- In this video we dive into my process for high-end HDR real estate photo editing using Lightroom and Photoshop. I illustrate how to blend and edit your exposures by hand as opposed to doing an auto HDR merge which yields a much higher quality result.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
I can't imagine how much you'd have to charge a client to make editing this way viable. at 20 min per photograph, a typical 32 pic set i'd have to charge $1500 a listing to make as much as I make now using aurora hdr. I have no idea how this could be profitable i don't know any agents that are paying 1500 for 32 pictures.
the end result isn't even any better then aurora tbh.
Your exterior window scenes are darker than the interior
These are the fakest looking photos I have ever seen. I would never get any work if my photos looked like this.
It's important to understand a lot of clients think the ability for their perspective buyers to see the view from the windows is important and saves them from explaining why a house is 10 feet from their bedroom window.
@@patrickkotyuk205 seeing the view and improper exposures is 2 different things. He could have dropped the opacity of the window layer and bumped the exposure just a bit and come away with something that was far more realistic.
These are really helpful, will probably help me reduce the need for me to outsource. But anyway, outsourcing helps me spend more time with my family. edithere if someone needs it, not that I want to advertise but their service is really great.
Hi, you can use replace color (under image and adjustment) for desaturating, its much easier and accurate.
Would love to see a comparison video of doing it this way versus a normal HDR merge and some tweaks to that. Thanks again for a great video!
With normal HDR you cannot finetune the different kinds of color casts that are present on walls and furniture pieces like he does in this video by hand painting and masking. The process he does is time consuming but the benefits are obvious.
seems like a lot of work for 1 image..yes the images are amazing but when your shooting 25 images of a house (5 brackets per image) seems like a lot of editing time to me. I guess if your getting paid good then its worth it..lol.nice work!
I've watched from the beginning till the end. What can I say... Thanks for all knowledge you share with us. You help a lot of people :)
Thank you! 😊
Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket. Bitcoin will always be around because of the coin exchanges and it's own blockchain. Given.. I saw a recommendation about Mr Nicholas, I found so many people showing accolades to a man named Mr Nicholas who has made a great impact to so many young crypto investors since last year. Some said he has the best strategy to trade bitcoin, I was tired of Gdax and Binance small profits I was getting, so I reached out to him and he gave me the best tips to excel in the world of crypto. Now I don't just Hodlin, I make more gains, after three weeks I boast of increasing my bitcoin from 2BTC to 7.04BTC, all Thanks to Mr Nicholas Myron Almighty formula for trading, you all can reach out to him . @nicholas__fxtrade on Instagram
I have always been a keen subscriber to this channel mate, i admire how factual you put out your messages. Crypto currencies continue to play a commanding role in the digital market and they are not looking to slow down soonest. Investors are looking to a bullish move so as to earn from hoarding, while traders are earning from price movements. Trading has always been more profitable means of earning, this has been a major step for me, I have found a crypto guide is NICHOLAS MYRON and his signals are top notch. I must say, I haven’t seen any service as his, I made over 15 Btc within 5 weeks, and this was done solely from my daily trade sessions on my live trading account, trading from my experience is the most lucrative opportunity crypto offers yet, every crypto trader should learn the art and utilize its gains.NICHOLAS can be reached on Instagram @nicholas__fxtrade . Buy the dip!
Do you have any tips for making every room having the same theme. Color and lighting wise?
Hi Mike. Longtime Flambient shooter here who has moved over to shooting brackets and sending them out to an editor. I am now wanting to learn to do quality editing from brackets myself. Great video here! Quick question for you... How do you handle mini-blinds? Do you really select each individual blind like you did the divisions in your window in this video example? If so, I'll be pulling every miniblind up before I shoot now! Haha! Thank you!
out of curiosity y the switch?
@@fpvunbox5148 Efficiency. I will still do flambient for high end homes, but the amount of time saved with quality exposure blending more than makes financial sense.... And very very few Realtors can tell the difference, let alone care.
So did you get good with HDR blending, has it been faster for you? This video makes it seem far more time consuming than how long it takes me to process a flambient image!
@@DavidPotter85 I feel like flambient takes more time up front but faster in post. Things like mini blinds are not a problem. In the right room you can get very close to finished image with just one exposure.
Great video! I am an editor and also using careful hand-blending thing when it comes to editing. take longer but better results. Thank you for the tutorial.
*If anyone wants to save your time sitting editing, I can help you with that :)
Hello Duy, Can you sent me your contact info regarding hiring you to help out?
This is a great way to edit real estate photos if you want to work 12 hours a day for minimum wage.
It's a super nice edit, but 30 minutes per image is insane !!!
It’s called professional editing and running a photography business. I don’t think we need to rag on photographers for dedication to craft.
This is incredible. I've watched so many videos on this and you were so thorough! I watched it before a shoot today and am excited to impliment your tools. Thank you for sharing! Subscribed
Thanks!!
You are amazing! I have to confess, I've been working on these editing skills on and off for a few years and it's just not my thing. I don't enjoy the process and I'm really slow (even if I take shortcuts). Using a polygonal selection tool makes my eyes cross and fingers cramp. Doing all of this for 25 photos per property would take me hours and drive me into the ground. I found an editing service that can merge/edit my photos for about $1.50 apiece. They do fantastic work, on time, are they are great to work with. For me, it's worth it. I'm glad that I understand the process, but I'm gonna jump ship, farm this out, and focus on the stuff I do well.
Nothing wrong with that! It’s important to understand it though I think and know how to do it in a pinch
Can I ask what service you use?
beatcolor is good and who i use@@rachelkrouse
Perfect tutorial. Seen a bunch of videos giving a route to a product. You've defined a definite route to a higher quality product!! No corner cutting. Just what you need to do. Super appreciated!
Hey Mike, thanks for these tutorials! Question though... This seems much more time consuming and tedious than using the flambient technique, and I believe in another video you illustrated that flambient yields superior results. So why would you use this method in actual practice?
Bump! Please tell us lol
Flambient is more time consuming to shoot though. This method yields a similar level of quality I think to flambient albeit somewhat different of a look.
@Josh Dial adding a flash to my shooting maybe adds 5 minutes to the entire shoot. So, I would disagree that it takes longer to shoot with the idea that it takes longer overall.
how long does it take for you to edit a single photo ? is it usally 30 mins long or it just got long cause you were explaining ? i litreally have to edit more than 40 50 photos in a single day and i have to make them as good as possible with no any shadowns within 10 mins in editing and i have to like 12+ hrs straight work and still they complaining i m really thinking of leaving this stupid job, i m working so many pics and for so long just for 150$per month
why loose 30 minutes editing windows blend with select tool when in 2021 (and before) every interior photographer uses luminosity mask (1 minute blend editing)? You need learn before teaching the slow and wrong way.
Ok - but spending 30 minutes editing a real estate photo means for a typical job you spend 15 hours editing. $250 which is the market price for real estate photography in colorado divided out for the 15 hours of editing, 1 hour drive to and from the job, 2.5 hours shooting, .5 hours invoicing and client maintenance and you have done 19 hours of work for $250.
You are making $13 an hour - you can work a McDonalda for $15 an hour.
Thanks for the video ! The result is amazing, but it takes 10 times longer than HDR merging. I'm not sure my clients or any client would pay 10 times more unfortunately.
Nice, buuuuut... slow, inefficient, unnatural exterior, 2 raw files can replace your 5 jpegs. Looks nice anyways, thanks for sharing.
How do you stay in business taking this much time with one photo, when there is 30 photos a shoot on average, 2-4 shoots a day ?
Mr.High-end photographer do you know, that in real estate, there should NO blown-out part in images which you are editing. see you have wasted this image, coz window shadow have not recovered & even u have under exposed image layer....very good EDITING. & obviously u have wasted my 32 min.
I thought it ended up just slightly high in the darks. You didn't get black blacks. Maybe it's my screen. I very much appreciate the lesson. It must be a bit different if there aren't so many whites, eh? Again, thank you.
Yet another banger. ✌️❤️ Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi, is it possible to get ur bracketed photos for me to practice? Would really appreciate if you could help with it. I am trying to get myself into it but dont have a camera. Before getting the equipment, i really wana give a go with photo editing in lightroom and PS. Thanks heaps.
I’d much rather outsource editing so I can concentrate more on taking RE photos. Seems tedious but looks absolutely wonderful. Thanks for the video.
Hi Joanne, can you give me a try on your editing? I'll provide the same result as Mike showed here. you can contact me anytime at chishraqahmed@gmail.com Thanks and happy shooting ..
I actually enjoy the editing part so if someone could send me HD RE photos (you), I could work on them! It would be a great match!
@@ishraqahmad9899 Just sent you an email regarding your comment for hire.
Hi Joanne. Where do you outsource these editors?
@@sonsterb1644 got it.
Nice results, but on the other hand the result is something quite different from reality. That, and excessive use of wide angle lenses, must result in a lot of disappointed prospective buyers!
This is wonderful and I respect this craft. But you're not running a viable real estate photo business taking this time on each photo. Still useful for one off images though I do get it.
Okay I have a practical question concerning workflow. Let me say first that I certainly appreciate the art behind this type of thing however if you’re shooting 40 to 50 pictures on average for a house and you’re spending 30 to 40 minutes in post for each picture how do you Bill for that. If you had 50 images that you spent 30 minutes in post for each And let’s say you’re billing conservatively at $50 an hour, you’re upwards of $1200-$1300 just in post production. I don’t know any real estate agents that are willing to pay that kind of money for real estate photos
This is a demonstration video done slowly so people can follow it and understand it. You can pick and choose which aspects you want to incorporate into your own workflow that fits with the amount of time you want to spend on each image.
Mike - can you do a tutorial of using the new Photoshop “Merge HDR Pro” feature for Real Estate Interiors?
An excellent video - but that background musak is terrible. No musak required.
I like your channel and your content and this is great to see and know, but this is just not efficient and the windows still have halos. I prefer the flambient way of doing things and doing a window pull and they are pretty perfect and easy.
Mike, your videos are great. I am glad to see hand blended HDR. That said, how is using flash , with so much less editing not easier?
Great video, very informative, I was kind of waiting for the sunlight shining on the floor through the windows to be removed and brush the floor with the same wood colour, I am not finding faults but like to learn.
Can we get a SQUARE brush from Photoshop already!
I know this video is 3 years old but dude thank you! I’ve been struggling with my HDR in lightroom and understand why now. I feel like it’s been what I’ve been missing to really take my business to the next step.
Same. I've Ben masking in LR w better results now.
Yawn.... like he can do 3 shoots a day like this... took him.30 mins for one pic... pbbbbttt
Your channel is highly underrated.. Your walkthroughs are perfect
I have followed this to the letter but when I paint my first mask instead of getting lighter it gets darker?!
I have watched a ton of your videos and for me its you and Nathan Cool as the top guys on this topic. I am extremely grateful for these videos. I have learned a ton from you. My biggest question/comment is your out-of-camera pictures have far less cast on them than mine. They always look so good and you get a lot of your hand blended HDR shots to look extremely similar to flambient. Is the Sony camera that much better for real estate? I use a Canon r5 with an rf15-35 and my colors are always a long way from the flambient images color-wise, much more so than these images, pre-edit.
Thanks! There’s a lot of factors involved. Mainly the lighting situation in the house. If it’s well lit then you’ll have a much better starting point with the ambient brackets then in a poorly lit room for sure. I can’t really speak to the difference between canon and Sony. That would be a great test to do though! If I can get my hands on a canon I will make that video.
I'm a total n00b at PS, and this tutorial made me feel like a wizard by the end! Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for this video. My real estate photos are way better since I’ve been watching all your videos! I really appreciate u doing this for us new guys and gals coming in!
You'd rather do all this on the computer than flash-ambient?
Im sorry but who spends this much time on each image. Doesn't seem sufficient to me
You can fix the color cast and white cabinets much quicker most of the time by using the 'color replacement brush'. See the example I made for a friend:
th-cam.com/video/A5w0I9uhaOw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=tomzphone
Nice! Thanks for sharing that tip!
Where's the donate button? Great video
I've learned more from this video than school ever taught me
I'm sorry if your not shooting RAW because your HD is too small, you need to upgrade your hardware. RAW is a lot more useful.
It certainly can be and I mainly shoot in raw these days but when you’re capturing 5 brackets you have all the information you need to make a composited image that will look great without needing any of the advantages a RAW image provides. There’s not need to push the exposure or push any parameter of any of the 5 images for that matter that a RAW image would be beneficial for with the exception of maybe some color correction/white balance adjustments. Point is, you can definitely work with JPGs in this sort of photography and be fine no doubt about it.
Don’t you think that’s too much work specially when these pictures are uploaded to Zillow or Realtor with low quality and people don’t pay attention to all these small details like the fan or fridge colors?
You don’t have to do every step. Pick and choose which aspects you might want to include in your own work (if any).
I sure hope you are charging a literal fortune for the amount of work that you're having to do on just this ONE image. By the way, you should consider looking into the camera when talking and not showing the viewer your screen. Thanks for the video.
What is everybody setting their white balance to when shooting ? I assume auto but I don't want to assume 🤣🙏
Yes, auto
Not a fan of HDR at all.
Ive moved to shooting flash, and the results are a billion times better!
Yes, time consuming, but that's why they pay you the big bucks
Wouldn't it be easier to take everything with lights off and then an exposure with them on and just mask in the lights?
If the room was very very well lit with natural light then yeah, that could work. Most cases you need the lights to illuminate the room so the photo isn’t muddy and dark.
i can tell u have masked a few windows in your day
Hi is this better way to do than flambient?
After you used the quick selection tool on the fan, what key did you hit to return it back to the normal color. In the video you said "im just gonna hit x", but i tried hitting x with the fan blade selected and it just was toggling the white and black, like it normally does without changing the fan blade color.
looks awesome but i am going to send you a mouse! :P
Are these bracketed pictures available online to practise the art?
This video does have that available (check description):
th-cam.com/video/1hH5s8FRDIg/w-d-xo.html
The fact that you did not clip out your goofs makes your tutorial flawlessly presented. You always do a fantastic job illustrating real world scenarios and showing great detail in the workflow process.
Looking forward to your Photoshop actions video!
How you do lens corection with jpg files? Lightroom do not see all lenses in jpg.
If you are doing this type of editing I would recommend raw files
th-cam.com/video/RkpRs-Bmuts/w-d-xo.html
what macbook did you use in this vidoe and woul you recommend it over a pc
for editing
just wondering, why u edit the final image in lightroom and not in camera raw filter in photoshop?🤔
Because I like having all of the images in one collection so I can batch export/resize them all when I’m finished editing.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography good to know, thanks 👍, and great content!
can you do a tutorial where you give us a link to download the photos you edit?
Great session. I can imagine this gets very tedious for a basic house. I have a large home coming up and will be using this on that one. Thanks!
Great job! Curious, do you do this for every photo you take for real estate? I'm a real estate photographer and I send a min 40-50 photos to my realtors. This is something I would do for my interior designers or new builds. Seems very time consuming if you regularly do real estate photography. Great job none the less!
Thanks! I use these techniques to varying degrees depending on the job. It is more of a “high-end” product.
These are very great tips. Thank you so much for sharing!
Sorry if this is a dumb Q...If the white balance is off in your bracketed shots, do you do the white balance in lightroom first before transferring to photoshop?
I don’t believe in dumb questions 😊 no, I don’t do any adjustments to white balance or color correction of any kind until the brackets are blended in photoshop.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Thank-you!!
Is there anyway to speed this proces up? like 30 min for a window is not doable cost wise :( would take me 18 hours for every house :P
Effn Badass thanks!
Hope you're getting paid a ton for this because that was some very time consuming editing. Also, there are quite a few ways to do some of these things a lot easier. Great tutorial though.
HI. i love watching your videos i have been doing image editing work for last 6 years . how to apply for freelance work .for real estate company please tell me
Noticed that you mention that you don’t shoot raw in this video, but in your other video on flambient lighting you do shoot raw. What prompted the change?
I mentioned in 1 of my videos about shooting jpg if you are auto merging HDRs in Lightroom and doing some light editing on them. Jpg will hold up if if you’re only doing slight tweaks. For anything else I’d definitely recommend RAW.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography That makes sense, thanks for the clarification!
I am unsure at the very beginning what exposure you are blending into which as you don't mention. Can you please explain?
Damn this is a lot of work when I have 25-30 photos to deliver and multiple houses shot a day.
Hey! Would you tend to do this for every photo you took in the house? I feel like that takes forever! Or do you only do this much detail for a few key shots, and HDR blend the rest?
or maybe this is just a high paying job and you're doing every photo perfectly. idk!
Yes, all the photos would be edited in this manner. As I said in the video, for I was just trying to take it slow for teaching purposes to illustrate the process and make it easy for people understand. Usually it would go quicker and I would use photoshop actions and things like that to speed up the process. Some shots don’t have windows in them either so those go quick. That said, it is a longer and more involved process than merging your images for sure but the result is significantly better in my opinion. Yes, you would have to decide if what you’re getting paid justifies it or not.
It is a great video, but yes, very time consuming. Using lights, as he mention in later comments, cut down the editing process massively. Look up the 'flambient' method.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography how much people getting paid ?
i m getting like 150$ per month and have to edit like 40 or more photos within 10 min for each photos so sometimes there is some mistakes but if were to edit a single photo taking like 30 mins then it would take forever and clients want them edited within 12 hrs -_-
@@obethlama6415 I don't want to brag but you need to find high clients who pay you for your work. 150 a month for 40 images sounds like a joke to me. Last Saturday I shoot a house for 2000 euros for the same amount of images. And I always tell them how much it's gonna take until they get the images. Do not Stress yourself for anything because I am sure that you are worth way more.
@@ogdvisuals thanks man that was a great help and a motivation to me, its just that the country i live in is a mess and i had to that just to earn 150 a month and i edit like more than 20 house within a month and cause of i m living in this shitty ass country i cant even do freelance cause its kinda hard to use or almost impossible to use paypal and bank transfer takes like 1 week
Wouldn't using lighten and darken mode on your layers work quicker? As it only reveals the lighter or darker areas in underlying layers....
Really good tutorial you didn't speak too fast but you made everything really clear and easily to understand. Do you use a Wacom and a pen surely you're not using a mouse?
Thank you very much for the tutorial, Mike! Ive been using PS for quite a while, and I still picked up some really useful pointers in this.
Great video. Thanks. Would you be able to go through your Sony a7iii settings for real estate photography. ?
Thanks! I go through all of my settings in this video: th-cam.com/video/oQ8yomPmOos/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful!
Amazing tutorial, I work with high ends properties in my area and use HDR bracketing technic but this hand blending method is by far better. The thing is sometimes I do 2-3 shootings a week and they all need their photos under 5 days because that’s the time they have to put some pictures on the websites once they signed up their listing so correct me if I’m wrong but even with all the action presets it’s might still a 20-30 minutes process for each photos ... that’s almost 2 days of editing for one session ... that’s very time consuming when you have a life and not single living in your basement lol I wish I could use that hand blending technic and fine tuning but I just have no time for that and my clients
It can be streamlined. Take what you want from it and create a technique that works for you!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography i will definitely give it a try, again amazing content on this channel. Thank you so much
that's why flambient is more efficient? what's your technique of choice? HDR or flambient?
hi ! Do you use preset for Real Estate photo ? or are you creating one ?
Their other ways. Might be faster to use daylight LED light bulbs in the pendants.
I want to editor
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you.
how and do you choose to do either hdr or flambient?
I’ll do flambient if it’s a job that I am going to edit myself and not outsource (usually a higher end property) otherwise I’ll just shoot hdr
When you fill the windows back in with white, how do you match the color tone to what's around it? I am trying to clean up a dresser with scratch marks and want to paint it white but because of the lighting, it casts different tones of white.
Thank you very much if you provide us with the above sample files so that we can practice on them
Whats the best focal length for inside real estate ?
My preference is 16-35mm lens on full frame camera
THANK YOU, as always for your videos!! Just one note: I was actually confused by the description of the video and almost didn't even watch it. I think you meant to write "I illustrate how to blend and edit your exposures by hand which yields a much higher quality result as opposed to doing an auto HDR. (I taught English for way too many years!)
Darken Mode for window pulls, get a flash shot
Your am amazing instructor easy to follow and straightforward
Great video. How long does in normally take you to complete 40 photographs?
Hi Mike,
real estate beginner here and very new to PS, as I usually use LR but I want to learn. I may be a newbie to Photoshop but I am learning as I go and I feel like everytime I push myself in it, I will learn a little more. In the start you moved the third image up and then added a layer and the layer was black, mine is white. How do I change that and does it matter? the part where you say "fills it with black and hides it". I can not figure out how to change that to black. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey! If you option (alt) - click on the layer mask button it will add a black layer mask instead of white.
Thanks for the tutorial. Personally, Window pulls are not to my personal liking I don't know it looks too fake for me but a great demo on how to do them.
Do you do every client regardless of price like this or do you have banding where you then switch your editing to this style as its a higher paid job?
Thanks! Yeah I hear you, not everyone likes them. You don’t have to go as extreme, just adjust to your personal preference. From my experience clients do seem to like it. All my editing is done this way currently for HDR shooting and it’s built into my price but you certainly could have different tiers and charge accordingly. Whatever you feel suits your clients needs and your business.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Yeah they are definitely the more high end style and architectural look. I think the reason they don't sit right with me is that they look like a CAD render. How do you deal with Blinds and shutters with them window pulls
Thanks for the information I might create tiers as that style would increase my editing time that's for sure.
@@matthewosbornmedia8828 method is the same for blinds and things like that. Just cut out the window and paint the blinds back in as I did with the crossbars in the video.
I like Photomatix Pro does all the editing work.
Well done! I’ve been looking for a video on how to do this, and this was great!
