Removing backgrounds (or making them transparent in this case) is a skill required within the basic levels of real estate photo editing. Making image backgrounds transparent is not a daunting task and can open the enhancement process to numerous possibilities. For instance, virtual staging is made possible through a set of images of interior furniture that have gone through a process to make their image backgrounds transparent. An exterior shot can now benefit from a sky replacement once the original sky has been taken out, enabling this basic realty editor technique to take place.
