Should I learn DIY photography or use AI?
For speed and consistency, AI wins. Learning DIY is valuable for unique angles and creative control, but takes significant time investment.
Can I use both approaches?
Yes - shoot basic reference photos yourself, then use AI to transform them into professional listings. Best of both worlds.
What if my DIY photos are bad quality?
AI can enhance reasonably lit photos, but cannot fix extreme blur or darkness. Focus on good lighting and stability when shooting source images.
