Totally get the concern, and I actually agree on the “Instagram-ification” problem.

What ProntoPic does is basically what a professional real estate photographer already does in Lightroom: fix lighting, white balance, perspective, and sharpness. No adding pools, no changing furniture, no fake sunsets, no staging things that aren’t there. My girlfriend is an interior designer, so I see firsthand how much effort goes into making spaces look 100% accurate but well presented.

The goal isn’t to misrepresent reality, just to make photos look like they were taken properly.

In practice this mostly helps small hosts and agents who don’t have the budget or time for professional shoots. Right now they’re uploading dark, crooked, yellowish photos that actively hurt bookings (like the ones in the hp, real examples).

I guess I need to make it clearer in the site. Thank you for the feedback!

Yeah that's fair enough. I've rented out my apartment on Airbnb and good photos are the key. I paid a real life photographer back in the day. As long as it doesn't change, clean or improve what's actually there in the apartment, and just makes you a better photographer I think that's fine. Good luck with it.
