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 -- for one flat monthly price.
The problem with editing-only tools
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.
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.
AutoHDR's sky replacement swaps the sky. 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.
The real cost
AutoHDR covers editing only. A full stack means multiple subscriptions.
