Hi All,

Any tips for removing glare on a client's eyeglasses on film?

Thanks!

use an extra light on the model to keep the glare down when you take the photo

Thanks!

How about correcting it in post-edits?  Any suggestions?

it would help to know what software you are using to make these edits;

Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Prem pro and After effects all bring to mind depending on the job needs

Sure no problem...using premier, photoshop and after effects

ok for Photoshop I would use the the trick WobertC posted... another model image can be used if you don't have a photo of that same person without their specs but at the end of the day,

best results = fix it at the camera first

Best advice I have seen Pre&Post is-

Take two images of the person- 1) with specs, 2) without specs. by quickly asking person to remove glasses without shifting position.

In Photoshop- layer the 2) 'good' eyes over 1) the 'glare' eyes.

Even reduce opacity of 'good' eyes if you want to show a faint touch of glare.

Try putting a layer into the Camera Raw filter and use dehaze. It can reduce the reflection, but not completely eliminate it. You may not want to eliminate all the reflection.
