Note on AI-generated and digitally altered images

Businesses using generative AI to edit real estate images should account for applicable transparency and disclosure requirements. Under the EU AI Act, certain AI-generated or manipulated content must be marked or disclosed. California’s AB 723, effective January 1, 2026, requires disclosures for digitally altered images used to advertise property for sale, along with access to the original, unaltered image. Requirements depend on the type of edit and how the image is used.

What types of car-related edits can I make with the car photo editor?

Are there specific file formats or image resolutions required for optimal results?

While working with higher quality file formats and resolutions is generally beneficial for editing purposes, it's important to balance this with file size and storage considerations. Larger file sizes consume more disk space and might slow down editing software, especially when working on multiple images simultaneously. Therefore, finding the right balance between image quality and practicality for your editing workflow is essential.
