VirtualTourNewbie22 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I am very new to using the Affinity photo software and photo editing in general so please excuse my ignorance. I recently started shooting virtual tours and have been experiencing the same issue with most of my indoor photos inside of buildings where the open windows have ended up with very bright and washed out highlights. I have experimented with HDR 9-step bracketing and have improved my shots considerably but the window sections of the pictures are still too washed out for my liking. Most of them end up with a blue hue to them and I would like to understand how to remove that blue hue and improve the exposure of the outside scenery through the window. I have included a few sample shots to help illustrate what I am trying to describe. I am using the Insta One X2 camera which does have its limitations but it is all that I can afford at the moment and just wanted to be able to make the shots it produces as good as possible for now until I can upgrade to a better camera.

John Rostron Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 The outside view clearly has a different colour temperature/white balance. I would suggest that you make a selection of the window view, copy it, and then adjust the colour balance of just that selection.

VirtualTourNewbie22 Posted February 15, 2021 Author Posted February 15, 2021 Yes thank you John that was what I was thinking as well but the problem I have is actually putting that idea into action with Affinity Photo. Are there any tutorials, youtube videos etc. that you are aware of that deal specifically with that technique? Quote
