This is good information. I know I suck at taking pictures.

All the info from Mike is what is needed! I have no doubt!

I have one further thought though.

I sometimes look at before and after pictures that I see posted and can easily spot that Photo Shop etc has been used to improve the pictures.

I don't ever touch mine up, because some of those I have seen, look "unreal" the sky is a different color, as well as the paint on the house, or the lawn and trees.

In fact, I have discarded some, just because the sun itself made the roof look "unrealy" { Not a word, but it makes the point } bright white etc.

Our customers are not stupid [ well, some are ]

So, enhancing for the purpose of "REALLY SHOWING" how bad the algae was or clearing up a dull after photo is smart business, not doing it properly, looks and can be, fake and make a customer dismiss your proof photos.

So, I suggest you actually learn how to do it right and only use minimal enhancement. Not that I can do that, but just telling you what I have "glaringly" noticed myself.

Here is an example of an untouched photo of a roof I did, that the sun itself makes look almost fake.

What resolution and size should the picture be shot at? My Pics are blurry when they are enlarged on our website. We are trying to get good pics of our work, but i am new to uploading to the www. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 Always shoot them in the highest rez possible.  They can be resized as needed at a number of free web sites that specialize in just that.

Here's a good one that I use.
