Duskly

For photographers

For real estate photographers

You made the alteration. The agent has to disclose it. Duskly returns both halves so the handover stops being your problem.

Features

What you get back

Not just an altered JPEG.

One price for the whole listing

A shoot is twenty-five photos, of which eight are exteriors. With a listing you do not count them: $29 covers every photo. A single photo is $5.

The original comes back with every edit

Paired and ordered, ready to drop into the photo sequence. Several rulebooks require the unaltered original sit immediately before or after the edited one.

The disclosure text is written for you

MLS photo description, public remarks, print, syndication feed. Different surfaces have different character budgets, so the wording differs per surface.

Framing held to your capture

Every render is compared against your file and rejected if the field of view widened or the building moved. You are shown the attempts that failed.

Nothing you shot gets quietly removed

Power lines, aerials, branches and neighbouring rooflines survive. Removing utility lines is a prohibited alteration in several markets, not a tidy-up.

Twenty seconds, not twenty-four hours

No queue and no overnight turnaround, so a reshoot decision happens while you are still near the property.

How it works

Three steps

  1. Step 1

    Upload your photos

    JPEG or PNG. Free to try: 2 renders without an account, 1 more when you sign in. Your original is never used for training.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a tool, then we check our own work

    Renders that move your framing or change the house are discarded before you see them.

  3. Step 3

    Download the pair

    The edit and your original, in MLS order, with disclosure wording for each place you post it and a record of what changed.

The handover is where this breaks

A photographer edits, an agent publishes, and the disclosure obligation sits with whoever publishes. That split is why most listing photos are altered without a word said about it: a study of roughly 40,000 listing images in early 2026 found 10.8% digitally altered, and more than 90% of those carried no disclosure at all. Not because anyone set out to mislead, but because a folder of JPEGs carries no record of what was changed.

You cannot disclose on the agent's behalf. What you can do is hand them a deliverable that makes disclosing trivial: the edit, the original it was made from, and the sentence to paste into the photo description.

What you actually send

Every paid listing comes back as an ordered set. Edited image at full resolution, exactly as the model produced it. The unaltered original, numbered so it sits immediately before or after the edit when a filesystem sorts them, which is what Canopy MLS and SDMLS both require. A disclosure file per photo with wording for each surface the agent publishes to. And an audit record of what was done.

The reshoot you do not drive to

Sky replacement and day to dusk exist to stop a grey afternoon costing you a second trip. Both are alterations, both are disclosable, and both are cheaper than the drive. What neither should do is relight the building to match the new sky, which is the tell that gives a composite away, so the instruction holds the existing light on the structure and the render is rejected if the exposure stops reading as a photograph.

FAQ

Questions worth asking

The duty falls on the licensee publishing the listing, which is the agent, not you and not the software. What lands on you is that the agent cannot disclose what they were never told about, and cannot publish an original you did not send. Duskly produces both so the handover carries them.

You should, and the pack does it for you. Every edited photo comes back with its original beside it and the disclosure text for the edit that was applied, so what you deliver is self-describing rather than a folder of JPEGs the agent has to ask questions about.

Yes. Per listing and Studio are both sold for client work: paid downloads carry no Duskly logo, so you can charge your client whatever you like while Duskly bills you $29 for the listing, or $299 a month for 25 of them. Agent is the cheaper single-agent plan and is not sold for white-labelling. Free previews carry Duskly branding.

Not consistent, here or anywhere. Published benchmarks top out around 20% flawless because models rearrange furniture to face the camera even when handed correct geometry. Each photo is edited independently, so pick the hero shot rather than staging a whole room set.

Most MLS rulebooks we have read do not name it. Stellar MLS does: it allows twilight photos as long as lighting is not added where none exists and the sunset matches where the sun really sets, under its virtual staging rule, which requires disclosure. We classify it as ambiguous and disclose by default. Bay East’s public FAQ does list “sky replacement” as a digitally altered image, and day to dusk is commonly a sky replacement plus synthetic window glow, which changes the depicted time of day, so the lighting-adjustment exemption is not safely available. Outside the US, NSW Fair Trading guidance says agents must not change a property’s appearance by digitally adding or removing features; only lighting adjustments that compensate for poor lighting “may be acceptable”.
