Re: How to delete reflections
you can try this. depending on how large you intent to print. I used the healing brush with the hardness settings at 50% and slowly worked the reflectional out, with trying to keep the color correct. To me the blue seems to less as we get closer to mother earth. Bob  |

The other image is going to be much harder. I'd recommend this: 1. Make a selection roughly the shape of the glare on the road. 2. Inverse the selection. It's the darker area you want to brighten, not the reflection you want to darken, in this case. 3. With the selection still active, make a new Curves or Levels Adjustment Layer. 4. Brighten until the dark area matches the brighter, reflected area. 5. Refine the selected area by painting on the mask on the Adjustment Layer - this is created automatically when you add an Adjustment Layer to a selection. With a soft-edged brush, you should just about be able to blend the adjustment into the image. Sorry I don't have time to work up an example. Hope this works for you! Steve |

Re: How to delete reflections
Ciao Stefano, per quanto riguarda la prima foto, ti consiglierei di selezionare il cielo e poi lavorare con lo strumento cerotto, così ti mescola bene i colori e mantiene le sfumature... unica accortezza: quando ti avvicini alla terra ti conviene utilizzare il timbro clone, altrimenti il cerotto ti lascia strisce nere.... Per l'altra foto, come diceva Steve, sarà un po' più complicato... dovrai giocare sui livelli e sui colori... la tonalità della foto infatti tende sul blue.... quando crei le selezioni, per cambiare le tonalità, ti conviene aumentare il numero di pixel da sfumare, così il cambiamento dei colori non sarà troppo netto. Spero di esserti stato utile. Alessandro |

Steve, thank you very much, it works, but it hasn't been easy. Alessandro, la tua tecnica ha funzionato perfettamente. Per non interferire con la terra ho bloccato i pixel trasparenti del cielo. Grazie mille. You all have been very helpful. |

Another method: Enter quick mask and paint in the dark area with a large soft brush. Exit quick mask and copy the selection to a new layer. Change the new layer mode to Screen Reduce opacity to get a match. Try to select just a bit more than you need so you can remove the halo with a layer mask, but if you use a big soft brush in Quick mask, it should be minimal. |
