# Adjust Panel Overview
## The Adjust Panel
The Adjust panel is where you fine-tune photos, before or after Enhance runs. Open any photo in full screen to start editing.
Use it to clean up distractions, apply a consistent look, make AI-guided changes, or request a human touch-up without leaving Fotello.
Everything below lives inside that panel, grouped the way you'll see it on screen.
***
### Foton 10.0 Styles
Chooses the AI model and rendering style used to process the photo.
* **Signature** — Fotello's signature rendering style.
* **Natural** — A lighter-touch, true-to-life rendering style.
Switch between Signature and Natural to see which style better fits a given room or listing before moving on to Basic, Color, and Tone.
***
### My Profiles
Save a look once, apply it everywhere. A profile captures your Basic, Color, Tone, and Detail settings as a single preset.
* **Create** — Dial in a photo until it matches your style, then save those settings as a new profile.
* **Apply** — Push a saved profile onto any photo in one click.
Starting profiles come built in:
* **Airy** — Lifted shadows, soft contrast. Bright and open.
* **Crisp** — Punchy contrast, clean whites. Sharp and modern.
* **Golden** — Warm temp, deeper tones. Late-afternoon glow.
* **Deep** — Rich shadows, saturated color. Bold and moody.
* **Bright** — Higher exposure, lifted whites. A cleaner, lighter overall look.
* **Dark** — Lower exposure, deeper blacks. A moodier overall look.
Duplicate a shoot's mood across every room in minutes, or build your signature look once and reuse it on every listing after.
***
### Basic
The two adjustments that shape overall brightness and depth.
* **Exposure** — Brightens or darkens the whole image.
* **Contrast** — Widens or narrows the gap between light and dark areas.
Start here before touching anything else. Most photos only need small moves on these two sliders.
***
### Color
Controls how warm, cool, or vivid the image reads.
* **Temp** — Shifts the photo toward blue (cooler) or yellow (warmer).
* **Tint** — Shifts the photo toward green or magenta. Use this to correct color casts Temp alone can't fix.
* **Saturation** — Turns color intensity up or down across the whole image.
If a room looks off-color under mixed lighting, Temp and Tint together will get you back to neutral faster than either alone.
***
### Tone
Fine-grained control over specific brightness ranges, separate from the broad Exposure and Contrast sliders in Basic.
* **Highlights** — Recovers or boosts the brightest areas, like windows or sky.
* **Shadows** — Lifts or deepens dark corners and unlit spaces.
* **Whites** — Sets the white point. Push this to make bright areas pure white.
* **Blacks** — Sets the black point. Push this to deepen true black areas.
Use Highlights to pull detail back from a blown-out window without touching the rest of the room. Use Shadows to open up a dim hallway without brightening everything else.
***
### Detail
* **Sharpening** — Adds edge definition and crispness.
* **Softness** — Smooths edges and reduces harshness.
Small moves go a long way here. Oversharpened photos read as artificial, especially on textured surfaces like stucco or brick.
***
### Manual Lens Correction
Fixes distortion introduced by wide-angle lenses, straightening lines that should be straight.
* **New** — Start a fresh manual correction.
* **Distortion** — Adjust the strength and direction of the correction until vertical and horizontal lines look true.
Reach for this when Enhance hasn't fully corrected a wide-angle shot, or when you want manual control over how much correction to apply.
***
### Aspect Ratio
Crop a photo to a fixed ratio, or leave it uncropped.
* **Original** — No crop. Keeps the photo as shot.
* **Freeform** — Crop to any custom shape.
* **3:2** — Standard DSLR ratio.
* **4:3** — Standard for many listing platforms.
* **16:9** — Widescreen, ideal for video thumbnails and website headers.
* **9:16** — Vertical, built for Stories and Reels.
* **1:1** — Square, built for social feeds.
Pick the ratio that matches where the photo is headed. A hero shot for the MLS needs a different crop than one going into an Instagram carousel.
***
### Remove Tool
Erases unwanted objects from a photo. Click **Start Removing**, then paint over anything you want gone.
Common uses:
* Trash cans, cords, and clutter
* Cars parked in the driveway
* Reflections in mirrors or windows
* Stray pets or people passing through frame
The tool fills the erased area based on the surrounding pixels, so results are best on simple, repeating backgrounds like lawns, walls, and pavement.
***
### Privacy Blur Tool
Blurs sensitive information before a photo goes public. Click **Start Blurring**, then paint over the area to obscure.
Use it on:
* License plates
* House numbers, if a client requests it
* Personal items visible through windows
* Any identifying detail a client wants hidden
This tool protects privacy without needing to remove the object entirely.
***
### Perspective Correction
Straightens converging lines caused by camera angle, separate from lens-based distortion.
* **Auto Perspective Correction** — Applies correction automatically in one click. Start here.
* **Horizontal** — Corrects left-right lean.
* **Vertical** — Corrects up-down convergence, the most common fix for shots taken looking up at a building.
* **Rotation** — Levels the horizon.
Use Auto Perspective Correction first, then fine-tune with Horizontal, Vertical, or Rotation if the auto pass doesn't fully straighten the lines. Reach for the manual sliders directly after Manual Lens Correction if lines still don't look true. Vertical correction is the one you'll use most on exterior shots.
***
### Color Editor
Targets a single color and adjusts it without affecting the rest of the image. Select **Color**, pick the hue you want to change, and adjust it independently.
Use this to deepen sky blue without shifting skin tones, or to correct a wall color that's reading warmer or cooler than it actually is, without touching anything else in the frame.
***
### Options
* **Upscale with Topaz Gigapixel** — Increases resolution and recovers detail on low-resolution or heavily cropped images.
* **Grass Enhancement** *(free for 30 days)* — Greens up dull or patchy lawns automatically.
Reach for Upscale when a photo needs to be printed large or cropped tight. Reach for Grass Enhancement on exteriors shot during off-season or drought conditions.
***
### Sky Style
Replaces a dull, overcast, or blown-out sky with a clear one. Click **Upload** to use your own sky image, or pick from the built-in library:
Sunny puffs, Loaded puffs, Streaks & puffs, Sweep streaks, Scatter streaks, Crisp streaks, Clear fade, Original
**Original** keeps the sky as shot. The rest range from light cloud cover to fuller, more dramatic skies, so pick the one that matches the season and mood of the listing without looking out of place next to the rest of the exterior.
***
### Personalized TV Screen
Replaces a blank or off television screen with a chosen scene. Click **Upload** to use your own image, or pick from the built-in library:
Exterior View, Midnight Fade, Palm Paradise, Moraine Lake, Canyon Flames, Coastal Cove, Tropical Bliss, Eclipse Black
A blank TV reads as an empty, unfinished room. A lit screen adds warmth and life to the shot.
***
### Fireplace
Adds a lit flame to an empty or unlit fireplace. Click **Upload** to use your own image, or choose from the built-in library:
Cottage Flame, Panorama Glow, Desert Flare, Crystal Ember, Volcano Vault
Best used on listings shot during warmer months, when a cold fireplace can make a living room feel less inviting.
***
### Aerial Pins
Drops labeled markers onto aerial and drone shots to call out nearby points of interest. Choose an icon and place it on the image:
Pin, Star, Arrow, Drop, School, Bus, Subway, Airport, Beach, Hospital, Restaurant, Shopping, Gym, Golf
Use these to show buyers what's walkable or nearby directly on the aerial shot, without them needing to check a separate map.
***
### Property Lines
Draws the boundary of a property directly onto an aerial photo. Click **Start Drawing** and trace the lot line.
Useful on larger or irregularly shaped lots, where buyers need a clear sense of where the property actually ends.
***
### Personalize It to Match Your Style
One-click actions for common requests, applied directly to the photo:
* Remove clutter
* Slightly blow out exterior
* Remove camera & photographer
* Add green grass
* Remove humans
* Add fire to fireplace
* Clean pool
Each action can run one of two ways:
* **AI** — Applied instantly by Fotello's AI.
* **Human** — Routed to a human editor for a manual touch-up.
Use AI for speed on straightforward fixes. Switch to Human when a photo needs a more careful hand, like a tricky removal or a blend that AI alone won't nail.
These are fast paths to the same results the Remove Tool, Grass Enhancement, and Fireplace features produce, without opening each tool individually.
***
### Compliance
#### Digitally Altered Disclaimer
Some edits change what's physically present in a space; adding fire to a fireplace, a scene to a TV screen, grass to a lawn, or removing a permanent fixture. Listings using these edits should carry a digitally altered disclosure where your local MLS or governing board requires one.
Check your MLS's specific disclosure rules before publishing. Requirements vary by region, and the responsibility to disclose sits with the listing agent and photographer, not with Fotello.
