Lumavo vs. AutoHDR

AutoHDR edits your photos.Lumavo runs your whole business.

AutoHDR is a capable AI editing tool. But after your photos are done, you still need separate software for booking, invoicing, client delivery, and file management. Lumavo bundles all of it -- AI editing, 15-combination twilight, virtual staging, booking, CRM, invoicing, and branded agent portals -- in one platform, priced per listing — $5/listing on Flex with your first 10 edited photos included, then $0.50 each, or $29/listing on Pro.

The problem with editing-only tools

AutoHDR edits your photos. Everything else is still your problem.

After AutoHDR finishes your photos, you're back to email chains, spreadsheets, and stitching together separate software for booking, invoicing, and delivery. You're managing a stack of subscriptions on top of what you're already paying AutoHDR.

Your agents get a Dropbox link -- not a portal

AutoHDR has no client-facing delivery. Agents receive photos however you choose to send them -- usually a shared folder or email. There's no branded gallery, no social sharing, no re-edit request button, and no way for an agent to pay a rush fee or give you a 5-star review. Lumavo gives every agent a polished portal with social sharing, built-in re-edit requests, and Stripe payment, without requiring them to create an account.

15 twilight combinations vs. a sky swap

AutoHDR's Virtual Twilight converts a daytime shot and its sky toggle swaps clouds. Lumavo's Aura Twilight generates 5 fully distinct scenes -- Blue Hour, Golden Hour, TrueBlue, Cotton Candy, and Midnight Glow -- each at three mood levels (Authentic, Dramatic, Cinematic). That's 15 unique outputs from a single photo, with each mood producing a structurally different sky composition and time-of-day foreground lighting.

Feature comparison

Lumavo vs. AutoHDR

FeatureLumavoAutoHDR
Agent delivery portal (no agent signup required)

AutoHDR has no client-facing gallery. Edits are returned to the photographer or pushed to a separate delivery platform — agents never see an AutoHDR portal.

Social sharing from delivery portal

AutoHDR has no delivery portal. Lumavo agents can share individual listing photos directly to social from the portal.

Client photo re-edit requests

AutoHDR has no client workflow. Re-edit requests go through email outside the platform. Lumavo has a built-in re-edit request flow.

Online booking page & CRM

AutoHDR is a photo editing tool only. Scheduling, contacts, and client management require separate software.

Invoicing & payment collection

No invoicing in AutoHDR. Photographers manage billing entirely outside the platform.

Rush order add-on pricing

AutoHDR does not support rush surcharges. Lumavo photographers can configure a rush add-on clients select at booking.

Automated delivery rules & scheduling

AutoHDR can auto-upload finished edits to your delivery platform, but has no booking system — so there are no status-triggered notifications or scheduled delivery. Lumavo supports both, plus workflow rules.

Virtual staging (furnishing empty rooms)

AutoHDR's AutoFill handles minor staging edits like fireplace flames and TV screens, but it does not advertise full room furnishing.

AI twilight with 15 scene/mood combinations

AutoHDR offers Virtual Twilight and a sky toggle. Lumavo has 5 distinct scenes (Blue Hour, Golden Hour, TrueBlue, Cotton Candy, Midnight Glow) each at 3 mood levels (Authentic, Dramatic, Cinematic) -- 15 combinations per photo.

AI declutter, canvas extend & lawn enhancer

AutoHDR has one-click object removal (AutoRemove). Lumavo's Aura Studio adds one-click declutter, canvas extend, brush-mask object removal, lawn enhancer, and custom Director prompts.

Branded photographer studio page

AutoHDR has no public booking page. Agents can't discover or book you directly. Lumavo gives every photographer a branded Lumavo Studio page.

Built-in SMS notifications

No SMS in AutoHDR. Lumavo notifies clients and agents automatically at each workflow stage.

Dropbox auto-folder per shoot

AutoHDR has one-click Dropbox automation for pulling in and returning edits. Because it has no bookings, there is no folder created per shoot the way Lumavo does when a job is confirmed.

Aura Verified AI disclosure (AB 723 compliant)

Every Lumavo AI edit auto-generates a tamper-evident disclosure record. AutoHDR has no built-in AI disclosure system.

AI HDR blending

Both platforms use AI to merge bracketed exposures into a balanced result.

Sky replacement / twilight conversion

Both offer sky conversion. Lumavo provides 5 scenes x 3 moods; AutoHDR provides Virtual Twilight and sky replacement with preset options.

Batch photo processing
Advanced manual editing sliders

AutoHDR offers more granular manual controls for photographers who want detailed adjustment of AI output.
