Nathan is a true pro, always feels like such a masterclass to get a little leture from you! It is so great to hear the WHY of all your suggestions. And examples! My guy. Thank you!
Thank you Zach!
Really interesting information about what the Saturation, Vibrance and Dehaze tools are doing to colors. Definitely going to have to add the Color book to my library of your books.
Great tips! One thing that seems to be trending that really bugs me is desaturating the ceilings to the point that they look cartoonish and very unrealistic. Natural shadows are gone, all color is gone, hardware around lights and fans is all turned gray. I love a bright, white ceiling, but please- don't make it look fake!
Thanks! And I hear ya :)
Great tutorial for a novice like me. I've learnt a lot from here. Thanks Nathan for sharing these lovely and valuable tips.
Thanks for the tutorial, Nathan. They're always helpful.
My pleasure!
These are all great tips. I have done all of the wrong things when I started. I now use the high pass filter to sharpen and I find it helps me keep things under control better. I also find I need to slightly desaturate some wooden floors.
Thanks! LR sharpening is faster and more selective (as I show with the masking slider). If you find you need to desaturate floors, then similar to what I mentioned in this video, something is wrong: either the WB/tint is off; you might be adding too much contrast; you might be pushing other adjustments too far; etc. It might be worthwhile to have me review your work with a private Zoom session if none of those seem to work; you can email me for more info on that if you get to that point.
Monday musings / moments /memos!
I really liked these tips!!!!!!! Thanks!
Hello Nathan,
those are exactly the three points I always get wrong!
I'm actually an HDR junkie and love the power of HDR images. But I sometimes overdo it when shooting indoors and it was good to be brought back down to earth.
So in the future, less color, less shadow brightening and less post sharpening. Thank you very much!

You're very welcome!
If by lifting, or minimizing shadow intensity, I do it only a little, to reveal textures, but not minimize contrast. This is such an important tutorial.
Thank you!
Great advice as per usual. Thanks Nathan
Thanks! And you're very welcome.
Excellent tips. I've got some correcting to do!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Nathan.....
Thanks for reminding me of some great basics of home sales to remind my customers about.
Just as it’s best to have neutral color in the rooms, the same thing applies to photos.
Glad I could help!
Which camera profile should ı use for sony nathan ? Thank you you always making better us
Nice work Nathan!
Thank you!
Great advice Nathan!
Thank you!
I'm totally agree with your suggestions, I see lot of mistakes en unreal photo's. My goal is, wysiwyg. What you see is wat you get-feeling. Thanks for your all video's.
Thanks! And you're very welcome.
Thank you sir
As always Nathan, great video!! I’m curious if you make white/black or highlights/shadows adjustments to your exposures before taking to Lightroom?
Thanks! I use the same workflow I outline in my REP series, in this case the interiors book, here's a link to that if you want to check that out: amzn.to/3sGMful
Thanks once again Nathan on some very useful tips. Just on the sharpening point. After using my camera linear profile in Lightroom which flattens image and then following your flambient technique and merging layers, I do a Topaz denoise or sharpen from Photoshop. What is your opinion if you have any experience or thoughts on Topaz denoise or sharpen or at what stage to use it.
You're welcome! I don't recommend Topaz AI for REP, something I talk about in "Mastering Color". If you need to sharpen RE images using AI then something is wrong. Topaz is useful for wildlife and action, but when using a tripod there's no need.
Nice
The over-lifted shadows effect is so prevalent in my area. Makes me think agents prefer it. I hate it, makes the images look white-washed. Agents may think this is how it is supposed to be done here. I might show a selected few agents both versions, just to get their reactions.
Great idea!
😍😍
Would you sharpen in Ps with ctrl j + desaturate + high pass + overlay for interior shots?
No, that's way too complicated, not accurate, and not needed. I'd suggest taking a look at amzn.to/3LDSIk0 which will help you understand the workflow that fits best for real estate interiors.
Hi Nathan! I did a photoshoot yesterday and the house had a lot of ceiling fans. When taking the flash shot I got a lot of shadows from the fans and I wasn't very happy with the end result when trying to remove the shadows with the ambient shot. What is the best approach on this type of situations?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like you might have flashed incorrectly. I talk more about that in the interiors book, and ways to fix it in post in my advanced editing book. Here's a link to my REP series if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/39LrfvF
Do you have any videos on composition? Sometimes I have a hard time with getting the right angles for rooms, kitchens islands, and furniture...?
I have more than 200 examples in my ebook "Shot Lists for Real Estate Photography", here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/3wlemRZ
@@NathanCoolPhoto I have one of your books and it was extremely helpful! I'm thinking about your whole collection!!! Thank you for helping all of us! You are great!
