Why am I charged 5 credits for a virtual twilight and 1 credit to download it?

Virtual Twilight has two separate steps — 5 credits for the AI to generate the conversion, then 1 credit to download the final photo, for 6 credits total. You're not being charged twice; generation and download are two distinct actions.

The two twilight features

Virtual Twilight (Listings page) — 6 credits total

Converts a daytime photo into a fully lit evening shot. 5 credits cover the AI processing to create the conversion. Then, like any edited photo in AutoHDR, it costs 1 credit to download.

Twilight Model (Upload page) — 5 credits

If you shot at night and uploaded those photos with the Twilight model selected, that's a 5-credit edit. This is for photos already shot at twilight that you want styled — not for converting a daytime photo.

Quick rule of thumb

• Daytime → evening conversion = 6 credits (5 to generate + 1 to download).
• Already-shot twilight photos processed on upload = 5 credits.
