Photo Editing and Virtual Staging

What photo editing includes

Photo Editing and Virtual Staging is for still-image improvements.

Use this workflow when the original photo is useful but needs a specific edit, such as staging a room, cleaning up distractions, improving an exterior, adding warmth, or making a custom request.

Stage or restyle a room

Use these edits when the room itself needs a clearer design story. They help buyers understand scale, layout, room purpose, and what the space could feel like when furnished.

• Virtual staging adds furniture and decor to a single photo.
• Multi-angle virtual staging keeps style and furniture direction consistent across several angles of the same room.
• Restyle or redesign changes the look of an existing furnished room.
• Renovation or furnishing previews a more finished version of a space.

Clean up the photo

Use cleanup edits when the photo already shows the right space, but small distractions are pulling attention away from the property.

• Declutter removes visual distractions.
• Remove or reduce small unwanted items that make the room feel less polished.
• Clean up visible distractions while keeping the photo realistic and listing-ready.

Improve curb appeal

Use exterior edits when the property photo is strong, but the outside presentation needs to look cleaner, brighter, or more inviting.

• Sky replacement can make an exterior photo feel brighter and more inviting.
• Lawn enhancement can improve curb appeal when the grass or landscaping needs polish.
• Exterior cleanup can reduce distractions around the property while keeping the image believable.

Add warmth and atmosphere

Use ambience edits when the photo would benefit from a stronger mood or a warmer first impression.

• Virtual twilight turns a daytime exterior into an evening-style image.
• Fireplace enhancement can make an interior feel warmer when a fireplace is part of the room story.

Custom edit

Use Custom Edit when the photo needs a specific change that does not fit a standard option. Describe what should be changed and keep the instruction focused on the visible photo.

• Ask for a focused correction, such as cleaning up a visible distraction or improving one part of the image.
• Use custom instructions when you need more control than a one-click edit type provides.
• Keep the request realistic for the original photo so the final image still feels listing-ready.

Create a video with edited photos

After the edits are complete, you can use the edited photos in the photo-to-video workflow. This lets you turn improved listing images into a finished property video without leaving VideoGuru.

Identify edited photos

Edited photos are marked with a star so you can tell which images have been enhanced when selecting photos for the video.
