 HDR vs Flambient Editing: What is the Difference?

When it comes to real estate photography, editing is really important because it can make a difference in how a property looks online. There are two editing techniques that people use: HDR editing and flambient editing. Both of these techniques can improve the quality of an image. They work in different ways.

What is HDR Editing?

HDR editing, or High Dynamic Range editing, is a way of combining pictures of the same thing to create one final picture that looks balanced.

How it Works:

• You take one picture that's a little too dark which helps with the bright parts

• You take one picture that is normally exposed

• You take one picture that's a little too bright which helps with the dark parts

• Then you put these pictures together to create one picture that looks good.

Benefits of HDR Editing:

1. The lighting in the picture looks more balanced
2.  You can see details in the dark and bright areas
3.  It does not take long to edit the picture
4. It is great for taking pictures of the outside and inside of properties

Limitations:

If you do much HDR editing the picture can look a little fake. It can also create halos. Contrast look unnatural

What is Flambient Editing?

Flambient editing is a way of combining flash and natural light to edit a picture. It is an advanced way of editing and can make a picture look very natural and high-end.

How it Works:

You take one picture with a flash, which helps capture the details of the inside of a property.
You take one picture with light which helps capture the mood of the property. Then you put these two pictures together by hand to make it look

Benefits of Flambient Editing:

• The picture looks very natural and real

•  The walls look clean and white. The colours are accurate

•  The picture looks high quality

•  It is best for luxury real estate properties

 Limitations:

It takes time to edit the picture. You need to have some skill and be able to put the pictures together by hand. It can be more expensive to edit the picture
