Does anyone out there have any suggestions for removing eyeglass glare? I'm beginning to think there is no fix for this problem .. but, thought I'd ask the pro's. Thanks in advance, very much!! Shari

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

I'm so sorry .. Yeah, sometimes I take pictures of people that wear glasses .. and sometimes there's a glare in one or both lenses ... how would or could I possibly fix that?

no idea either, shari... perhaps you could try to work with the red eye tools... or try to add a mask and try to desaturate the areas... this would make the effect at least less grave...

Aim your flash gun at a ceiling so the flash bounces off the ceiling, or have your flash gun to the side of your camera, fixes both red eye and eyeglass glare

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Like azy said...aim the flash at ceiling, but if your flash is built in sometimes having a tissue over the bulb will cut down glare.Anytime you flash a light at glass it will reflect it.Might have to ask the person to turn slightly.Or remove them. I have actually used a clone brush to remove some glare.Just take your time in postwork and work large pixel by pixel.

Yes kleenex will do...or a napkin....then you have something to wipe the tears away with if your shots don't turn out.

Sometimes just sliding the glasses up or down a bit will help with the reflections. Also you can use the clone tool to remove/reduce the glare.

Thanks Randy... I think that's the ticket; is during the photo shoot, pay better attention to the eye glasses of the subject ... I just have a few pictures that I REALLY love, but are ruined by that darned glare. Thanks for your suggestions ... Shari
