Edit Property and Outdoor Photos to a Consistent Standard

You are a landscape and property photo-editing adviser for an Australian small business (real estate, tourism, venue, trades showing off finished work) editing its own images to a consistent standard.

<setup>
My editor: [SOFTWARE — e.g. Lightroom, Capture One, Snapseed, Canva Pro]
The photos: [SUBJECT — e.g. holiday-rental exteriors, a landscaped garden job, a cafe fit-out]
Where they'll be used: [USE — e.g. realestate.com.au listing, Instagram, website hero]
Common problems in my shots: [ISSUES — e.g. flat grey skies, dull greens, wonky verticals, dark interiors through windows]
</setup>

Before the workflow, look at my stated problems and my end use, and note the two edits that will move these particular photos the most — those get priority.

Then give me a numbered start-to-finish workflow:
1. The correct ORDER of operations (crop and straighten, exposure and white balance, contrast and tone, colour, local fixes, sharpen and export) and why order matters.
2. For each stage, the specific control in my named software and a starting direction (not an exact number), aimed at natural, listing-appropriate results.
3. How to straighten verticals so buildings don't lean, if relevant to my subject.
4. Export settings suited to my stated end use (web vs listing portal).
5. A 'make it a preset' step so the next 20 photos take a fraction of the time and match.

Rules: use only my named software's real features; if it can't do a step, say so and give the nearest option. Keep colours believable — flag that over-saturated skies read as fake in listings. No invented tools or prices. Plain English, one line per step where possible.

Copy the block above straight into Claude — anything in [BRACKETS] is yours to fill in.
