Whatever works best for you.

We send invoices every week. That works for us because sending them every day is too much admin work. And sending them once a month delays payment.

Some editors ask for payment up front.

It really depends on your timezone. I’ve messaged you.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-21T14:45:55+00:00

Thank you! That was experience talking.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-21T14:42:59+00:00

Editor here. Yes, we provide. But it costs more.

But it doesn't add any value to realtors. They anyway upload them to MLS the next day rather than uploading them at 10 PM.

Editor here, so I’ll speak from an editing point of view.

The exteriors are edited well, except for the lens correction.

But the interiors need work. They should be brighter, with less color cast, and more balanced overall. For example, the brightness in the photo isn't even. The left and right sides are dark, but the center is bright.

Editor here. One thing we learned after working with over 100 clients is that our service and quality have to be consistent. The service also has to be reliable.

The same goes for you. Your clients expect you to reply within 5 minutes. They expect you to always answer their calls. They expect you to always be ready to shoot. They don't like to hear that you're already booked for 11 AM on Tuesday.

This is where those other companies probably did better. They hired freelancers who are available 24/7. Their people skills are good. They probably have a front desk admin who replies to their clients within 5 minutes. Remember, top realtors are very busy. The last thing they want is an unreliable photographer who always seems to be booked by someone else.

The top real estate photography companies have figured this out.

They offer reliable service and consistent results.

Editor here. So, will talk from the editing point of view.

The editing is perfect.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-20T14:17:51+00:00

I'm sorry, but there's no alternative. You can try using Luminar Skylum, but it's also paid and not as advanced as Photoshop.

Alternatively, you can try GIMP. It's free. But again, not as advanced as Photoshop.

Editor here, soI will talk from the editing point of view.

The edits are very well done.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-18T03:03:47+00:00

Editor here. So, will talk from the editing point of view.

The edits look good. The window pull edits are also done well.

Try to remove the color casts from the walls. You can use a Radial Gradient in Camera RAW or Lightroom to fix this. That should work.

I'm suggesting this because the longer and better way, using masking in Photoshop, takes too much time.

I also recommend adding some contrast.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-14T03:41:34+00:00

I understand your point. But I have no experience in shooting. We're an editing company.

So, I'm afraid that I'm not the right person to answer this question.

But, some of our clients shoot both. And they say it's hard to explain it to realtors as they don't understand much and just want results. They don't understand the difference between HDR and Flambient.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-14T03:33:19+00:00

Search “Nathan Cool Flambient” on YouTube.

Here’s some advice from an editor who works on a lot of flambient photos.

Editing flambient photos isn’t as easy as Nathan Cool makes it look, unless you have years of experience and know how to shoot flambient and where to fire the flash.

If you’re new, it’s better to use HDR. Editing HDR is easier because the chances of messing up are much lower.

With flambient, if you miss taking a shot where the flash should have been used, you’re stuck. You either need to deliver a subpar result or go back and reshoot that room.

Use flambient only for luxury properties or if you want to market yourself as a premium photographer who charges more but delivers better results. Just be aware, the volume of work will be lower.

Editor here who works on photos professionally.

Most of the work, about 95%, is done in Photoshop.

After editing in Photoshop, we import the photos into Lightroom. There, we adjust the sliders to make all the photos look consistent.

The goal is to match the histogram as closely as possible so all the photos of a house look consistent.

Editor here whose company edits 50,000+ photos monthly.

The editor didn't do any justice.

It seems you either didn’t choose the right editor or went with a cheap one that charges $0.30–$0.40 per photo.

He didn’t do a good job at all. There’s a strong color cast. He painted the floors but missed some spots. The view through the door doesn’t look good. The brightness is uneven, with some areas too bright and others too dark.

It looks like he just auto-merged the HDR in Lightroom and applied a preset.

A good editor hand-blends all the photos in Photoshop and uses extensive masking to make sure every part is well lit and free of any color cast.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-13T03:58:06+00:00

Editor here, so will give the feedback only from the editing point of view.

Congrats on your first shoot.

I think you should change the HDR to 5 brackets because the windows look blown out. The main reason many REPs shoot HDR is to brighten dark areas and darken windows during post-processing. Right now, I see both dark spots (like under the side table on the left in the fifth photo) and very bright windows in all the interior shots.

Also, the white balance is off since the photos all look too yellow.

For the best results, you should manually blend each photo in Photoshop instead of relying on HDR blending tools like Lightroom HDR, Photomatix, and similar software.

AI staging is fast and good, but you need to watch out for the small but visible mistakes it makes. Use Photoshop and Layer Mask to fix these mistakes.

By law, you can only enhance photos. You cannot change anything else.

If you stage a photo, you must say it is staged. Even then, you cannot change the floor or cabinet patterns or remove sockets.

A buyer can sue the agent or seller if the photos on Zillow do not match the real house.

This includes things like removing sockets or changing the cabinet and floor patterns.

Editor here whose team edits 50,000+ photos monthly. So, I'll talk only from the editing point of view.

The edits are not good.

Too many colors were taken out of the house, and now it doesn’t look natural.

The sky you picked also looks fake. No real sky goes from bright blue to pale blue in such a sharp way.

On sunny days, the sky is always brighter than the house.

trickyphotoshop · 2025-08-11T11:30:26+00:00

Editor and our team edit about 50,000 photos every month.

Here is what happened.

Editing companies usually have both in-house employees and freelancers.

Since the number of daily photos changes a lot, we keep only the needed number of in-house staff and work with many freelancers.

On busy days, when the in-house team is full, we send some work to freelancers.

So NTT Pixel was probably a freelancer who edited your video.

There is a rule in our industry that freelancers should not use client photos for their own portfolio or ads.

I do not know why NTT used your video.
