Glass Reflections
Concept dealing with the management and removal of unwanted reflections from glass surfaces in photography.
Challenges
- Reflections often obscure subject details and reduce image contrast.
- Standard Lightroom tools have significant limitations when handling complex glass reflections.
Workflow & Tools
Lightroom Limitations
- Built-in “Distraction Removal > Reflection Removal” features are often ineffective for complex or high-contrast reflections.
- Manual cloning/healing is time-consuming and may leave artifacts.
Photoshop Generative Fill Workaround
- Utilize Photoshop’s Generative Fill for superior results when Lightroom fails.
- Select the reflection area and use AI to reconstruct the background/subject behind the glass.
