My company shoots a lot of real estate. Interiors are blasted with CFL Lighting. Does anyone know have some tutorials on correcting these menacing lighting fixtures?? I’ve looked all over the net but can’t really find anything

If you’re shooting with a combination of flash and CFL lights, then using the proper gels to balance the flash to the lights is needed.
Beyond that, if it’s an issue that they put out too much light, hook them up to some sort of dimmer. From a post processing standpoint, shoot in RAW. You’ll probably need to use something like Photoshop to correct specific areas that are blown out,need specific color correcting, or will benefit from Content Aware Fill.
No flash just natural daylight and the interior lights. We do shoot in raw. We use aperture for our editing. Im wondering if anyone has a trick for overall correcting these blown out nuicances

Are your blow-outs predominantly the windows only? Or little features in the interior of the house as well? Some Canon dSLRs (5D Mark III, 70D, a few others) will shoot in-camera HDRs, and more importantly, do so in a very realistic manner (as opposed to the over top make me barf HDR’s we see on the net all the time). I know someone who uses a 5D Mark III with in-camera HDR for real estate and gets great and very realistic results.
(actually nearly any Canon dSLR can do this if you bracket 3 or more shots in RAW and then use Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software to do the HDR on the computer later).
I would think that fixing issues like what you are having only in Aperture might be difficult to pull off.
