is the initial window masking and blending. Once the process is complete, you receive an editable DNG file back in your Lightroom catalog. From there, you have full control to make any final adjustments you see fit. You can tweak the exposure, adjust the color of the exterior view, or refine any part of the edit to match your personal style. The AI does the heavy lifting, saving you from the tedious parts of the job, but the final creative decisions are always yours. This workflow gives you the speed of automation without sacrificing your artistic control over the final image.

It’s designed for your entire gallery. You can send hundreds of bracketed photos for window pulls in a single batch. Our system automatically identifies the corresponding interior and exterior frames and processes them all at once. This is where the time savings really multiply. Instead of opening, masking, and saving each image one by one, you can get an entire property's worth of perfectly blended window views done in the time it would take you to manually edit just a few. It brings consistency to your entire shoot, ensuring every window has the same high-quality, natural look. This batch processing capability is key to delivering galleries to your clients faster than ever before, without compromising on the quality of the interior and exterior balance in your photos.
