I’ve been experimenting with DxO PhotoLab, PureRAW, and Nik Collection for improving interior photography, especially for apartment spaces. Recently, I worked on a set of photos taken inside a residential project similar to Experion Windchants, focusing on rooms, lighting, and overall spatial mood. One challenge I noticed in apartment interiors is balancing natural light with indoor artificial lighting. Some rooms had large windows but uneven exposure, while others were slightly underexposed in corners. I used DxO PureRAW first to clean up noise and recover details from shadows, which made a noticeable difference in darker areas.
After that, I processed the images in DxO PhotoLab, mainly using Smart Lighting and ClearView Plus to enhance depth without making the interior look artificial. Lens corrections also helped straighten architectural lines, which is very important for real estate/interior shots.
Finally, I used Nik Collection (especially Color Efex Pro) for subtle tone adjustments to keep the apartment feel warm and natural, without over-editing.
Overall, this workflow helped bring out a more realistic and premium look of the interior spaces, especially in large residential environments like Experion Windchants-style apartments where lighting conditions vary from room to room.
Would be great to know how others are handling interior architecture photography using DxO tools.
