photo editing: Photo Optimizing and Enhancing – A Viable Service? - 12/13/09 02:09 AM
This is really a question for any listing agents out there. Would it be of value to have a resource that could take your photos and correct, optimize, or enhance them to make them more professional looking?

Or, you can see what’s outside just fine, but the room is underexposed and way too dark. But we’ll talk about fixing that in a different tutorial
