Question
Is it ethical to edit real estate photos?
Yes, when the edit changes how a property is seen, not what it is: balancing exposure and color is presentation; adding features or hiding defects is not. Review every set before you publish it.
NovaHDR keeps to exposure and color. It does not stage rooms, add objects or invent window detail, and its terms ask that edits are never used to misrepresent a property.
Listing professionals remain responsible for image accuracy, so make your final review before the photos reach your client or a listing.
