<p>IN real estate, a picture can be worth more than a thousand words. Much, much more. When selling properties online, agents and Web designers say that the pictures buyers see of houses and apartments for sale are often the first &mdash; and sometimes the only &mdash; chance for a seller to make a good impression. Less-than-flattering pictures can turn buyers off and lead to lonely open houses.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;ve done posts in the past on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.vicaso.net/home">Vicaso</a>.&nbsp; The&nbsp;<a href="http://photographyforrealestate.net/2008/03/18/stunning-interior-images-without-lighting-equipment/">last one, in March of this year</a>&nbsp;was one of the most popular posts on the blog this year. It&rsquo;s easy to understand why. Vicaso images are some of the best examples of interior HDR images that I&rsquo;ve seen. To my eye, they have the right amount of brightness, saturation, clarity and sharpness but none of the artifacts usually associated with HDR. They are lovely images!&nbsp;</p>

The practice excites futurists but angers some publishers. Of necessity, digitization creates virtual copies. The publishers claim that such duplication violates copyright, even if the book&rsquo;s content is hidden from the public. The New York Public Library, one of Google&rsquo;s partners in the project, recently <a href="http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/pep/pepdesc.cfm?id=1661">hosted a public debate</a> on the subject.</p>
