# Photo Editing & Virtual Staging

AI Photo Edits brings powerful real estate–specific enhancements right inside AutoReel, letting you touch up and use your improved photos instantly in your videos all in one seamless flow.

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/seV__q0s4hE>" %}

**Why this matters:**

* Save time & subscriptions: Edit directly inside AutoReel instead of juggling multiple apps.
* Look pro, consistently: Fix skies, brighten interiors, declutter, and keep brand style tight across a listing.
* Do more with each photo: Create multiple versions (e.g., daytime + twilight) and use them to tell a more engaging story.

**What you can edit today:**

Once AutoReel’s AI analyzes your photo, it instantly spots what can be improved and lets you make smart, realistic edits in just one click. Think of it like a photo magic wand built for real estate:

* **Add twilight skies** to make your exterior shots glow and stand out
* **Virtually stage** the living room with luxury furniture
* **Turn on the fireplace** for a warm, welcoming vibe
* **Fix up the lawn** so it looks lush and freshly maintained
* **Declutter or remove furniture** to help buyers visualize the open space

Prefer precision control? Add a custom prompt (e.g., “remove the wall art”, “make it look like springtime”, “add a ferrari to the driveway”) to make it your own, more examples provided in the guide below.

### Open a photo

### Analyze the photo

Click **Analyze** to have AutoReel's AI review your photo and generate tailored suggestions based on what it detects in the image.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Adjust the photo edit settings

In the left sidebar, you’ll see rows for each detected feature with a dropdown of actions, such as:

* Sky → Twilight
* Furniture → Remove furniture
* Lawn → Repair

You can also select your desired resolution. **Standard** will create standard resolution photos quickly, while **High** will create high resolution photos but take longer to process.

Add an **AI disclaimer** if you'd like to add "Virtually staged" or "Digitally altered" to the bottom right of the photo.&#x20;

Optionally, add an **Additional Prompt** (up to 250 characters) for fine-grained instructions.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create your AI Edit

Click **Edit image**, and soon, a new version of your image appears alongside the original, so you can compare and select the best one for your video.
