p.1 #1 · Need help with glare removal


Wondering if anyone so kindly would help me with a glare removal on glasses. I tried a bit in photoshop with the clone tool but it just wasn't working out for me.

I was at my wife's cousins wedding and this was the brides parents. Thought it looked nice and was hoping to give them a print. It just a snapshot so please don't critique too much

If someone would be so kind to do this please email the image back to me in its high res format. Email: [email protected]

Thanks!

Thanks, Bob!

BTW, I did because of the challenge of re-building eyes obscured by the glare and because mosabi is a sometimes poster to the forum. But, in general, this sort of work is done by professionals who charge for the service. Not sure what one would charge, but I'd guess $50-100 or more. (I've no plans at this time to enter the business.) Don't want this forum to be seen as a place for free retouching service. I doubt we'd like to become the "Uncle Bobs" of retouching. Wouldn't be fair to folks who earn a living with it.

(The term "Uncle Bob" seems to be a derogatory term used by wedding photographers for amateurs who get in the way of professionals while they are trying to shoot weddings. It has no connection to you, Bob. It's just a name coincidence.)

Whew !!!

After spending way too much time on it, and not getting anywhere close to what I would consider "good" ... I can see why.

Wow Karen! That is fantastic!

I really didn't know how big of a challenge it would be honestly. I thank you for your attempt at fixing the glare and the rework, it turned out awesome. There is no income for me involved on this picture. Uncle Donny (my wifes uncle) shown in the picture never dresses up and this one time only dressed up for his daughters wedding, shocked the world

There was a professional photographer there who I'm sure got some good shots but I thought as a relative to them I would take a few shots. I had my wife and 2 young girls with me so getting a lot of shots was out of the question. Point and shoot was all I did.

Thanks again! Your help is beyond words.

RustyBug ~ I certainly appreciate your attempt though even if it didn't turn out. Much appreciated.

Whew, thanks for the clarification! "just kidding"

At our niece's wedding, I was appalled as more than a few in attendance felt free to walk about during the service firing off the ubiquitous camera/phone - more amazing, no one seemed to mind!

In my part of the world we (non-natives that is) refer to them as "Bubba".

Tried this before on an image of my mom. AuntiPode's efforts are remarkable, I knew in advance mine would result in faux cataracts so did not even attempt it

I should note, I spent almost as much time straightening his suit as I did reconstructing her eyes.

Thanks, Scott! I've only done a few eye reconstructions. It was an interesting challenge and I rather enjoyed it.
