bro i watch your this video 1 year before and today watch this video again i understand many thing that i can't undeerstand at that time thank you bro❤❤
I applaud you on your level of skill in pulling the best out of an HDR edit. However, a lot of time would be saved by simply blending in a flash layer and/or a window pull... especially in situations where there are blinds on the windows that complicates this process even further.
Awesome Video man! But the question is you do this for a set of 25-30 pictures it’s gonna take a whole day of editing, or you have faster methods for batches?
This is right up my alley! HDR presets leave me unsatisfied. Katrin Eismann was my tutor (via her books), so this is content I understand and appreciate!
Man, you lost me when you created a new layer for the ceiling adjustment. It seems like you created a new layer by combining the others. Just can't figure out how you did that.
Thanks Hunter.. loving your HDR videos, been looking to improve my images and cut editing time, these videos have shown some great techniques that I will include in my workflow.
I am a real state photo editor. And m work for planomatic company. Last 5 years.USA basedccompany. Can we work together. Can you give me image for editing.. Prakashgolder2010@gmail.com.
Do you have any advice on a simple window pull for a beginner. I have been trying to get this whole photoshop thing but I just get so confused with the layer process. its been 2 years since I've been trying to figure this out on my won lol. Also I love your video and how you get straight to the point.

I watched the first 4 minutes and followed along, it is super helpful, but unfortunately I lost you at 3:55 :/ what shortcut are you using?? I see a new layer popped up but have no idea where it came from. Any help is appreciated and thanks a lot for the tutorial !! :)
Hi Hunter, great content. Thank you. Question if Anyone else can answer as well. After the window pull portion you move onto the ceiling section which is at 3m.55sec. You click something to put a layer of the image back at the top above the groups. What action was this please
Very knowledgeable in PS and I'm not so you lost me a while back. I mostly use LR and blend my bracketed shots 3 or 4 using LREnfuse. They come out not as good as yours's but the process is fast.

If you took your photos back into photoshop and did the same finishing touches like he did your would look better, and be done fast STILL -- this guy is a complete hack, he doesn't even know how to actually do HDR, he's just guessing.
Every time I do this method, I always seem to get a black dark shadow around the edges of the photo. Almost like a dehazed effect. How can I get rid of this? Aside from that, this method creates a very clean finish! Thanks
You lose me on the window masking. I can select the first window panel with pen tool easily. But when I go to finish a second selection with the pen tool (ctrl+shft+enter), it just selects the entire image. In short, I can't make multiple selections with the pen tool. Any help guys?
3:55 you create "Layer 1". When I create a new layer I don't get the same result. What shortcut or option did you use to create it reflecting your current changes to all 3 layers?
No, don't cut out your windows. What you do, is take a 1/200 shot with flash for your window pull/lights Use Darken mode and your done. Faster and you get clean window pull.
I think you missed the purpose of the video. While I could’ve easily made a video on how to blend ambient and flash in Photoshop, I chose not to for this particular tutorial because not everyone owns a strobe. Whether you’re a novice or have a preference for shooting strictly ambient lighting, having a greater understanding of advanced blending techniques can skyrocket your ability to produce higher quality images. This entire video could’ve been astronomically simpler by using Lightroom’s HDR Merge but for the photographers or editors who are looking to push their editing skills passed an automated HDR solution, This information can be invaluable.
What if the subject is static Army People with zone 7 skin tone , Zone 4 dress, against zone 1and 2 Clouds in sky. Which method for processing such images. This method doest works.
I like some of the mask selection ideas but the whole process for hdr takes too long. I was stuck doing hdr inside the other day after my flash remote died. I can do a flash ambient edit in about 2 minutes. Only ever did hdr outside sometimes.
Nice work but way too long doing a bedroom edit in my opinion. Not your fault, it's just a problem with HDR photography in general. White balance is never the best when shooting indoors with ambient light. I use an ambient shot slightly over-exposed and then blend with flash shots. You can edit a pic with presets in a couple of minutes. Cheers.
Typically I shoot -2, 0, +2 for my brackets with Auto White Balance. If My dark exposure is too bright I'll adjust my shutter speed and pop off another set of brackets. :)
Not directed at Hunter, but wow, over 10 minutes for one image. I know this is probably a client's set, but this has to be the biggest waste of time/loss of money unless you're in magazine/advertising...(which would rely on proper composite flash technique anyway.) Or, you must charge an absolute premium for your photos...
@@papi_roisterous I would assume this really weighs on the price of the listing/property, rate per photo/hr, etc. I doubt this is the kinda love you put in a $100k listing with the expectation of 35-50 final photos.
Exactly. The results are amazing of course! But Real Estate Photography is a game of quickly turning over shoots. I've never met a realtor a day in my life that cared about any of the little things people are saying are wrong with certain photos. Sure if you're editing for a luxury listing/magazine and getting paid $1k for the shoot then maybe its worth it. But for my markets average of around 150-250 a shoot, this isn't profitable.
In my opinion your windows look way to dark and unrealistic. It looks like someone put a poster of a window on the wall. Like sure most customers don't notice these tings but as a photographer I'm always looking at these photos and thinking to my self how can it be darker outside then inside?
This is NOT how you do this. You make DNG files with the bracketed photos... and you do almost all of this in RAW, or better yet Lightroom, -- No professional is wasting time doing it like this; this is 100% foolish

I've watched many videos and this is my favorite by far! Straight to the point, easy to follow and it really helped me get better results! Thank you!
Best technique and the oldest I had learn at school which I have been looking for. All the other automated ones don't work at all. Thank you Hunter.
Are you this detailed on every room image ?? its gonna take way to much time to edit a full house :-)
no kidding plus this is an easy one with nothing to cut out really
Yesssss FINALLY a good real estate editing video. I learned so much in this one yet everything is so simple

agree flash shot and 1/200 flash shot at the windows.
Thank you for this tutorial has taken me to the next level in lightening darkened areas. bless you mal.
please let me help you do it , i can handle 500 images a day

I have seen a lot of youtubers for real estate photography, but damn you are killing it
best fast video ever. perfect dose that you want
I'm a Fan of HDR, but not just a pure HDR shot, get a flash shot at 1/200 second for your window pulls.
Thank you for being so straightforward

Great tutorial mate. What's you average edit time each room?
it took me 5' for each complete picture including replacing the sky through the window
dude. you are brilliant.

@@optipwr40omg thank you!! I was losing my mind trying to figure out how he got that new layer
Same😂😂😂
Hi Hunter, great content. Thank you. Question if Anyone else can answer as well.
After the window pull portion you move onto the ceiling section which is at 3m.55sec.
You click something to put a layer of the image back at the top above the groups. What action was this please
I believe he made a layer mask but he was going so fast I could hardly keep up.
here were some things you didn't explain when you did them. how did you get the layer for the ceiling?
Fantastic video! Are the shots JPG or RAW?
can you tell me instagram
you can see by the .CR2 extension at the end of the layers that those are RAW files :)
what did he exatly did on 3:56 to create a new layer and where did the image came from? lol

When you created layer 1 right before you fixed the ceiling what did you do?
for real, same question. It ruins the rest f the tutorial because I can't follow past that point.
same here, i'd like to know

how do you get all this in lightroom... I dont see any of these options
where do you get that layer 1 from??
did u figure this out?? i need the answer :(

On a Windows PC, press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E. On a Mac, press Shift+Command+Option+E.
FYI, shortcut for group layers is ctrl+G

Using Nathan cool's 50/50 preset and flambient?
do you use photomatix pro
I just cannot seem to understand how to even get the crisp bracketed shots.
Invest in premium glass. Sturdy tripod, especially on carpet doesn't hurt.
Nice job but for some reason the technique never works well for me. I get lots of reflections on timber floors etc and I need a flash layer.
do you use AWB when you shoot these?
Which softwer do you use sir ?
Lightroom and Photoshop
hey hunter how long is your editing process per job once you get into a flow?
About an hour for flash/ambient blending. HDR is a whole other story
Thank you for the great tutorial. I've got a question. What's bracketing settings do you shoot and what exposure compensation do you set? Thank you
Typically I shoot -2, 0, +2 for my brackets with Auto White Balance. If My dark exposure is too bright I'll adjust my shutter speed and pop off another set of brackets. :)

Good technique, but not efficient. If you need to edit hundreds of photos every day, it would unrealistic and not profitable.
BTW, for a realistic photographer, edit hundreds of photos is a normal day.
