Softare that will remove unwanted reflections?

6 years 2 months ago #562502 by Ruben Wade
Has anyone figured out how to remove reflections and put that into a software or plugin?  I'm referring to something that works on water, glass windows, and anything that can show an unwanted reflection.

I've done some searches and didn't see any that jumped out.  I had a client shoot from a couple weeks ago and in a few of the favorite shots that the client likes, there is a trash can in a reflection.  They might not notice it, however it bugs me.  

Let me know please.  Thanks!

Because it's generally not possible. Reflections are one of the few things you can't manage in post. Aside from some serious cloning/retouching work. There was a sample referenced here about 3 years ago, an extremely well done edit. But who's got time for that?

If you are in a location where reflections are a problem, you should have a circular polarizer at the ready. You may have to work your position and shot direction, too, as light and reflections are all about geometry.

For your specific situation, develop your PS skills and remote the trash can.

Small reflections and be cloned out, but larger items as :agree:  with Gary on this one.
