Question HI Joe,
I have been tring to remove glass glare from some ones glass in photoshop 7. I have not been very sucessful.
I am new to photoshop and have been tring to learn on my own, I also downloaded adobe elements 7 thinking it would be simpler to understand but still cann't remove glass glare from glasses, can you help me?
Thank you Mary beth
Answer Hi Mary Beth,
That's a tough one, especially without seeing the image in question.
Essentially what it sounds like you're trying to do is put information into the photo that isn't there. Instead of an eye you've got a white reflection.
One thing that might help you is a technique that I use if say somebody is a habitual blinker. They aren't going to blink in every photograph, so I find a similar picture to the one I'm working on that their eyes aren't closed. I then select those eyes, feather them a few pixels, and using the move tool I drag them onto the photo I'm working on. Sometimes I have to use Edit>Free Transform to get them on there just right.
That's the 10-cent explanation, you're going to want to get some training either online or with a book.
