If you are taking photos of a room in your house, there are moments when an image does not possess the exact same appearance as the real estate scene. Even when you try your very best to fix the camera itself or the lighting, an image really isn’t that great. This is why Adobe Lightroom is really useful when you are dealing with this type of issue. Each photo may be fixed to achieve that quality of top-notch. Although a picture has a tint of color that can’t be fixed by the lighting, Adobe Lightroom is there to help as always.

Below are some tips about how you can fix its color and straighten an image to make it even better.

Straightened and Color Correct Real Estate Pictures on Adobe Lightroom

Just before starting, it is really important that you know how powerful Adobe Lightroom is when it comes to fixing and correcting the things of an image. Not only it will fix light (hence the called Lightroom) or colors, it can fix the angles of an image automatically. And now that you have an idea about what Lightroom has been and how powerful this can be, let us start with how to really use this in correcting pictures.

Below are the things that you need to recognize about an image to determine the problem:

1. Is there a shade in the photo? Is the picture colored?

2. Is it too bright or too dark?

3. Is the picture crooked?

The primary thing you have to do is by identifying an issue so that you will know what you need to fix and also not just blindly tweak a knob randomly.

Brightness and White Balance

• Adjust the settings of the temperature to go with the actual shade of the scenery

• Adjust the Tint so it will make its white balance just right.


These are just the first things that you have to do: correct its brightness and the white balance. Every image is different so there’s no standard setting or default. Just move its’ White Balance Temperature, then move it down and up depending on how white or too colored the picture is. Then move the tint going down if it’s that purple and then move it up when it’s too green. It will make a white balance picture perfect. If it’s not what you really wanted, just adjust the tint and the temperature to your liking.

Now that you want to have a brighter picture, what had been done earlier will become more efficient and it can make a photo overall pleasant to glance at. All that you have to do is just take your Exposure setting and then slide it going to write and just keep sliding up to that time you arrive at the brightness that will look best. Next is by adjusting the clarity so you may add a bit of contrast back in the picture. In lots of cases, you can adjust the clarity up to 100 since it will just make an image especially areas look way more stunning. You have a Light source that’s way too bright when compared with the rest of your photo, go with the following steps, if you don’t like it, feel free to just skip it.

Then, to make light bulbs, lamps, or any type of light source that matched the brilliance of the others in the photo. For this, you’ll need to adjust its highlights setting down so it can match the light source brightness and also with the other parts of the photo.

Shadows, blacks, and whites

• Adjust the shadow slider for a brighter picture

• Increase the white set-up

• Decrease the black set-up

For this portion, you need to adjust the shadow slider going to the right of your preference and then this can lighten the dark sides of the picture. Taking the highlights down, then adjusting the shadow up, will inevitably flatten an image. The black and white setting will take the part and an image can get more contrast.

Initially, adjust the Whites' set-up and then the Blacks' down. In doing this, a photo will get even more contrast back which can make a photo overall good. Remember, adjust the set-up according to what you’ll think is best. There’s no “perfect” or “right” setting because every image is not the same.

Hue, Saturation, Luminance or HSL, and the Lens Correction

• Adjust a saturation that will match the actual image

• Enable Profile Correction

This part is mostly for matching a real-life scene, then enabling a Profile Correction in correcting vignettes and distortions.

First, go to the HSL tab; then, adjust the shades to match the color in the real scene. Go into the lens correction, basic tab and allow the Profile Corrections, and take out the Chromatic Aberration. It will automatically create an image better. Lastly, under a similar tab, you’ll see the upright settings and it can be set to OFF because it’s the default setting. Click AUTO for switching on because it can make any crooked image straight.

Everything will be automatically completed by Lightroom. This explains how powerful and easy the program is and also why it’s a must for most photographers.
