Window Pulls without a Flash - Edit like an overseas editor! Photoshop

[@pawel-951]

Well, it works, because you have an unobstructed view at the window. Try the same technique with the plant covering half of the window..

[@photos-fera7392]

The ugliest tend out there. Window pulls that look ridiculous…Hate this look. Prefer more subtle architectural windows like I give in my real estate photos. This trend needs to die soon… Nice tutorial anyway.

[@criticaltinker]

the moment you pick the pen tool, i left this message and skip your video. on your example it's easy because there's no blinds or stuff like plants or flowers around the window.

[@real-estate-photography]

Fair enough. I guess I could have used a selection method like color range which would have been useful in those situations. I’ll see if I can find some raws for images like that and do a video doing that. Thanks for the idea.

[@asmashingwayita9200]

What tool would you use for the task?

[@ottersphotography304]

Just shooting a window pull with flash and then darken mode in post and you would be done in about 1/10th the time it took to do this. Time being money for a photographer/editor this seems to be doing things the extremely long way around. It is a different technique to add to your toolbox but one you would never use.

[@real-estate-photography]

Always good to know how even if you don't use it every day. Like knowing how to change a tire. Comes in handy when you need it.

[@zachbrown9358]

Definitely my go to technique too. Way easier and great results. This video seemed like a ton of extra work.

[@notanothershrubbery]

@@zachbrown9358 And occasionally you forget to get the window pull shot. My older brain does that occasionally.

[@diego_villena]

Do you have a good tutorial on how to do that?

[@alanabley1807]

Thanks, very interesting but why bother? Just shoot a window pull.

[@real-estate-photography]

Yep I agree - but always good to know a different method incase your flash fails or forgot to take a flash shot.

[@GdUpPhoto]

Awesome tutorial. I don't do flash pulls so this is great!

[@ErloBrown1]

I stopped watching at "just going to outline the windows here"

[@davidfish3897]

You are a genius

[@holly4221]

Great tool to know how to do windows if you can’t take a flash. Thank you!

[@rocket9580]

for a dollar a pic..i'll be sending overseas...lol

[@wtfkurtis]

You know, having a higher contrast outside the windows will direct the eyes there and not in the interiors.

[@titojswabe3264]

slowest technique

[@bradleym.5752]

I do all my own editing so really appreciate your willingness to share this technique.

[@real-estate-photography]

You’re very welcome!

[@luvfoto]

I mean it definitely works, but I’m just gonna do a window pull in two seconds plus I’m never sending anything overseas. Nobody’s ever touched in my photos nobody ever will.

[@lasserious]

one of the better videos on KZbin ! thank you

[@Equilion]

I would blur the window content just a tiny bit to make the depth of field more obvious and the window view less distracting. I know it's how it was shot, but prefer to emphasise it more.

[@360VRStudios]

I blend my imges...never used a pen tool...pen tool is for noobs!

[@plphotos1322]

Why waste so much time doing it this way?

[@MrRichardbyers]

what a great tutorial - I'm now a big fan of yours.... thanks!

[@real-estate-photography]

You're very welcome!

[@godsson2974]

Your final product doesn’t look as good as the overseas editors will make it bro - let them save you time 💯💯

[@real-estate-photography]

I agree you can save a bunch of time sending over seas but even if you found a great editor, you still need to know how to do this all yourself. Like having a wicked self driving car - you still need to have a license and know how to drive yourself.

[@calebenson2543]

Great video $

[@real-estate-photography]

Thanks! You should check out my course for more helpful info.

[@fadeoutmediadotcom]

I feel like some overseas editors made this to trick American editors thinking this super convoluted way was a good technique so that they would continue to be super slow and clients would need to hire people from overseas
