After
Follow these steps before you upload.

A straight horizon makes the room look larger and cleaner.
Doorways and corners capture more of the space in a single frame.
Hold the camera steady for sharp images. Rest on a surface if you can.
Include exterior, living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoor spaces.
