Easy 4-Step Process

1Load 'Bracketing' App

The secret to creating professional real estate images is rapid-burst exposure-bracketing. This is the only way to have crisp and clear outdoor window views while maintaining a bright interior scene.

Rapid-Burst: Several photos taken upon one press of the shutter button

Exposure-Bracketing: Multiple images of the same view at different exposure levels

HDR Merging: The process of merging the best areas of different exposure images

This feature is not yet available with any standard smartphone camera app. It required loading a cheap/free camera app for iOS or Android devices. (Some devices offer an HDR option - but this is only simulated and not true HDR. It will not handle the window pull required for real estate photography). With an rapid-burst exposure-bracketing app with each press of the shutter button you will create a photo-set with all image-data required to HDR-Merge professional real estate images.

2Take Your Photos

Always hold your device in ‘landscape’ (horizontal) orientation, never in ‘portrait’ (vertical) direction. It is strongly recommended that all pictures be taken in RAW photo format and with use of a tripod for stability. Each burst will last about two seconds. The device must be held perfectly still for this duration. If not, the photos may be blurry which are not repairable. RAW format photos are non-compressed, therefore, maintain all original image data. If you happen to have a device that does not support RAW, the next best option is JPEG images. There will be some limitations, nevertheless, your photos can still be professionally edited.

It is important to note RAW files are 5-10 times larger than JPEG or HEIC files. Each shutter tap will take 3 photos. So before you begin, be certain your device has enough memory space for a minimum 150 RAW photos.

3Upload Photos

After scheduling ProPicFix real estate photo editing, you will receive a confirmation email including an upload link. This link will allow you to upload directly from the photo library on your mobile device. You can also upload from a folder on your desktop or laptop if preferred. The upload will be very large and take some time – you may need to separate into multiple sets depending on your connection speed.

Please pick through your photos and upload only those you wish to include on your listing before the uploading process. The upload form includes a text-box for comments and instructions. Sharing information will help focus the editing process.

4Download Edited Images

When processing is finished, you will receive an email with the completed images attached. The files will be web optimized (1536px x 1024px) versions in JPEG format as preferred by real estate listing services. You can expect your processed photos in 24-48 hours. (If you have specific timeline constraints please outline during the scheduling process.)

If any of the images are required for print media – the full-size printable file will be shared as well. Much larger files, only 1 or 2 print images can be attached per email. Therefore, please specify which particular images are needed for print media.

Payment: Credit Card, PayPal, and Venmo payments are all accepted.
