Dear Experienced PhotoShop users,
I have a photograph of a person in glasses. I would like to remove or at
least minimize the glare from the flash.
I tried looking in help under glare, windows, removing glare, but it yielded
no results. I'm thinking perhaps it has a different name to the technique.
A point in the right direction or to another tutorial would be greatly
appreciated.
If someone feels kindly, a few steps would be appreciated as well.
TIA
Kelly Kirsch

I am a semi-pro photographer and I fix this all the time with PS. I use the
"Cloning Tool".
First enlarge the picture, select the cloning tool and select an area very
close to the glare. You can even select an are from the other eye if it
does not have glare.
Good luck.

I agree with Brian re the Cloning tool for this correction, I'd just
like to add that I have found that varying the opacity of the tool
between 30% and say, 75% results in a more "believable" correction.
Copy the image onto a new layer, enlarge the view and as Brian said,
clone from the non glare areas of the spectacles into the glare. With
varying opacities this will allow some of the underlying to show
through. You can then check your progress by "switching" the layers on
and off.
Practice makes perfect;-)

Hello Mike and Brian,
Thank you both for quick replies. I've made some initial attempts at this
using your suggestions and I'm coming up with some odd results. Therefore
I'm not certain I am quite understanding the technique.
If I am not mistake, putting attachments to newsgroups is frowned upon.
Would either of you mind much if I sent you a clip of what I've done for a
critique? Or is it okay to post an attachment?
TIA,
Kelly Kirsch

What sort of odd results? Are you familiar with the clone tool? (looks
like a camera)
Better not to send attachments to NGs, but if you want to I will have a
peep at it if you send me a jpeg of it. (before and after anti glare
application if possible).
