I came across this tutorial from a Google search after noticing glasses reflections from a shoot and found it really useful, thanks! Another trick I found for more complex reflections is to use the content-aware spot healing tool in color+luminosity mode, which automatically samples based on the surrounding areas rather than having to manually colorpick and manually adjust levels
why am I getting total desaturated color with the brush instead of the selected color? I've selected the brush tool, then the color but only get black and white/total desaturation of color where I want to get out a green color. thanks
I did retouching for many years.. and I always hated doing this.. I was hoping there was some new EASY way.. NOPE.. this is pretty much what I do.. It comes out good, just take your time.. thanks for sharing ;)
Thanks for saying that it might take some back and forth and several passes to fine tune. I was ready to give up, but I watched again, and that really helped.
Another really good video. The most informative part was your admission to having to repeat the effort 4-5x. Reminds us all, even the most skilled don’t always get it right in the first few passes. Patience pays off.
This channel single handedly helped me jump start my professional creative career. I’ve been watching your tutorials for years and I’ve gotta say, thank you so much. If I ever see you in person, first round is on me!!! 🤘🏼
Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was a big help removing camera flash glare on glasses in my photos. But in your demo there is still a small square reflection in the center of both eyes? Is there a way to get rid of that? And lastly I love your lighting for yourself. Do you do any tutorials on making an interview look so nice and bright light yours? I know all natural bright lighting is the new way to light a person so I was wondering if you could do a video on how to light a subject like yourself to look so naturally bright like the whole room and yourself look like just natural daylight is lighting you. It looks fantastic.
Hey there! The small square reflection are actually the lights. Usually we prefer to keep those as it creates a more captivating gaze. If you want to learn how to retouch eyes we have an amazing PRO tutorial on it: phlearn.com/tutorial/master-retouching-eyes/ While we do not have specific tutorials to light interviews, we do have an in-depth Photography PRO course phlearn.com/tutorial/photography-101/ In this tutorial we shoot at 20+ locations for a hands-on approach to learning the basics of photography.
How are you able to paint/brush and it not effect the areas you don't want effected? For example, I have a straight white reflection I'm trying to fix, but when I sample color then color over reflection, it isn't a clear as yours is coming out. It is changing the skin texture. I'm new to photography so learning all the editing techniques and this one has me stumped!
Been through this problem several times. Always used the clone and stamp tool as much as possible, but this comes out super clean! Thanks, I got educated lol.
I'm somewhat new to learning PS and have checked out different videos to play around and learn different tools and techniques. Your videos are by far the easiest to understand and follow! Great job - thanks!
I would love to see one where you edit or remove reflections from a reflective surface. Such as stainless steel items, knives, tools, ornaments, etc. You’re the best, love the channel! 💚
I loved this video. I found it when doing a search to remove color reflection from glasses. Below you will see a solution given by another Photoshop artist on a different picture. The point of me posting this is to ask you if you could have used the color channel on the picture you were working on. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THIS COMMUNITY. OTHER ARTIST SAID: So all you do is add a Channel Mixer adjustment layer, go to "Output Channel: Blue", and change it from 0/0/+100/0 to 0/+90/0/0. This will make the whole photo kinda weird-coloured. Invert the mask to hide it, then paint it on to the glasses only.
thanks for this. i saw you used a brush with black or white when colors were too dark or too light. i didn’t understand how that didn’t just make black or white lines all over the image. can you explain? was the brush a certain kind of layer or opacity or something?
I did everything as instructed but when I began using the brush to color in the glare spots, the color does not change. I already made sure to select color on the drop down menu and selected the color tone I wanted to use but nothing seems to work. Please help. I tried this on a different picture and it worked. Not sure why it's not doing anything on the new picture I'm trying to work on.
did nt work for me . The painted layer has always a different shade and does nt mix in the image. The levels adjusment changes the color or selected layer.
So glad I found this! Outstanding tutorial. Though Im having issues removing the line, added new layer and grab spot healing tool but nothing changes on that layer. Im on the layer but no luck, what am I missing? Thanks!
Excellent, as always! I can hardly wait to try this. I am curious to know why not feather the 2 selections a little bit? Wouldn't that have helped prevent the lines? Or would that have done more harm than good?
It wont work, once the mask gets to the darker area it will apply the levels and make it darker. So you will have a light edge or a dark edge. Only way is to heal it
What version of Photoshop are you using? I’m still using Photoshop 7 which I love but thinking about upgrading because there are no videos explaining how to do anything on Photoshop 7
It’s a good method for when the issue is primarily the discoloration. However it’s a very different level of difficulty when it’s a specular reflection of a soft box or umbrella, i.e. a big solid white square/shape on the lens! Such that you can’t see the skin under it at all and have to rebuild everything. That’s a whole different issue!
@@phlearn I tell my students that whatever pain they have to go through to solve the issue BEFORE they click the shutter is always better than the pain they’ll go through later in Photoshop. But for those times where they just can’t avoid it, because it does happen, they need to know how to solve it!
How do you get the healing brush tool to actually work? I create the layer in the same step and have all layers organized in the same order but there is nothing to "copy" for the healing brush tool and it doesn't actually do anything?
My first photoshop mentor on UA-cam and still learning from you. Good to see you bro :)
It's been 9 years of me being a fan of phlearn and Araon still amazes me with each tutorial. 😁
Wow, thank you!
BRAVO!! That was amazing to watch and see first hand that it can be done.
I've been watching your videos for the last 10 years. You've seriously gotten me out of some really big pickles and I can't thank you enough

Defiantly a pro tip. Not hard, but time consuming. 😎🤙

Wow... Works in hair and others textures. Great !!! Thanks a lot!!

This is such a great video. Even 2 years later this technique works well. Thank you, Phlearn!

Thanks for sharing Aaron. I'm wondering if this method could be used for getting rid of lens flare.
Oh good suggestion!

Thank you Sir for sharing the knowledge about Photoshop, with your kind heart. I want to ask you one question that do you take pictures with camera ?
He uses stock images, I’m sure.
Yes, this is a stock photo
Thank you for the reply.😊

Awesome job! Thank you so much Aaron! God bless you!

Aaron, your tutorials are so darn good! Thank you.
An useful video after ages.

did nt work for me . The painted layer has always a different shade and does nt mix in the image. The levels adjusment changes the color or selected layer.

Магия какая-то, спасибо!

I Aaron. Do you still have your Chicago loft studio? I miss seeing the video coming from there - it was cool!
I am currently living in Mexico!
@@phlearn O wow - quite the change. Your videos have not dropped in quality - just the location has changed. Keep up the great work and enjoy Mexico!
excellent sir
Thank you Master!
You are welcome!
Lots of love for your channel! I was just struggling with this very thing. Thank you Aaron! ❤
You're so welcome!

Thanks for sharing knowledge.
Amazing video! Very clear
Thank you
You always make things look so simple (even though it is not, as you admitted), so thanks once again for a great video
Great! Thanks
Great video, I can think of a lot of other uses for that color blend mode too, extremely useful!
