BEYOND BASIC EDITING

How Benchmark Delivers Standout Images

At Benchmark, we know that every photographer edits photos but not all editing is created equal.

Standard editing typically involves blending multiple exposures to produce a well-lit image.
This ensures rooms appear bright, and window views are correctly exposed.
While that’s an important first step, that’s usually where most editing stops. Not at Benchmark.

We take your images further using advanced AI-enhanced retouching techniques. After blending, we enhance each photo to improve clarity, remove distractions, and elevate the overall look.

In the above example you will notice that the sofa to the left & red sofa to the right are quite large and take up too much space of the living area. To make the room far more attractive and spacious here is what we did:

McGrath

Reduced the size of the couch left side and right side.
Improved the outdoor area by adding in green leaves grass.
Removed the cables and modem near and under the tv set.
We cleaned up the fridge and removed ugly shadows.

WHY RETOUCHING MATTERS

If a property is fully styled and spotless, basic edits may be enough. But for lived-in homes or partially styled spaces, our retouching makes a real difference.

We can:

Minimize clutter
Remove marks or imperfections
Soften harsh shadows
Enhance textures and tones

The result? A more polished, inviting image that captures attention and presents the property in the best possible light. As you’ll in these examples the difference is clear—and it’s what sets Benchmark apart.

The kitchen look too busy and the fridge was crowded with magnets. To make the kitchen appeal more this is what we did:

Ray White

Removed all the fridge magnets & shadows.
We took out the kitchen appliances in the middle and between fridge and microwave and removed light spots.
We also removed some items out of the oven and stickers on the oven.

Another typical example of a unit occupied by a tenant. Here is what we did:

Morton

Cleaned up the bed creases and removed/replaced pillows.
Removed box on the left side
Cleaned up bedside table and add a light
Removed clutter on top of the cupboard near en-suite

A further example of a tenanted unit. Here's what we did:

Di Jones

Removed clutter, reflections in kitchen and on fridge
Added in round table and chairs
Added in flower pots
Added artwork to wall
Fixed water damage on ceiling

All the above retouching examples are completely standard with Benchmark.
