How you can edit like a professional using Lightroom? The 5 Proven Steps

 


When it comes to retouching your images, real estate picture editors are using different apps and software to do the best magic.

In this regard, real estate picture editors should have the flexible skill in setting to use whatever tools are on hand.

One of the famous editing tools in this business now is Adobe Lightroom.

Perhaps, you have your ideas about how the software works, and that’s really great!

But, when you are able to master all functionalities of the tool, nothing will stop you from making the best images for your real estate.

First, let us describe what is Lightroom.

They say that you’re missing lots of opportunities already when you are a photographer that never uses Lightroom.

Somehow, this is true. However, it is not yet too late to discover new things.

The same as Photoshop, Lightroom is a product developed by Adobe Systems. Both of them are editing software.

But, unlike Photoshop, Lightroom is un-destructive software – which means that it separates an original image from the other in-programs to edit.

Simplified, Lightroom is the RAW converter.

Hence, if you are adding photos, it handles a file type in its background, and not like the other software, wherein you’ll need to use the other program for editing and conversion.

The Lightroom supports photos of every kind of format, apart from being flexible to use.

It possessed that simple interface for the simple editing and processing of images. Furthermore, you can preset with this kind of software, making it even more appealing for the editors to use.

TL; DR: Now, it’s time to discover how you can use this tool just like a professional. Here are the 5 practical steps for you.

ALWAYS SHOOT PHOTOS IN RAW FILES

The RAW files are the uncompressed files.

Not like PNG, JPEG, and some other formats. The RAW files are giving you fewer restrictions and more options when editing an image.

When you process the RAW images, the picture is normally darker when compared with the usual. And so, this is where the tool became more useful.

When a picture is uncompressed, editing an image is even more comfortable. You may correctly check out the hues and contrasts without the need to worry about overdoing it, apart from applying some other available image management options.

LEARN HOW TO UTILIZE A DEVELOPED MODULE

A “develop” module in Lightroom is still the best one for editing. As you’ll see, this had the main options available in testing with all pictures.

To try this, look first for the module, then, choose an image that you wish to edit.

And from there, you may see preset edits over the right part of the screen, while on the left side there are more thorough editing options that you can try, like the histogram.

MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PRESENCE

Apart from a module, you will have to familiarize yourself by using the “presence.”

You may find this under the “Develop” area and it has a wide display of editing options.

Below are the things you’ll take into consideration:

• Clarity increases the image’s contrast, but this does not affect the white or the black tones. It will only affect gray tones in an image.

• Dehaze – after the clarity, followed by checking the dehaze option. It’s the editing slider that aids outside pictures as it takes out a fog covering up the images.

• Vibrance – you must not forget also the vibrance slider which will affect the intensity and sharpness of the color.

• Saturation – a saturation slider will intense the color of a picture.

EDITING WITH TONE

A tone is an important editing tool that will make a huge difference in image quality.

In photography, it pertains to the lightest range up to a darker range in the image or a “tonal range.”

Here, you’ll deal with white balance, exposure, contrast, and brightness. These are only a few editing tools in Lightroom.

Certainly, when you have your time, you may always use an advanced setup to even mess more with a hue or tonal range of an image.

EXPORT THE IMAGE

Lastly, you have to export an edited picture.

In Lightroom, the process will be a little different, but not a challenging one.

Start by switching the screen to a Library tab. And then, click on every image that is ready to export.

Right after that, select the “File” selection on your Lightroom screen and then click on your “Export” option and the window will pop out with options that will permit you to select where you can export the picture and what kind of file format you need to use.

These are the 5 pro tips you should follow to achieve that professional and captivating look of your real estate images. Hope it helps you in your photo editing work.
