The Key to Success: Editing Before You Post
Before sharing your photos on Instagram or YouTube, it’s essential to focus on editing. A poorly treated image can ruin the impact of your project, while careful editing enhances every detail of the decor and architecture. Let’s dive into the impact of before and after edits and then move to a simple tutorial to improve your photos effectively and practically.
Before and After: How Editing Transforms Your Images
Editing not only improves the appearance of a photo but also highlights the right elements to add value to the space. The difference between an unedited and an edited photo could be exactly what your projects need to capture the attention of your target audience.

Quick Tutorial: How to Improve Your Photos with a Simple App
Here’s a quick guide to help you enhance your photos directly from your phone:
- Adjust Highlights and Shadows
- Reduce highlights, especially in exterior shots, to balance exposure between the interior and exterior of the property. This helps preserve natural light inside and highlights internal details. At the same time, adjust shadows to create more contrast and depth.
- Apply Sharpness Carefully
- A little more sharpness can highlight details like textures and lines, but be cautious not to overdo it, as it can make the image look artificial.
- Be Careful with Filters
- Filters can add a special touch, but many people make the mistake of overusing them, which can ruin the image. Use them sparingly to ensure a natural, professional look.
- Use Your Phone’s Native Editor
- You don’t need advanced tools to start. The native editor on your phone already has great features. For example, I frequently use the iPhone editor, which is excellent.
- Correct Lines and Perspectives
- When photographing, especially with a wide-angle lens, lines can appear distorted or crooked. Tools like Lightroom and the iPhone’s native editor allow you to adjust lines and correct perspectives, making your images more harmonious and straight—essential for good composition.
The Importance of Capturing and Editing
It’s not just about editing—the way you capture the image is also crucial. The secret is to balance light, choose the right angle, and compose the shot harmoniously. But it’s the editing that truly brings out the best features of the space and makes your project shine.
