What are Effects?
Effects are a suite of AI-powered finishing tools built directly into the Pixlmob platform. They help real estate photographers quickly handle common retouching and polish tasks — like replacing a gray sky, removing clutter, or enhancing a lawn — without leaving the platform or waiting on a human editor.
Think of Effects as the finishing layer for your images. After your main edits are complete, Effects make it easy to apply fast, affordable touch-ups so you can deliver polished galleries to your clients faster.

FAQs:
What’s the difference between Effects and services offered by a human editor?
What’s the difference between Effects and services offered by a human editor?
Effects are part of a self-service finishing workflow designed to help you quickly apply common retouching and polish to your images. Most Effects are powered by AI models and are intended for fast, practical adjustments.
In contrast, the services offered by editors in the Pixlmob marketplace are individually reviewed and edited by professional human editors with the precision, judgment, and attention-to-detail that only a human can provide.
Many photographers use both together — human editing for the primary edit, then Effects for quick finishing touches and final polish.
