HDR with Enfuse

[steverup50]

I am starting a real estate photo/video company after working with another company for some time. Whenever this company shot interiors, they shot HDR with a min of 5 photos (under - over). They use a company in India to merge all the photos and create beautiful looking interiors where not only is the color and exposure of the rooms perfect, but the details outside the windows look perfectly exposed. So for example, there is a living room with a huge window, when treated by the company in India , this window shows the blue sky outside, green palm trees, etc... I took the same raw HDR images of the living room, merged them in Light room, played with settings in Develop, and still cant get close to the look the India company is putting out. I am trying hard to keep all the images processing right in my office but I cant achieve the quality in Lightroom that is necessary. This India company will not reveal what they are using to create the beautiful interiors. I am no Lightroom expert, so I am hoping an expert from this forum can guide me in the right direction on how to make the window detail much better. I have the raw images and the final created from India if anyone wants to see. Thanks.

I find that Lightroom does a pretty good job if you merge to HDR DNG. You mention Enfuse in the title, but Enfuse isn't really HDR if I remember correctly. It's a method that uses masks. I can't tell you what that company in India is using, but it may be something like Photomatix Pro.

And what interior lighting did they use?
