Original Review
This is a well-composed interior shot that suffers primarily from dynamic range limitations common in mixed lighting. The main goal of editing should be to balance the bright window light with the dark recessed shelving while ensuring vertical lines are mathematically straight.
- Lift shadows in the background bookshelf area
- Reduce highlights in the window view
- Correct vertical perspective distortion
The image is strong: sharp, well-styled, and naturally inviting with pleasing symmetry. The main opportunities are balancing the bright window area, tightening architectural lines, and making whites slightly cleaner while keeping the warm design intent intact.
- Reduce window highlights (Highlights -40 to -70) and, if needed, use a linear gradient on the window to pull Exposure down ~-0.3 to -0.7 while lifting Shadows slightly (+10 to +25) to retain view detail without flattening the room
- Correct verticals and overall perspective (Transform/Guided Upright) to straighten window frame and walls; then fine-tune crop to maintain symmetry
- Neutralize the warm cast slightly (Temp -200 to -500K, Tint as needed) and selectively cool whites on lampshades/walls using a luminance mask to avoid shifting the orange textiles too much

Combined Improvements Applied:
- Lift shadows in the background bookshelf area
- Reduce highlights in the window view
- Correct vertical perspective distortion
- Desaturate yellows slightly in the neutrals
- Increase local contrast (clarity) on textile textures
- Reduce window highlights (Highlights -40 to -70) and, if needed, use a linear gradient on the window to pull Exposure down ~-0.3 to -0.7 while lifting Shadows slightly (+10 to +25) to retain view detail without flattening the room
- Correct verticals and overall perspective (Transform/Guided Upright) to straighten window frame and walls; then fine-tune crop to maintain symmetry
- Neutralize the warm cast slightly (Temp -200 to -500K, Tint as needed) and selectively cool whites on lampshades/walls using a luminance mask to avoid shifting the orange textiles too much
- Add targeted midtone contrast/texture: apply a gentle S-curve or Contrast +10 to +20, plus Clarity/Texture +5 to +15 mainly on upholstery and curtains; keep walls smooth by masking
- Subtle cleanup of distractions: remove/clone small bright reflections on the coffee table glass and any minor edge distractions; optionally reduce lamp hotspot brightness with a brush (Exposure -0.2 to -0.4)
