Fixing too much flash
Wes Gray wrote:
I have this photo which I am pretty happy with: http://picasaweb.google.com/wesleygr...93629613775842 It seems like I should do something to reduce the glare of the flash. I played around with brightness and contrast, and was having a hard time telling if I was making things better or worse. If this was your photo, what would you do with it? In Photoshop, use the Clone tool. Set the Opacity to whatever makes the picture look the way you want it. Start with Opacity of about 35%, then add more or less to taste. Most other Photo Editors have a similar tool. Bpb Williams |

I know what the clone tool in Gimp does - it copies from one area to another (with opacity and brush options); what area do you envisage copying from and to to fix the OP's glare? BugBear |

BugBear From an area closely adjacent to the hot spot. With an opacity of around 20-50% you leave a reflection of the flash but it is very subdued. One can adjust the opacity to get just the desired attenuation of the reflection. Bob |
