Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove power lines from aerial photos?

Yes! Power line removal is one of our most requested services. We carefully remove power lines, telephone poles, and electrical infrastructure while maintaining natural backgrounds and sky detail.

What is virtual twilight conversion?

Virtual twilight transforms daytime aerial photos into stunning dusk/twilight scenes with warm glowing windows, blue hour skies, and dramatic ambiance. This is highly effective for luxury real estate listings.

Do you edit RAW files from drones?

Absolutely! We prefer RAW files (DNG format from DJI drones, etc.) as they provide maximum editing flexibility for exposure recovery, color correction, and detail enhancement.

Can you make dead grass look green?

Yes, we can enhance lawn appearance, making brown or patchy grass appear lush and green. This is common for off-season real estate photography or properties with landscaping challenges.

How do you handle atmospheric haze in aerial images?

We use specialized dehaze algorithms combined with manual adjustments to reduce atmospheric haze while maintaining natural depth and avoiding flat-looking images. The result is clear, vibrant aerial photos.

Can you create panoramas from multiple drone shots?

Yes! We can stitch multiple overlapping aerial images into wide panoramic views. This is perfect for showcasing large properties, construction sites, or expansive landscapes.
