Frequently Asked Questions

Why is photo straightening exempt from AB 723 disclosure requirements?

Photo straightening falls under basic technical corrections like exposure and color adjustment. AB 723 considers this fundamental image quality improvement, not content alteration. No disclosure is required because you're correcting camera errors, not changing what was photographed.

What types of photo straightening can I do without triggering AB 723 compliance?

You can correct tilted horizons, straighten vertical lines, fix perspective distortion, and align architectural elements without disclosure. These are considered technical corrections similar to exposure adjustment. Content alterations like object removal or sky replacement would require disclosure.

How does BuildMyListing ensure straightening doesn't alter important content?

The AI only adjusts geometric orientation without adding, removing, or significantly altering visible content. Straightening preserves all original elements while correcting camera angle errors and perspective distortion within exempt enhancement boundaries.

Can I straighten photos that also need virtual staging?

Yes. BuildMyListing handles both exempt straightening and disclosure-required staging in the same workflow. The straightening is processed as exempt enhancement while staging triggers appropriate AB 723 compliance documentation. You get clear separation of exempt vs disclosure-required edits.

Will MLS accept straightened photos without additional documentation?

Yes. Since photo straightening is AB 723 exempt, no special MLS documentation is required. The photos are treated as basic enhanced images, similar to exposure-corrected photos. They meet standard MLS quality requirements without triggering disclosure protocols.

How do I know if my photo correction goes beyond exempt straightening?

BuildMyListing automatically categorizes all edits. Basic straightening (horizon leveling, vertical alignment, perspective correction) remains exempt. If you request content changes like object removal or sky replacement, the system will flag these for AB 723 compliance and generate appropriate disclosure documentation.

What's the difference between exempt straightening and disclosure-required photo editing?

Exempt straightening corrects camera errors and technical flaws without changing what was photographed. Disclosure-required editing alters content - adding furniture, removing objects, changing skies, or modifying the scene. BuildMyListing clearly separates these categories and handles compliance appropriately for each type.
