WOWOWOW! SO GOOOD! THX

An excellent video with some useful tips in it thanks!

Thank you so much. Great educational content. Bless you ❤

You did not disappoint!!! If this preset gets me close to the quality required for general real estate listing photos, you just saved me hours and helped me up my game!! Thank you!!! I opened up the editing video at the end of this one to see how much of those ideas I can quickly use to get a better result without spending hours.

Amazing video!!!

Thank you so much , that helps alot starting my next jobs :D i lost so much time in the first 3 jobs i cant believe how long it takes :D Big thank you

This is very good! Been doing real estate for a few years. Just did a job for a architect and I’m really wanting to do the best job I can. Needless to say I’m wearing it heavy! 😅

This is the thing with most photography. Getting the best results in the shortest possible time.

Awesome Brother!

Great job with the videos and techniques displayed has me rethinking a lot of what we do. Thank you.

The lasso tool with alot of feathering of the selection is also a very indispensable tool when using lumenzia.

You're welcome.

Almost all of my business is run-of-the-mill Real Estate photos. I have a similar preset I use but as always you opened my eyes to take a second look at my preset and tweek it to make it better! My workflow is ultra fast, and while the final product is not at the level of your architectural shoots, it comes close and at my price point it is more than adequate for Real Estate. Everything I do is in a batch to streamline my photo processing. First I batch process my RAW images, using a preset similar to yours and export as JPEG's. From there I batch process the JPEGS in Aurora and export as TIFFs. From there I import the TIFFs back into Lightroom where I have other presets to "fine tune" the images. Like you, I take care of the geometry on a photo-by-photo basis. I used to use the vertical correction in my preset, but found that is better to correct each photos geometry as I go. Most times clicking "Verticle" gets me where I want to be, and if that does not work I drop back and use "Guided". Using this method I can normally process a job (35-40 images) in about 15-20 minutes (plus a few minutes to photoshop tripods out of mirrors, outline the property on drone shots, etc). If the property has decent lighting, I get very good results. If the lighting is challenging, I still get very good results, but I am always striving to get the tough ones to come out to as close as I can to optimal and your tips have helped alot towards that goal!

So I’ve purchased Lumenzia and am learning how to use it and applying your concepts to my work .. do you ever shoot a property with windows that have many panes of glass? I’m trying to figure out how to tweak the luminosity masks so that the window panes do not get muddied up as you like to say 😎 .. and advise on how to mask windows with many panes of glass?

Thank you for the video. I get frustrated watching LR and Photoshop videos I learn a lot. At the same time I get frustrated when you show something and it different from my LR. EX: Profile Yours show Adobe Color, mine show color. You right click on color I and get color, monochrome, vintage with examples as Artistic, Modern, Vintage. LR is up to date.

You may not have a profile titled "flat" provided to Adobe by your camera manufacturer. If not just find the camera matching profile that gives the lowest contrast as your starting point.

Anthony .. I’m moving into interior design photography and hopefully architectural .. I’m trying to decide which is a better choice .. luminar neo or Nik collection?

Hi Anthony, I have purchased the app but still don’t know how to highlight photos. Is there any video where I can learn more about highlights?

Really learning to much from your videos Anthony .. thank you! I've just purchased and installed Lumenzia plugin and am working to go through this tutorial step by step and I'm stuck already on Camera Flat profile! LOL! Did you create that or get it from Nikon?

Hi Lisa, it's a nikon profile but it self populates as long as you have LR and Adobe camera raw installed. If you don't have access to this exact one or your manufacturer's equivalent, just use the flattest profile there.

Have you done any tone mapping for interior rendering? I am an 3d artist in every cases making a realistic rendering we need to work with post processing? Can you make any video of it?

@@archiphoto Thank you!! Appreciate the response.

Pretty new to this, I appreciate your videos (subbed!) Question...if you take 3 AEB (or 5/7) - are you selecting the best exposed one, then applying this preset? If anything else, it won't work - for the over or under exposed ones I mean. I might be missing the point of this, and it's just a video to show how to make a preset? But if you have 3 AEB and the preset works on only one, why take 3? 5 or 7? and how does this help workflow if you dispose of the other 2, 4 or 6 images?

@AnthonyTurnham

8 ай бұрын

Yeah good question! So absolutely take the 3 / 5/ 7 bracketed shots. These will serve as your foundations for the finished image the client gets IF you're sending through high quality retouched files at the end. This preset is to be applied to the best universal exposure (often 0ev or +1 ev) this gets you a quick result to send though for your client to proof. IE they approve or decline the shot before you spend too much time on your finished fully finished version. Hope that helps :)

@archiphoto

3 ай бұрын

If it's just for the initial proofing (which is primarily the purpose of this quick preset) then I don't trouble myself with merging the brackets at this point as it's only certain photos the client will be getting as the end product. I'll often use a base exposure with a shadows and a highlight version combined in Photoshop with Lumenzia (bit.ly/3dpGeub) to create a more refined finished shot. So in this workflow, it's not necessary to merge to HDR in LR.

@Upstatefoto

@@archiphoto I'd also be interested in how this preset would work with HDR to produce a finished (almost) product. Would one of these two methods work: 1. add the preset when importing all sets into lightroom and then stak/merge, or 2) Bring them into LR without the preset, then stack/merge and apply the preset to the finished merged photo.

I'm back with a question about workflow. I am inquiring as a real estate photographer with an interest in improving my photo quality up from Aurora HDR and global slider adjustments. In the past 24 hours I have watched several of your Lightroom editing tutorials. In a couple videos you demoed Lightroom Merge to HDR and commented on your preference for using Aurora HDR instead (although what you were working with in the Lightroom-merged pics looked pretty good!). I am thinking the next step up in quality for me would be using local masking to improve the overall dynamic range on an HDR image. But, how to get there from the RAW brackets?... Since I have Aurora HDR, would you recommend running the RAW brackets through Aurora to generate 16-bit TIFF files, them import into Lightroom and apply the preset you are sharing in this video? Would you suggest adding any refinements in the Aurora process, like adding the "Architecture > Realistic Interiors", Sharpen, Auto Alignment - or make those adjustments in Lightroom? Can you compare using Aurora to Lightroom's Merge to HDR? Is there more data in the photo to work with in either process? Which app would contribute to a better workflow? You made some amazing edits in a couple of the videos with Smart Objects in Photoshop and using the Lumenzia luminosity panel. That process looks enticing for window pulls but it looks like a couple steps further down the learning path for me, something to work through step-by-step in a bit. At this point, I think I can make some major improvement with your preset here and some local masking adjustments. Thank you for your continued contribution to all the photographers who, like me, are seeking to improve the quality of our product with an efficient process!

I did some of my own testing on this comparison. I put three sets of 3-shot brackets through both Lightroom and Aurora HDR with no import settings in either app. The result in Aurora looked more saturated and darker. The Lightroom version of the merged photos looked better in terms of contrast. I just did a property shoot yesterday and used the Lightroom Merge to HDR, then applied my "Anthony T Preset". Pics looked good! A little bit of radial masking to brighten the shadows and we are miles ahead of starting from scratch on each photo. Thank you again for sharing the preset!

TBH there's no real hard and fast rule for that. But earlier is better from a "safety" point of view. If your catalogue corrupts any changes you've made to a dng will still be with the file, not so with a native raw format, unless of course you're remembering to create an xmp sidecar, but if you're going to the effort of that then you may as well just convert to dng.

Hi! Thanks for the message. I've just been watching Canada's women's football team in the World Cup :) I took a look at the group and the photos. Yes, there's some nice work for real estate shots. At a glance a lot of the "look" comes down to keeping the interior whites pure, bright, and devoid of colour cast (this can be achieved with flash or done in post - both methods can be successful when done right) and also dropping the exposure of the exterior, almost to the point that the inside looks brighter than what's outside. While this gives a nice view of what's outside personally I'm not a fan of that. Unless it's evening / night the exterior is brighter and so it looks too artificial when a photo portrays it the other way around. If I get a chance I'll make a video. I'm just swamped with other work commitments right now.

Why not merge the separate HDR images after importing? Isn't that the point of HDR?

@archiphoto

10 ай бұрын

For my initial proofing process for the client speed is key. Merging all grouped brackets at the start of the process does two things that I don't want. 1) Takes processing time 2) creates an additional file that I may not ultimately need if the client doesn't want to license that image. By reserving the final full tonal range file for the final delivery it also adds perceived value to the finished shot and helps to justify a per image fee in the client's mind.
