Reflections

What is the best way to eliminate reflections on eyeglasses that were caused by a flash?

Hi Casey, Welcome. :)

I know it can be done but I am not sure of the process. There may not be a lot of people on right now so if you don't get an answer right away... do check back.

Hi Casey,

The only tool that I know of is the clone tool. Blow up the image really
big then sample small areas and go slow, sample many times. You
may not be 100% successful.

When taking pictures of people wearing glasses - ask them to tilt their
slightly down or to one side. This will minimize the glare.

HTH Tom :D

Casey,

If you do a search on the forum for 'Glare on Glasses' you'll pull up quite a number of threads with great advice on how to fix this.

Is it both lenses? If it is only on one then a possibility is to copy the good lens and then flip it and paste it onto the bad one . You may have to adjust the size and then erase/clone out bits to make it blend in. I did this on a photo of my ma-in-law who had her eyes shut - I just took her eyes and glasses from another picture and in the end you couldn't tell! (That's another way to do it - if you have a duplicate picture without the glare!)

Let's see the before & after pictures when you've finished!

Hi Casey ..

... and welcome to the forum :)

One tip for this is when you are taking photos of people who wear glasses just ask them to tip their glasses slight down before you take the photo.
