In real estate photo editing, my main tasks would involve enhancing the visual appeal of property photos to attract potential buyers or renters. Here’s a breakdown of what I might do:
Color Correction and White Balance Adjustment: Ensuring that the colors in the photo are accurate and pleasing. This includes adjusting white balance to make sure whites appear neutral.
Exposure Adjustment: Balancing the exposure to ensure that both interior and exterior details are visible and well-lit, especially in rooms with varying light levels.
Lens Distortion Correction: Correcting any distortion caused by wide-angle lenses, ensuring straight lines appear straight and not distorted.
HDR Blending: Combining multiple exposures (if available) to create a balanced image with details in both highlights and shadows, which is particularly useful for interior shots with windows.
Object Removal: Removing distracting objects such as power lines, vehicles, or clutter that detract from the property's appeal.
Sky Replacement: Enhancing or replacing the sky to create a more appealing backdrop, especially if the original sky was overcast or dull.
Virtual Staging: Adding virtual furniture or decor to vacant rooms to help potential buyers visualize the space's potential.
Detail Enhancement: Sharpening details to make the photo appear crisp and clear, especially for close-up shots of features like countertops, flooring, or fixtures.
Perspective Correction: Adjusting perspective to make sure vertical lines are straight, which is crucial for exterior shots of buildings.
Final Touch-ups: Making final adjustments to ensure the overall composition and quality of the photo meet professional standards.
Overall, the goal of real estate photo editing is to make the property look as appealing and inviting as possible, while remaining truthful to the actual appearance of the space. This helps in attracting potential buyers or renters by showcasing the property in its best light.
