I am on board for all vendors getting reflections and highlighs off of all hair, skin and eyes. I too have had to open textures in 2D and work out highlights on foreheads.

And vendors? When you sell a texture set with various makeup options (i never use those) OFFER AT LEAST ONE WITH NO MAKEUP!  I have seen that situation several times, all variants having makeup.

Vendors should proudly and proctively state that their product is reflection and highlight free.

What made me REALLY laugh in digust recently was a texture resource product -- intended for use in making commercial products -- full of highlights! Unbelievable.

Vendors, Ii you go to make a texture and your source/reference photos have highlights, don't use them, or feather them out. For refrerence, the photopgrapher is supposed to know that his lighting has to be flat and sufficiently diffuse so the detail is clear but no highlights.
