Visual marketing firm VHT recently started a series of blog posts showcasing some very poor MLS photos from around the country for a Wall of Shame, and also features some beautiful photography from their Wall of Fame.

Here’s a sample from the Wall of Shame:

PropertyPreviews users can learn a lot from observing these photos and incorporating both what not to do, and what to do when photographing a listing.   If you’re consistently coming up with results like these Wall of Shame candidates, hire a professional!  The cost of the service will be less than the damage to your professionalism.

So far there have been three editions, and here are links to them all:

Free Online Photo Editor-FotoFlexer

The standard for photo editing still remains Adobe Photoshop.  However, using Photoshop does require a learning curve to use and it is expensive.  Photoshop elements $99 & Photoshop CS3 $999.  My favorite webapp for editing photos is FotoFlexer and it is FREE!!!.

FotoFlexer is a free online we application that allows you to upload images from you computer or other online photo applications like (Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket, and more)  to FotoFlex for editing.  There are no programs to buy and no subscribtions costs.  The user interface is easy to navigate.  Once your photo is uploaded there are options to crop, resize, add text, and many more.  What is also an advantage is you are able to save the file as a jpeg or png back to any destination you choose. (Desktop, Facebook, etc.)  Give it a try, I think you will find it useful for when you need a quick photo modification.
