RetouchMe Pro: A Powerful and Easy-to-Use Architecture Photo Editor

Photography of real estate is a crucial element in creating its image for potential buyers or renters. A good photograph helps showcase the property in the most favorable light, highlighting its strengths and concealing potential flaws.

High-quality real estate shooting helps draw additional attention to the property on specialized websites, brochures, and other advertising placements. Sometimes, even if a client was not initially interested in this type of property, an appealing photo can compel them to consider new real estate options.

Real estate photos significantly save time in property viewing, as they allow remote inspection and provide a wealth of information. Property owners, as well as designers and architects, often turn to real estate photography. When a project is completed after renovation or reconstruction, real estate photos come in handy for the designer's portfolio or as a keepsake for the property owners.

What problems can editing architectural photography solve?

Real estate photography often requires retouching. Expert digital artists at RetouchMe PRO specialize in architectural photo editing, with extensive experience and a deep understanding of this craft.

• Typically, exterior photography of real estate is done using a wide-angle lens. While this provides certain advantages in capturing a broader view, it can distort the straightness of lines in the subject. In architecture, straight lines should indeed appear perfectly straight; otherwise, the entire composition of the photo can be compromised, and the photograph may not look aesthetically pleasing. Real estate photo retouching addresses this issue by straightening lines, leveling horizons, and giving the building a more architectural appearance. Perfect right angles create a perfectly proportioned photograph of a building.

• Sometimes it is impossible to take a photo of a house from the most advantageous angle due to various reasons. For example, neighboring houses, trees, or lampposts may obstruct the view. The real estate photo editing app RetouchMe PRO can address this issue by shifting the focus to the most favorable angle. Perspective correction is carried out, which significantly enhances the visual quality of the photograph and allows it to be used in advertising.

• To bring a photograph to its most aesthetically pleasing state, you can remove wires, debris, fallen leaves, dirt, advertising signs from the exterior, and sensors and wires from the interior using an architecture photo editor. Some issues can be addressed during the actual photo shoot, but there are moments that cannot be concealed. For instance, sensors and wires are a part of our daily life in an apartment or house, but they are unlikely to enhance the promotional photos of the property. Retouchers at the real estate photography editing service RetouchMe PRO know which details to eliminate and which ones to emphasize in order to make real estate photos look as attractive as possible.
• Brightness and contrast are crucial elements in real estate photo retouching. Exterior shots of houses and apartments are not always taken under ideal conditions, at the right time of day, and lighting conditions can vary, being either too low or too harsh. As for interior photography, achieving perfect shots may require specialized studio lighting, which is not always feasible or appropriate for non-studio settings. Another important aspect to consider is the presence of artificial lighting in interior spaces. Different light bulbs emit light of varying color temperatures, ranging from cool, pale blue to warm, yellowish light. All of this can undoubtedly impact the outcome of a photograph. The color and lighting in photos should visually harmonize both within a single photograph and across a series of photos as a whole. Retouchers at one of the most convenient real estate photography editing services, RetouchMe Pro, not only adjust the brightness and contrast of the photograph but also perform appropriate color correction to make the photo more appealing and aesthetically pleasing.

What other aesthetic problems can an experienced editor solve using the RetouchMe Pro application? For instance, you may need to remove litter in the frame, fallen leaves, add vibrancy and greenery to the grass, make trees or bushes look lusher, clean up reflections in windows. You can also crop the photo, concealing unnecessary details and aligning the composition of the shot, or replace a section of the sky with a more appealing one - you'll get all these services by ordering the real estate photo editing package from RetouchMe.
