I really hope this method helps some of you out.

This is the first tutorial I've ever written so please feel free to ask any questions if something doesn't make sense and I will answer them as soon as I can. Once you play around with this, you'll probably want to do the same to really speed things up. I have actions setup that take care of most of the work for me. Then get rid of anything weird like that wire in the left hand of the image and you're set. As you can see, my sensor was filthy when I shot this image so you'll want to spot any of that if it's showing. I tend to use a variety of tools depending on what I'm going for. Next, you'll want to crop out whatever edges are overlapping.Īfterward, use selective color, color balance or local desaturation to finalize color correction. (I've purposely stretched the walls a lot here to give an example.) You can use warp to be a little more precise with it. When using perspective, simply drag the bottom or top corner to the left or right to correct skewed lines. Now you can transform the layer and use perspective and warp to make lens corrections. Now flatten the image and duplicate the new layer. You just want to be able to see a little bit of detail in everything. Now you can slowly erase any shadows that are too dark, but try not to over do it. Select your eraser tool and drop the opacity to somewhere between 5% and 10%. This should already give you a pretty decent look. (Not really) On your over exposed layer, apply the multiply blending change. Add a white layer beneath the under exposed image. In the next step, you'll drag the over exposed image so that it's on top of the under exposed image. Again, adjust tint and temperature accordingly. Next, adjust the fill light on the over exposed image a bit. (A huge problem I have is florescent lighting exposing green.) Adjust temperature accordingly and tint accordingly. It all depends on whether or not the fill light blew out your highlights. Occasionally, I'll also adjust recovery a little. On the under exposed image, adjust your fill light to bring out detail in all shadows. Start off by opening both files in Camera Raw. For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to use a scene lit during the magic hour. I generally shoot at -2/+2, but you may want to mess around with your exposures and see what works better for your particular scene. The closer you are to a leveled image, the less correction you'll have to do later. After posting a few examples of real estate photography in another thread and generating a lot of interest, I've decided to write up a tutorial to demonstrate how I do it.įirst thing you'll need is a sturdy tripod with a level.
