Hi All,

Just trying to see if with all the new updates if there is a better way to bring back blown out windows into an architectural interior from a darker shot. What's the best way?

LR 13.4

ps 25.9.1

Ventura 13.6.7

macOS

Thanks to all for your suggestions. This job had already been shot. It was shot raw and bracketed. I was only looking to see what the best way is, currently given the state of PS, to bring back the windows in an aligned layered document.

I am not aware of any new enhancements in Photoshop, apart from the established methods of raw processing and HDR.

Sorry everyone. Maybe I didn't explain my question. I know how to shoot this and have also been doing this many years. I do shoot in raw, tripod, bracketed, etc. My question was about any new techniques in POST, to blend the windows back in lightly.

Not a new technique, but Merge to HDR in Camera Raw or Lightroom Classic should do what you want.

In LrC, select the bracketed exposures, and press Cmd+H.

I'm a working pro with 40+ years of experience and I've always been skeptical of the "get it right in camera" crowd. At the same time, real estate photography is often shot on a tripod with plenty of time for multiple exposures. You should be able to bracket both exposure and white balance for blending into a final image if needed.

Should photographers not try to take good photographs right away?

A lot can be done to improve problematic photographs after the fact but if that can be avoided so much the better.

One of the most famous photos in history shows Robert Kennedy lying in a hotel kitchen immediately after being shot. I read about the process used to print that photo, it was majorly underexposed and extremely thin. Certainly in that instance as well as many others, stopping to change settings would mean not getting the shot.

That's why I mentioned that in real estate photography, you do have time to get it right (for post processing) in camera.

Shoot raw. Shoot bracketed exposures. It all starts at capture.
