Just Fred I did a very fast correction using fill selection in PSE 2021. I know its not great but maybe it would be a starting point. I would finish using the clone tool but not having any idea what your main subject looked like without the reflection I wasn't sure excatly where to clone. You have so many good sections at least you have a selection.

Neutral density filter? How could that possibly remove reflections? Use a polarizer

I took some photos this week at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH this week. Almost all of the displays are behind glass. In some case, such as the photos below, the glass is reflecting images from other displays. I have found that in some cases, a ND filter can eliminate most, if not all, reflected images, but I had none with me. So I'm wondering if there is a way to remove (or at least minimize) them in post-processing?

(For the curious, the photos are of the unique amplification rig designed and developed by guitarist John Cipollina, one of the leading guitar players in the heyday of San Francisco's acid-rock sound).

Yes but it's tedious. Enlarge the image to 200 percent in whatever you use for editing and clone and stamp them out. It is tedious but if you enlarge the image to at least 200 percent the results will be very good if you spend the time.

Lacking the ability to reshoot with a CPL (which will still probably not get rid of ALL the reflections)
A technique I have used with some success is to carefully clone out the ones that are possible.
Reflections over dark areas are easy, reflections obscuring important detail, are not always possible to fix, but you can often make them better.

I see you are getting almost no actual help. sorry I can't help as I don't know that software. Photoshop woulddo it easily. My suggestion is upload the pix and ask people to fix it for you . You'll get hundreds of people saying why dont you do it yourself, and you will get a few that will actually help and fix them.....

I did attempt to help and also worked on his image and posted it. He now has a pretty good idea of how to correct this issue and how to avoid it in future.

If you can't reshoot with a CPL (an ND filter has no reflection reduction abilities that I know of) then you are probably looking at a lot of tedious work with the clone tool, and maybe content-aware fill.

Obviously, if you shot that on a vacation trip, you are not about to go back and reshoot. If you want to have a go at retouching I would suggest Inpexio software. It simplifies "erasing and cloning". Attaced is a quick and dirty edit of your shot- 5 minutes of work. Some reflections still remain but they are not as distracting- they look like other artifacts in the background. That software also provides dodging and burning-in features- not more detail in the horns and the speaker enclosure. Downloading the software is not terribly expensive and is quite handy.

Inpixio software seems to be subscription based and some of it appears to require uploading files to their servers. Has it always been this way?

Yes! as far as I know. You buy the package you prefer. I use the Ultimate 11 and the Maximizer 12. Never a problem and they have good support services.

The OP wants to know about removing them in post. Not how to avoid reflections in the first place.
What you need to do is use an image editing program, and take out the reflections with a cloning tool and healing brushes. Photoshop or Gimp. Gimp is similar and its free.
