Welcome to AREA Pixels, the AI solution for real estate photography editing.
Using computer vision, machine learning and advanced algorithms, our patent-pending solution automates the tedious tasks that previously had to be performed manually in software programs like Photomatix®, Adobe Lightroom® and Adobe Photoshop®.
AREA, which stands for Algorithms for Real Estate Art, was developed over several years and designed specifically for the needs of professional real estate photographers.
Gone are the days of spending all night editing photos after a long day in the field. AREA Pixels automates post-production, allowing photographers to focus on running their business, not wasting valuable hours editing photos.
Evolution: Post Production
In the past, the only option available to real estate photographers was to do post production themselves. Self service meant spending hours editing and retouching each photograph, adjusting lighting, color, and contrast to make the images as appealing as possible.
Over time, the demand for high-quality real estate photography increased and many photographers turned to overseas editing services. While this enabled photographers to outsource their post production to meet the increased demand, it often created different problems including logistical inefficiencies, inconsistent quality and delayed deliveries.
The next phase in the evolution of post production is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that automates real estate photography post production. Our groundbreaking service provides an easy-to-use interface that makes it easy to process large numbers of images quickly and efficiently. This allows for faster turnaround times and a highly-efficient workflow at a fraction of the cost of outsourced solutions.
