What The PROS Do in EVERY Architecture Photo - Retouching Techniques

I'll share some of my techniques and thoughts behind professional architecture retouching and editing in Photoshop. This is a vital step in making sure your imagery is of the highest quality possible. To ignore it is to continue churning out average images into a sea of mediocrity. But Real Estate photographers beware - you must represent the property with honesty.

I mention the Lumenzia panel which is a cornerstone in my editing workflow. You can check it out here https://bit.ly/3dpGeub. It has many uses for editing and has a raft of features to help improve our architecture editing. My main use for it is with exposure blending but here I use it just to precisely lift the shadows from the tree and also show up any dust spots in the image. If you do decide to get it for exposure blending I'd recommend picking it up as a bundle along with Greg's excellent course https://bit.ly/3dpGeub

Beyond this editing step, we want to add polish to our photos. I do this as a batch automation either through ColorEfex Pro (https://bit.ly/nik-collection-dxo) or https://bit.ly/Luminar-NEO. Both options work very well, but to run it in an automated way you need to "clean" your photos first as shown in this editing tutorial.
