Introduction
At Visiting Media, we are committed to delivering 360° photos that uphold the highest professional standards and support your brand's success. This article outlines our established editing criteria to ensure consistency, clarity, and elevated quality in every image.
Default Editing Practices
The following editing standards are included by default with all 360° photography projects:
Consistent Lighting
We ensure uniformity in lighting fixtures and color temperature throughout the space to maintain a balanced and professional appearance.
Important Note: Use only daylight LED bulbs (5000K) or cool white LED bulbs (4000K) as specified by your brand, preventing color mismatches that could affect the final quality.
Surface Perfection
Our editors clean up any visible dirt, stains, or wet areas to create a polished environment that reflects your highest standards.
Privacy and Distraction Removal
We blur all license plates and remove people from the images to safeguard privacy and direct attention to the property.
Important Guidelines:
- If complete removal is not possible, faces will be blurred as a secondary measure
- Blurring does not replace the standard of keeping spaces people-free during shoots
Enhanced Visual Cleanliness
Our editing process removes specific objects and imperfections, including:
- Camera and photographer reflections
- Wrinkles or creases in linens
- Stains or marks on furniture
- Dirty spots on ceilings or air vents
- Visible cables, cords, and construction equipment
Editing Limitations
The following elements may remain if removal is not technically feasible:
- Large objects close to the camera
- Social distancing stickers or signage
- Glass and light reflections
Preparation Requirements
These editing standards do not replace the need for comprehensive photoshoot preparation. For optimal results:
- Consult our photoshoot readiness video and checklist before your scheduled session
- Ensure spaces are properly staged according to our preparation guidelines
- Coordinate with your team to minimize the need for extensive post-production editing
Brand-Specific Requirements
If your brand photography guidelines require additional or specific edits:
- Inform your 360° Project Manager before the shoot begins
- Provide detailed brand guidelines for seamless integration into your workflow
- Discuss any special requirements during the pre-shoot planning phase
Important Billing Information
Cost Considerations:
- Standard editing practices listed above are included in your project cost
- Submitting significant editing requests after content goes live may incur additional charges
- Requests that differ from established standards or brand guidelines may result in extra fees
Best Practice: Early communication ensures your project aligns with your vision and timeline while avoiding unexpected costs.
Quality Assurance Process
Every 360° image undergoes our comprehensive quality review:
- Technical assessment for clarity and resolution
- Brand compliance verification
- Standard editing application
- Final quality control before delivery
Next Steps
Review our photoshoot preparation materials before your session and communicate any special brand requirements to your 360° Project Manager. This proactive approach ensures the highest quality results that meet your specific needs.
