1. Introduction

Rendero is a powerful AI-driven visualization tool designed primarily for architects and designers. And what is most important, by architects.

While it excels at generating high-quality renders, it also serves as an exceptional image enhancement tool. Whether refining an existing render or improving a conceptual sketch or real-life photo, Rendero allows users to elevate their visuals effortlessly. Unlike traditional editing software, Rendero enhances images intelligently while preserving the original composition, massing, and architectural details such as windows, doors, walls, and openings. Unlike other AI tools that generate images based on text prompts, Rendero enhances a base image, making it easy to control the outcome. This makes it a valuable tool for professionals who need to refine their work without compromising design accuracy.

To make things more interesting, throughout this article I will showcase several enhanced images, demonstrating the capabilities of Rendero in a real-world context.

The selected photographs are some of the most iconic in history, including the legendary Abbey Road album cover, the first Moon landing, and the famous image of workers sitting on a steel beam while constructing a skyscraper in New York City. By enhancing these well-known images, I aim to highlight how Rendero can refine details, adjust lighting, and elevate the overall visual quality while preserving the essence of the original photograph.

I used the same setup of text prompt and reference images. To make things even more interesting, this text prompt was taken from other architectural projects. I was curious to see how the architectural prompt would influence images featuring people.

The prompt:

"Create a stunning architectural visualization of a modern villa blending with its lush garden. Focus on sleek black-and-white design, clean lines, and an indoor-outdoor connection. Use high-quality materials like anthracite and white plaster, sleek metals, and warm wood accents. Highlight expansive glass elements, refined landscaping, and ambient lighting for a visually immersive composition. Photorealistic, highcontrast, textured, impressive, amaging lighting, sunshine, ultra sharp, 4K"

2. Key Features for Image Enhancement

Rendero provides several advanced features that make it ideal for enhancing architectural images and design renders:

• AI-powered Refinement – Rendero enhances given pixels, textures, lighting, and details by analyzing the existing image and intelligently refining elements without disrupting the underlying composition. This ensures that the enhanced image remains true to the original design.

• Color & Mood Adjustments – Users can modify the color scheme and atmosphere of an image with a few simple steps, helping to create different visual styles or adapt images for various presentations. Using just text prompt or referral images, you can easily define how the outcome should be colored and stylized. This includes color scheme, light setting, mood, materials used on the structure, etc…

• Segment-based Editing – One of Rendero’s standout features is its ability to divide an image into segments. This allows targeted improvements, such as refining materials, adjusting reflections, or modifying individual surfaces, while keeping the fundamental structure intact. 

However in this case, when using Rendero just for image enhancement, I usually don’t use segmentation at all

3. Step-by-Step Guide to Enhancing Images with Rendero

Using Rendero for image enhancement is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can refine your visuals with precision:

1. Upload an Image – Start by uploading an existing render, conceptual sketch, or any photography you took with your smartphone.

2. Choose Base image weight – there is nothing easier, just use a slider to set the importance of your base image. for this case I would recommend using high values, 90% and more, to make sure, Rendero keeps the most of the information given. If unhappy with the outcome, play with this value.

3. Adjust Segmentation – If necessary, use segmentation tools to apply enhancements locally, however, as mentioned above, this case of using Rendero really works nicely even withou segmentation.

4. Use a Reference Image – Apply a reference image to define the mood, lighting, and color grading of your project while maintaining spatial relationships. This step I really recommend paying attention to. It makes a huge difference. If unhappy with the outcome, play with this input.

5. Fine-tune with Text Prompts – Describe specific enhancements, such as material refinements or atmospheric adjustments, to achieve the desired effect. Usually general prompt describing final architectural rendering is enough. 

6. Finalize and Export – Once satisfied with the enhancements, export the enhanced image for presentations or further refinements.

   
   

   
   

   

4. Use Cases & Practical Applications

Rendero’s image enhancement capabilities may benefit various professionals across different industries. Here are some key applications:

• Enhancing Architectural Visualizations – Improve renders by refining materials, lighting, and shadows without altering the overall composition.

  • Improving Interior and Exterior Renders – Adjust ambiance, colors, and textures to achieve more realistic and polished visuals.

  • Refining Concept Art and Digital Sketches – Use AI-powered tools to add realism and depth to initial sketches or low-detail renders. That saves you a lot of time.

  • Enhancing Real-Life Photography – Rendero is not only a tool for architectural visualizations but also a powerful solution for improving real photography. With AI-driven enhancements, users can refine lighting, boost mood, and adjust color accuracy while preserving the original details of the photograph. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals who want to elevate the quality of their real-world images effortlessly.

5. Conclusion
