glare on glasses
Oct 14, 2012 13:48:59 #
first - it is very real, and just what we are used to seeing, the glare on glasses.
next, the eye is not totally lost to flare, so the image is not that degraded (granted it isn't a 'pro' shot but it is ok)
third, with such an incredibly handsome model, why worry? It is fine as is (though the offered edit is a really good fix) for what it is there is really no great problem.

Hi, I'm no photographer and joined this site today to learn a little about the same. I don't have photoshop I have Corel and I swapped your right eye to the affected side, not perfect, hopefully acceptable?

Captains one suggestion of tilting the glasses slightly forwards is the simpliest and fastest way to eliminate glasses glare. Why mess with PP when you can do it right out of the camera.........

This was my best effort.
A good job except for one thing. It looks like you did the horizontal flip that the captain refers to. This creates a problem though. The highlight on the pupil is now in the wrong place. In one eye, it is on the upper left. On the other, on the upper right. So it is better not to flip it, or if that doesn't look right, after flipping, edit the eye with the clone tool so the highlight is in the right place.

Thanks. I went back and made another, better effort, paying attention to those details, but didn't save it. I learn a lot from other peoples PP examples.

I have done a little of the replacement eye thing. I did do the horizontal flip, but didn't even think of the catch light being in the wrong place. Thank you guys for another valuable lesson.

Nice setup, but for the glare. Pity!
If you have digital, then take a shot and take a look, if there's glare then take another with the head pointing in a slightly different direction, and or, reposition the light source or close the curtain etc.
If you only have film then, have someone else view through the viewfinder and tell you to do the above until they see no glare, or reduced glare.
You could always take your glasses off completely I assume?
The one thing you need to keep in mind if you choose to take your glasses off, you may still find that glare off your eye ball, back to the first para.

take care repairing faces (like old prints scanned to fix a tear or indeed, this post)
if you clone a feature left to right it will look sinister because nobody's face is actual symmetrical and we are subconciously used to that - if you reconstruct an absolutely symmetric face, it doesn't look right, and worse the viewer won't know why, so is unsettled. Introduce a very slight distortion for perfection.
