Real Estate Photography - Blending Flash and Ambient Images in Photoshop

in , , ,

Are you looking to take better real estate photos?  Good real estate photos are essential when trying to sell a home.  In this video, I’ll show you a technique I’ve been using to blend a Flash image with an Ambient image in Photoshop to create a great looking final image.  

Its no secret that almost all home buyers begin their search online.  If images of a home are not appealing to the buyers, they quickly move on to the next home.  However, with good real estate photography, there is a better chance that a potential buyer will look at the home online and move to the next step in the process - actually reaching out to a Realtor to see the home.  

For this technique, you will need a well exposed image of the room or space using only ambient light.  You will then take the same image using the flash, on camera or off camera, to expose the room.  These two images will then be brought into Photoshop and blended together to create an evenly exposed image that will only require a few minor tweaks to reach the final image.  

Of course there is no ‘right way’ to do real estate photography, this is just what has been working for me and I’ve had good results.

How to SWAP heads in PHOTOSHOP

in , , ,

Sometimes not everyone is looking when you take a group photo.  In this video, I’ll show you how easy it is to swap heads on people in a group photo using Adobe Photoshop.  When you are photographing the group, make sure you take several images of the group so that you can capture each person looking at the camera in at least one photo.  

Next you will bring all of the photos into Photoshop and use layer masks to replace the heads, face, or entire people in your image.  This is an easy way to make sure that everyone is looking at the camera in your group photos.

Enlarging an Image to Print as a Poster

in ,

Over the last few months, I’ve had many people reaching out to me asking for help enlarging their images.  I thought it might be helpful to create another video to show how I enlarged this particular image.  Keep in mind that every image is different so this technique may not work for your image.  

In this case I received a Photoshop PDF file that had all of the original layers in it.  This made the process of enlarging it much easier.  Since I had a smart object, I was able to scale the image and not loose quality from the original.  After scaling the image to the size I needed, I exported it as a JPG.  The JPG file was used for the print.  

If you have any questions about enlarging your images, please leave a comment below.

How To Enlarge a Low Resolution Image for Print, Another Way!

in , ,

Has there ever been a time when you had a low resolution image you want to print?  Maybe it is a screenshot of something or an image where the quality just wasn't there?  In this tutorial I'll show you one way you can modify an image and enlarge it to be printed as an 8x12.  It only takes a few minutes and a couple of steps.

Video Summary

This particular image was at a resolution of 72 ppi and approximately 5.5" x  8.3".  The goal was to modify this image so it could be printed as an 8x10.   When preparing images for print, it’s important to keep in mind that your file resolution should be a minimum of 240 ppi to get a high quality print.  In this case I wanted to use 300 ppi.  I’ll show you how you can easily upscale an image using Photoshop. 

Step 1

Open your image, then go to the ‘Image’ menu and select Image Size.

Step 2

In the ‘Width’ and ‘Height’ boxes, input the size you would like your image to be.  In this case, I used 8” x 12”. 

Step 3

Look at the resolution box next.  It’s likely you will see something around 72 Pixels/Inch.  Change that to be 300 Pixels/Inch.

Step 4

Next, make sure the box next to ‘Resample’ is checked.  Select ‘Preserve Details (enlargement)’ from the pull down menu.

Step 5

Use the ‘Reduce Noise’ slider if you feel your image needs noise reduction.

Step 6

Click ‘OK’.

Your Finished!  Print it out and see how it looks!

How to Prepare a Scanned Image for Print

in , ,

Have you ever scanned in an image you wanted to reproduce only to find that the scan does not look as good as you had hoped?  In this tutorial I’ll show you the process I used to scan in an image that was in an old calendar, then retouch and repair the image before sending it off to be printed.  One of the challenges with this image in particular was that after I scanned it in and brought it into Adobe Photoshop, I was able to see the small colored dots of ink that were used to print the image.  I’ll show you how I was able to remove the ink dots using smart filters in Photoshop 2014.  After adjusting the image in Photoshop, I will show you the final printed result.

Photoshop: How to Clean Up Selections

in , ,

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to remove the white, black, or colored edge that may appear around elements that you extract from images.  In this case, I’m using an ornamental grass that was extracted from an image.  The grass has a dark edge around the cutout of the grass.  Using this quick tip, it is easy to remove the dark edge.  By removing the dark edge, the image of this grass will blend into your composite image much better.

How To Create Object Shadows in Photoshop

in ,

Creating shadows for objects in Adobe Photoshop is an easy technique that helps elements of a composite look more realistic and blend into your scene.  In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a shadow for a tree, but you can use this technique for any object.  The shadow will mimic the exact shape of the original object.  Below is a text description of each step.  Lets get started!

Step 1

Open the image you want to create a shadow for.

Step 2

Duplicate layer using the shortcut CMD + J

Step 3

Envoke the Transform tool using CMD +T

Step 4

Bend the object to the correct orientation for the shadow.  Try to match the shadow direction of other elements in your composite.  Use CMD + Click  to select just one of the Transform handles to ‘bend’ the shadow around.

Step 5

Once the shadow is going the direction you want, press enter to accept the transformation.  Next, select the layer by holding CMD while selecting the Layer Preview in the Layer stack.  This will select all of the contents on that layer. 

Step 6

Once the layer is selected, fill it with black using Shift + Delete.  Then Deselect the layer using CMD + D.

Step 7

Make sure the shadow layer is behind the object layer.  Change the layer blend mode to Multiply.  Adjust opacity so it matches other shadows in your image.  Rarely will shadows ever be 100% opacity. 

Your shadow is now complete!
