Lightroom Real Estate photo editing question

Hello,

This is my first post. I'm a total noob with lightroom.

 

Can the second photo taken with an iPhone 12 Pro be edited in Lightroom to remove the glare/flare from the lights, similar to the first photo taken and edited by a professional photographer?

 

Thank you!

 

Correct answer Sean McCormack

The issues with the iPhone photo is that you didn't clean the lens. Even with that you're not going to get the same quality as a camera in the hands of a pro. Or on the tripod.

      Generally, removing flare is a job for Photoshop, but perhaps with the new masking and cloning tools, some of the flare can be removed in Lightroom Classic. But even better would be to expose the photo in the camera properly. You can ask the professional photographer for advice on how he does that. Or look on the Internet for "protect the highlights"
