What unlocking a property gets you
When your photos are ready, you see them on the website as watermarked previews. Unlocking turns them into the real thing.
What you get
- The watermarks come off. Your gallery now shows the clean photos.
- Full-size downloads. One button gives you a zip with every unlocked photo, at the full size your phone took it. The files are numbered in listing order: the front of the house first, then the rooms, and the other outside shots last.
- Twilight edits. You can add a twilight edit to any unlocked photo, for 1 token each. Twilight versions go into the same zip, next to the originals. They're a bit smaller than the originals.
How the price works
You always unlock the whole property, never single photos. It costs 1 token for each finished photo. A shoot with 17 finished photos costs 17 tokens.
The bar at the bottom of the property page shows the price, like "Unlock the property — 17 tokens". The button says "Unlock for 17 tokens". You pay exactly what the button shows. If more photos finish while the page is open, nothing is charged. The page reloads and shows the new price.
If you don't have enough tokens, the page says how many more you need, and the button changes to "Get more tokens". Need more tokens during the beta? Email support@cove.media.
Once it's done, you'll see "Unlocked — watermarks removed."
Photos added later
Did you send more photos to a property you already unlocked? You only pay for the new ones. The page shows how many are new since you last unlocked. Photos you already paid for are never charged again. They stay in your download while the new ones wait to be unlocked.
Photos that didn't come out
You only pay for finished photos. If a photo couldn't be finished, it isn't counted in the price.
Free photos
Every photo you unlock frees one spot in your free photo limit. That's how many photos you can send for editing without paying. See How tokens and pricing work.
Before you delete a property
Deleting a property removes all of its photos from your account, including the ones you unlocked. Download what you need first.
