They rotate the first picture



No, I think it's a different house. Look at the front windows. 2nd house has two windows, first house has one.
I mean this two

well yeah, he rotated the first picture to show the similarity in the roof line and shape of the house as compared to the "fake" one.

The watermark shows that it was rotated see the GLVAR 2008 in the middle of the picture.

We us picasa it not for realtors but it's fast and easy to resize and to adjust photos. It doesn't do all the fancy stuff though that you might be looking for. But it is great for us doing heavy volume of bpo or reo business where we have to submit hundreds of photos are resize the for web portals and photo addendums.

For most real estate agent needs, Picasa is excellent....it's fast, effective, and simple. I use PaintshopPro when I need to "remove" something from a picture, like a stray piece of debris on the floor or something else that I missed.

I use Photoshop 7 and I have years into learning the software. But for quick editing you can do pretty well with Picasa, which is a free download from Google.


neudot, I disagree with you completely. Lights can manually be added with software. Below are two images of a house which lights were added with software. The first picture has not lights and it is the original picture. The second picture below has lights added and the surroundings were also touched up with one click software.

I'm not sure which software they used to alter the image. The realtor refused to tell me. But anybody can see for themselves below that lights were added to the house and the ouside was darkened to appear to be dark outside. Also, the images are exactly the same angle of the camera. The lights were added to the garage where there are no lights on the garage of that house(I am familiar with that house). I know a previous listing agent and that house does not have all those lights on the outside. That house has lights on the front door "only".

And picassa does not add lights. Picassa does the same thing as microsoft's free mspaint which comes free on all windows xp computers.

So if anybody knows what software they used to add the lights below, then please share with the rest of us. smile





Those are two separate pictures taken at different times of day from a similar angle (but not the same). The way to get the pictures you'd like is simply to take good pictures to begin with.

The branch covering the upper right window is different, the angle of the sewer grate is different, and the placement of the window on the house to the left in comparison to the subject property is different.

Same house, 2 pictures, slightly different angles. Whomever told you they did that in a photo editor was (in my opinion) bsing you.

Personally I use PhotoMatix, Photoshop CS2, and Picasa.

I know a lot of people that use GIMP. It’s just like PhotoShop, only FREE. I haven’t had much experience with it, but from what I have seen, it does a fantastic job of editing and adding features, and even taking features away.
