There is no use of such photographs as they won’t get any views leading to low or no sale. As every coin got two sides so does the field of photography. While the camera clicks what isn’t presentable this is exactly where the real estate photo editing comes into the picture to enhance the value of real estate photography.

• 1. Bridge the gap between imagination and reality : Clicking a picture is just half way through. It takes editing to complete the cycle of professional photography. While you see a raw picture you may find that there are minor gaps between what it is and what a buyer may expect.

  Like the dull gray clouds over an exceptional property but it won’t attract any buyer as compared to a picture which has blue fluffy clouds .Sky enhancement provides a volume and color to the picture.

  Another example could be a beautiful but empty home with no interiors, and no furniture now what happens in this case- even if a buyer wants to buy a property he won’t as it doesn’t give him an idea as it what home will look like with all the furniture around this leaves him confused as he doesn’t know what he will do with home after he has shifted and settled in the house.

  So with the help of virtual editing we can make a home look homely by adding interiors and furniture which helps in bridging the gap between what is and what it could be by overcoming the shortcoming of reality through virtual setups.

  No matter how amazing the property could be but a dull, unfinished and frameless photograph doesn’t give a good impression about the seller as well as the ruins the impression of property and shows the casual attitude.

  Every industry has its own standards and parameters and real estate is no less when it comes to dealing professionally .Appreciation for edited photos isn’t a new concept but an important aspect as it gives you an edge over so many others who are running their businesses on the same lines as you.

• 3. Picture Clarity: Even the in-house photographer won’t visit the same place to click property let alone a hired one.

  A photographer clicks as per his skill, experience and knowledge, so with internal abilities he has some control over what he clicks but with external factors like weather, lighting, seasons, and the depreciating concept of furniture and property over time; he the photographer has no control.

  The photographer clicks from various angles and frames but still there will be times when no shot will be considered the best shot. Rather than going back to the property and investing time isn’t it feasible that with editing tools one can remove all the imperfections of the photo, enhance it and put it across the online platforms without the unnecessary hustle.

  Blending colors, sky enhancement, sharpness and a lot more features not only make picture presentable but also clear and sharp. Clear pictures are what buyers look for over the burred ones.
