Photoshop\u2019s Lasso Tool is an easy way to remove glare spots from photos. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

The subject\u2019s right eye above has an annoying green glare from the camera\u2019s flash. <\/em><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let bright reflections from a camera flash detract from a friend or family member\u2019s face. As you can see in the photo above, a bright green glare is taking up a large section of the subject\u2019s right eye. This tutorial walks you through how to get rid of it in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Just stick the image in Photoshop to simply and quickly remove any glare from your favorite pictures using the handy Lasso Tool. Wearing glasses<\/a> should be a fashion statement, so show off your eyewear and what\u2019s behind the lens by perfecting photos before uploading and sharing.<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/em> Load the image into Photoshop.<\/p>\n

\"remove<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/em> Make a copy of the original image on a new layer so any changes can be discarded and the original image is safe in the base layer.<\/p>\n

\"duplicate<\/p>\n

Press Ctrl+J (PC) or Cmd+J (Mac) to copy the original image to a new layer. <\/em><\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/em> Select the Lasso Tool by clicking on the icon or hitting the \u201cL\u201d hotkey.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/em> With the Lasso Tool, select part of the other eye to replace the section blocked out by glare.<\/p>\n

\"select-part-of-good-eye<\/p>\n

Copy and paste this selection to a new layer so you can edit it.<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/em> Click Ctrl+C (PC) or Cmd+C (Mac) to copy the selection and then Ctrl+V (PC) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste the copy back into Photoshop.<\/p>\n

\"free-transform-flip-horizontal<\/p>\n

Step 6:<\/em> Click Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal to flip your copied selection to mirror the other eye.<\/p>\n

\"drag<\/p>\n

Use the Selection Tool by using the \u201cV\u201d hotkey, and drag your selection over.<\/p>\n

Step 8:<\/em> Drag the selection so it lines up over the eye that\u2019s affected by glare.<\/p>\n

\"place-new-eye<\/p>\n

Step 9:<\/em> Place the copied eye over the glared eye and click Ctr+T (PC) or Cmd+T (Mac) to Free Transform the layer.<\/p>\n

\"line<\/p>\n

Hold your mouse over one of the Free Transform box corners to rotate it just right. This is the most important step!<\/p>\n

Step 10:<\/em> Rotate the layer so it lines up perfectly with the eye underneath.<\/p>\n

\"eraser<\/p>\n

When blending the layer into the old, be sure not to erase too much over the glare or it will defeat the purpose.<\/p>\n

Step 11:<\/em> Select the Eraser Tool and set the Opacity to around 33%. Then gently erase the lines of the new layer to blend it in with the original photo underneath.<\/p>\n

\"glasses<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re done, you should have something like the above photo. As you can see, that annoying green glare from the camera flash is gone. Here\u2019s a comparison so you can see the before and after of the original pictures.<\/p>\n
