Real Estate Photo Retouching
Helping agents sell real estate
A real estate buy and sell is an ongoing activity. The first thing that can attract a potential buyer is the image of the property that he or she is going to buy. As real estate photography needs a great amount of skill and experience, there is always a scope to enhance the picture your photographer has taken. This is where the idea of real estate retouching comes to play its role.
PicsRetouch Process of Real Estate Retouching
A real estate retoucher can help remove dust, correct exposure and light, adjust brightness and contrast, remove lens distortion, correct perspective, join multiple photos, add or remove people or objects, and do a variety of other things to enhance the image and make it more appealing to a prospective buyer.
Three levels of real estate photo editing
Basic
Almost all real estate photographs need to be processed through the basic steps of cleaning and correcting errors. These may include but not limited to exposure correction, such as under and over exposure adjustment, noise reduction, color correction and balancing, perspective correction and scaling, straightening of horizon, image sharpening, depth and contrast adjustments, cropping, resizing and removal of dust, dirt, spots and lens glare. A photographer may choose to work on Lightroom to fix most of the problems, but professional retouching can enhance the image quality quite significantly.
Medium
Photo enhancement and manipulation can take a real estate retouching job to the next level. Prior to effect any change in the image, we need to correct lens distortion, remove color cast and adjust white balance. Panoramic photo stitching is often a requirement in the real estate industry as it helps a potential buyer get an overview of the property from many different angles. Advanced techniques, long experiences and sharp skills are needed to join multiple pictures and create a well blended panoramic image. Still image enhancement, sky replacement, lawn & garden enhancement, and color enhancement are some other services provided at this level. Adding a blue sky, giving water a bluish hue, saturating green foliage, and adding fire to fire place are some usual color enhancement techniques.
Advanced
Showcase your properties in the best light. Real estate agents can take advantage of cutting-edge technologies to woo a prospective buyer. While drone image editing is a recent phenomenon, several others have become industry standards. These may include HDR processing, 360 degree virtual tour, wide-angle panoramas, and hi-end photo manipulation and enhancement. Adding virtual furniture, color tone matching, removal of unwanted objects and people, reflection removal, and highlighting and brightening shadows are among the techniques we use to give print-quality real estate retouching services.
