Enhanced View
Optimizes color, contrast, and detail while keeping the outdoor view close to its natural appearance.
- Usually kept slightly brighter than the interior.
- Color casts are corrected when necessary.
- Sky replacement is available when requested.
Light View
Creates a bright but still clear and detailed view, with restrained enhancement to color and contrast.
- Dark views may be lifted to match the overall collection.
- Not recommended when the outdoor view is the main subject.
- Sky replacement is generally avoided at this exposure level.
Bright View
Keeps the window very bright while retaining a small amount of visible outdoor detail.
- The window becomes an obvious source of natural light.
- Brightness may be increased for consistency across the assignment.
Radiant View
Produces a fully blown-out, desaturated window where only a soft impression of the exterior remains.
- Shows almost no outdoor detail.
- Creates a strong backlit appearance.
- Makes the window read as the primary natural light source.
