how to remove glare

[luissaenz]

Hello
I did a photoshoot of a wedding and didnt noticed the glare on the glasses until I started to work on the pictures. Is there any way that I can remove this in PS without cloning too much? Is there something that can be done by adjusting contrast, etc?

Hi Luis,
not sure if we have spoken before, but if not it's nice to talk to you.

You my friend, IMO have given yourself a lot of problems here. I peronally have never had much Success in removing glare on glasses and always take extra care during the picture taking stage to advoid it. You could try a low percentage ‘burn’ brush in the area to try and reduce the visibility of the glare. Cloning, as you say is possible but I never think it looks natural.
I will be following this thread to see what other members advise, as it will be a learning curve for me as well.

Kind regards
