Frequently Asked Questions

Why are color correction and white balance exempt from AB 723 disclosure requirements?

Color correction and white balance adjustments fall under basic technical corrections, similar to exposure adjustment. AB 723 considers these fundamental image quality improvements that correct camera and lighting errors, not content alteration. No disclosure is required because you're fixing technical flaws, not changing what was photographed.

What types of color issues can I fix without triggering AB 723 compliance?

You can correct tungsten orange casts, fluorescent blue tints, LED green casts, mixed lighting temperature, and overall white balance without disclosure. These are considered technical corrections. Content alterations like changing wall colors, adding colored lighting, or altering décor colors would require disclosure.

How does BuildMyListing ensure color correction doesn't alter room features?

The AI only adjusts lighting temperature and color balance without changing actual room colors, furniture, or décor. Color correction neutralizes lighting casts while preserving all original colors and materials within exempt enhancement boundaries.

Can I do color correction on photos that also need virtual staging?

Yes. BuildMyListing handles both exempt color correction and disclosure-required staging in the same workflow. The color correction 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 color-corrected photos without additional documentation?

Yes. Since color correction 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 color editing goes beyond exempt correction?

BuildMyListing automatically categorizes all edits. Basic color correction (white balance, cast removal, temperature adjustment) remains exempt. If you request content changes like changing wall colors, adding colored filters, or altering décor colors, the system will flag these for AB 723 compliance and generate appropriate disclosure documentation.

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

Exempt color correction fixes lighting and camera white balance issues without changing actual room colors. Disclosure-required editing alters content - changing wall colors, adding colored lighting effects, or modifying décor colors. BuildMyListing clearly separates these categories and handles compliance appropriately for each type.
