HDR Processing transforms an average smartphone photo into a fantastic real estate listing image
The first step is to create vertical lines - removing the distortion created by the smartphone wide-angle lens
The final step is brightening colors, enhancing window scenes, and sharpening the focus area
Wide angle lenses will create tapered images - Distortion Correction will return vertical lines as seen naturally be the human eye
The bright sun will create indoor window glare and darkened details - with exposure bracketing these problems can be repaired
In this image the distortion was corrected - window scenes enhanced, and an image added to the TV screen
Brightening the scene and returning crisp colors were given the additional touches of a TV screen image and fire
The view through large windows can be difficult to capture due to the bright sun washing out the entire image
Indoor lighting can have a yellowing effect on the entire room. These can be repaired to the natural bright interior
Overcast days will leave a dull view – blue sky and bright green grass will greatly enhance an outdoor scene
Highlighting property lines can be a desirable listing addition – this can be done with lines, pins, or coloring areas
Indoor and out sometimes there are items that could not be removed prior to photographing – often these items can be removed
Heavy shadowing has completely removed detail from the front of this home – but editing expertise has returned the scene
