I’ve been using infuse for years. It’s the best product out there for real estate. No doubt.

[@inumirza9958]

I just bought it, it is by far the best plugin to give me the most natural blended exposures. still need some tweaks to my taste but definitely save me great chunk of time. It is worth the money.

[@WillGayPhoto]

For sure. I think thats probably the best part of this plugin, it really can be used in so many ways and custom tailored to suit your style and taste. For me this is just what gives me a canvas or base image I can work with easily for my style!

[@mikestewart4733]

Very helpful! Would love to see the next steps where you take the Enfused image and add the flash images and final corrections.

[@WillGayPhoto]

Absolutely. Plan going forward is to have a recurring series where I do HDR and flambient edits on a set of photos. That way I can get the actions setup as well and just keep giving real world examples to show different situations because every home is so different. Thank you!👍✌️

Great video and information. I just bought mine and paid 3.5 pounds or euros, but I believe it is well worth more. Maybe I can donate once I make my business profitable :)

[@WillGayPhoto]

Thats awesome! I hope that more people donate and the developer brings some updates or additions to it. Its a really great tool!

[@jahivan]

thanks for the video, very informative. m1 pro user here, took me around 15-20 minutes to enfuse 31 stacks between 3 and 5 images each stack, 55 Megapixels raw photos. btw just a tip, you may want to change your computer resolution to 1080p when recording the videos, the images/text are too small for reading on a small screen, or you can also set ms windows to increase the font size.

[@WillGayPhoto]

Thank you! Good to get some stats from the Mac side. Yeah this ultra wide has been great for productivity but less so for recording. I'm going to play around with.some different resolutions and get a better setup. I've been looking back at it with the user experience in mind and you're right it's just a little too small. 👍

[@dataventurer9998]

@@WillGayPhoto Yeah, ditto on changing your monitor resolution. I was trying to catch some of your settings (when you were using the Tone Curve) and had a hard time. You have a lot of unused real estate on the screen. It wouldn't hurt to go to a lower resolution. I just installed Enfuse and will run some comparative tests using your Enfuse preset to see how things compare.

Great video! Helped a ton. I was using a vietnamese company for photo editing before but I didn't like how clinicly they edited the photos. Mostly it looked very fake and unnatural... Hence why I'm leaning more towards editing them myself. Now that I discovered Enfuse it'll be much better in terms of quality/feel. But yea I probably lose 30 minutes extra per house edit. I think it's worth it. :) Where could I find good editors you reckon (not fiverr)? Maybe upwork? Thanks!

[@WillGayPhoto]

I feel you on the editors. They can be all over the place. I use Fotober for all my real estate work. I find them to have really great quality and outside of an occasional error thay are fantastic. I work with one specifically, they found me on Instagram and offered a free edit and I was really happy with it. If you go on instagram and search accounts for Tammy_at_Fotober or gracie.editor they are both really good editiors and can connect you with someone from the team to help you out. Another good option is Pixlmob. They are a marketplace for real estate editors specifically and you can sort them by price, style, rating etc. I have had good results there but also some bad ones.

Sometimes I run into an error with enfuse saying: "No Stacks containing selected photos were found. Note that the stacks must be in folders; stacks in collections are not supported at this time since plugins can't currently access this information. If you are trying to blend the selected images then please turn off the batch mode option." This happens when I stack the photos that I took on timing and then try to batch enfuse them. Anyone knows the answer to this? Thanks! Greatly appreciated.

[@WillGayPhoto]

What it sounds like i shappening is that you are working from a collection of photos, not a specific folder of them. So there are stacks of images across multiple folders. LR does not allow plugins to work across multiple folders (LR and adobe issue). You will need to work out of the folder that images are in. So for me I organize everything into a folder with the property address and then import to LR. I then work out of that folder in LR as opposed to making a collection for those. You can blend the stacks individually if you turn batch mode off but you will need to work out of 1 folder of images. I hope that makes sense.

[@horsedesigns]

Downloaded and unzipped and it did not create a folder but rather just put the plugin on my desktop. Lightroom refuses to see or recognize it and will not upload it. Any idea what I can do?

[@WillGayPhoto]

I am not sure. If you are on windows make sure you aren't using a 3rd party app to extract the zip file. Winrar and others like it tend to cause issues. Z-zip is a good alternative if you must one. If you are on Apple OS I cannot help. I don't like or use mac OS any more. It should create a folder and then you point Lightroom to that folder to install it. The folder should be called "LREnfuse.lrplugin" if for some reason the unzipped folder is not called that, Lightroom will not recognize it. What you can do is either create a folder and name it that, then copy everything into that directory or rename that current folder to that name.

Time: 14:30 It does not reimports it for me, just dissapears. Please help

[@WillGayPhoto]

Make sure you are working out of the folder or library. Not previous imports or a collection. When it reimports it wont show up if you are not in the folder your images are in, or you are in a collection like "previous import" or the like.
