SUMMARY

Nathan Cool provides a tutorial on creating natural window pulls in real estate photography, a technically demanding post-processing task. He advises against cutting out windows, instead recommending the use of darken mode in Photoshop to preserve edges and details like frames and blinds. Cool also highlights the importance of correct flash exposure during capture and using a repair layer with a no-flash ambient shot for persistent reflections. Proper white balance, with daylight pulls closer to 5000-6000K than interior flash shots, is crucial for realistic results.

TAKEAWAYS

Avoid cutting windows; use darken mode for natural blends.

Adjust exposure and white balance based on the view's importance.

Use separate layers and exposures for windows with different elements like screens.

Match daylight white balance (5000-6000K) with window pulls.
