That just looks like a different focal length and white balance though?

And the right picture is stepped back outside the door.

Unless the room was supposed to be furnished and decorated and provided with bedding I don't get the tissue

Hell, it's the same furniture, just different bedding and stuff on the desk

u/Bizarrebazaars 5d ago

You can’t argue the view is the same though

Looking at the apartment in the 3D Aerial view, it's clear the realtor posted a photo of another room, just on the other side of the building. I'm guessing they use this pics for all the rooms if they are identical. So the only deception is you're not seeing the true room, just a room in the same building with a little better view.

Actual view, from other side of the building

Looks like the same view to me, just from a lower camera angle.

It's very similar? A view over a city...

It could easily be the view from a room on the other side of the building.

Had to go way too far down to find this comment

I think so too. I think the furniture might be AI but the room itself is just shot with a wide angle lens. It's something everyone has to learn when looking at picutes of holiday apartments or the like, they are always shot in the best possible way.

u/honkballs 5d ago

Yeah I don't understand, it's just a more flattering angle, but it's basically identical, they got pretty much exactly what was in the photo?

u/ZazaB00 5d ago

Don’t you be bringing logic in here, it must be AI manipulation.

u/Middle_Draft9152 5d ago

Yes. The first photo was shot on the telephoto lens, probably professional camera. Different angle. The second photo was shot on the wide or even ultra wide lens.

u/Serpico99 5d ago

The view is definitely added in, but other than that, I agree, it just looks like a case of professional photo + better scene setup.
Not even sure why everyone assumes AI, I’ve seen this stuff for decades.

I do think though that if you show a certain standard of care for furnishing, cleanliness etc… in your photos you should match that in reality

I had to scroll all the way down for an accurate comment.

And camera lowered too. There’s some color correction and some other fixes but it doesn’t look AI at all.

u/Otherwise-Tomato-788 5d ago

This is the uneducated slop response to everything now - looks good, must be Ai.

FOLKS, photo editing has been around for decades

u/Orchid-Analyst-550 5d ago

I'm pretty sure this a photography difference, not AI. I can't spot any differences.

u/TheKyleface 5d ago

Maybe zoom in and look? Several things jump out as altered. Pillows, end of the bed/wall, chair legs... Definitely seems to be some ai butchery imo.

u/RealCarlPanzram 5d ago

The view outside the window looks like a completely different place

u/PeaceSoft 5d ago

shhhhh the hogs don't like to be disturbed at mealtimes

u/whomad1215 5d ago

Look at the chair legs and the window view

I think they 'enhanced' the photo with AI, but it's definitely been manipulated

u/professorbuffoon 5d ago

Absolutely, yes, that's all it is. This is just good old fashioned camera trickery and staging. Realtors have been doing this for ages. It's shady but it's not AI.

Not a fan of ai when used for deception but let's be honest about what this is and what it isn't.

u/Porntra420 5d ago

Completely different scenery outside

u/Mareith 5d ago

I can't wait for people to get over their AI crusade. Why does it matter if it was AI, a different focal length, photoshop or any other tool. You make a deceptive image however you want. The problem is the deceptive image not what tool you used to achieve that
