Las Vegas Strip condo and high-rise HDR processing requires conservative tone mapping that maintains natural lighting relationships while managing extreme dynamic range between bright exterior city views and interior ambient lighting. Professional HDR limits prevent the artificial, over-processed appearance that reduces buyer trust and violates MLS professional standards.
Appropriate HDR processing for Las Vegas Strip properties uses 3-5 bracketed exposures with conservative tone mapping, shadow lifting that reveals detail without introducing noise, and highlight recovery that maintains exterior view detail without creating flat, unrealistic lighting conditions. Window pull techniques enhance city views while preserving natural contrast and lighting transitions.
Processing limits include avoiding halo effects around high-contrast edges, maintaining realistic color saturation that doesn't oversaturate neon lights or city illumination, and preserving natural shadow gradients that provide depth and dimension to interior spaces. Summerlin West high-rises and Downtown Las Vegas luxury properties require similar conservative processing standards.
Over-processing violations include excessive shadow lifting that creates flat, unrealistic lighting, aggressive highlight compression that eliminates natural lighting variation, oversaturated colors that misrepresent interior finishes and materials, and artificial tone mapping that creates the distinctive "HDR look" associated with amateur photography rather than professional real estate marketing.
