Although I agree hand blending does give you more control and an image with more depth but for most Real Estate Photographers worldwide they are doing smaller listings where the images are uploaded to a website with poor resolution so it just makes sense to do the HDR edit and spend some time editing that. I don't think I have come across an agent or customer in the UK that could tell the difference if I showed them the identical images edited differently. Thanks for the information some tips in here I will use for my personal work and keep up the content

Matt Osborn thanks! definitely true

Providing the knowledge to allow people to pursue their own businesses and dreams!

You can add some more dehaze to the hdr merge image and it will look like the hand blended image

merged looks so much nicer and can have an easy edit as well and thrown into photoshop to enhance areas.

Good video. I think i will stick to lr hdr merge. I feel like it's fastest and you can still use masking and darken the sky a little extra with masks etc.

Your videos are great. With so much to learn about the industry, I have my hand-blending done over sees for .75 to 1.00 per shot. I would love to be able some day to be able to at least get myself out of a bind by having these skills. I'm close, I have been doing 5 brackets and 1-2 flash changing flash power on the AD200. Keep the vids coming sir.

awesome stuff man

Thank you!

Hey! great video, definitely I will try manual blending more often. But, one question, don't you think you abandoned the LR HDR editing a little early and you could have done a little bit more editing to get closer results to the manual blended version? Could you have gotten those contrast and saturations using local adjustments the same way you masked some parts on the PS blended one? Thanks! great channel, I'm watching a lot of videos.

Thanks! Yeah sure, there’s almost always more than one way to achieve a similar result. It’s just a matter of choosing a workflow that you like best.

Great video. Have you mixed lightroom blend with one or 2 hdr blends back in PS? Like a hybrid of this method? Would that speed things up a bit?

Hey Mike, great video. Have learned a lot from what you are offering. Since you are doing such an awesome job with sharing these edits, how about a video where you are using Darken mode in photoshop to pull a window. Going to start practicing using an ambient shot, flash shot, and over exposed window shot to pull the window. I have not tried it yet. Would like to see you walk us through that. Thanks, keep up the good videos.

So until I can confidently pull windows and some current unemployment hurdles it's all about practice right now. Thanks, looking forward to seeing what you can show us.

Great video! I'm going to have to practice the hand blending as there is a noticeable difference between the two! How much does pricing differ if you dont' mind me asking between the two type of edits?

Jonathan Lopez thanks! I typically do this type of editing when I’m doing ambient/flash blending by hand of the interior photos so it’s a different type of shoot altogether than a HDR shoot. Pricing varies between the two different types of shoots based on a number of factors like size of home etc

I prefer the merged..

Excellent illustration of how to get a more natural looking image. Much richer look. Looking at your HDR, I'm thinking that maybe we should avoid lightening up the shadows too much, so as to avoid the "HDR Look".

How did you select and change the luminance on the sky?

You click on the little luminance slider icon and then go to the sky portion of the image and click and drag up or down to change the luminance value.

Hi i have started to learn real estate photography and have followed your videos step by step with the exposure bracketing however every time I go into Lightroom and try and blend the photos together it just keeps coming up with the message "unable to merge the selected photos" is there something I'm doing wrong :(

Thank you. It's not letting me open layers in photoshop. Customer service said it was because you can't open as layers if the pics are JPEG? Totally confused. Might need your coaching/consulting someday.
