    To celebrate our golden wedding we took a once in a lifetime trip over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter, fantastic.
    However most shots taken from within the helicopter have picked up reflections from the wnidshield. Any hints please on how to get rid of them in photoshop.
    All help appreciated
    Regards, Paul.

    Probably best if you upload one here for us to have a look at.

    Doesn't work after the fact, does it - no good in post processing, only in shooting.

    Well, you can't take the Grand Canyon with you, but a polarising filter is actually quite easy to take! Smile

    Paul - I am no expert but I recon the reflections here are too extensive to salvage. I know it is of no help, but the guys above are right and prevention is better than cure. Personally, I find getting the front of the lens as close the the glass as possible helps reduce the reflections. Even better is the use of a rubber lens hood - when pressed against glass it gives to allow for some curvature - aim to get the lens hood to touch the glass all the way around. Like I say - its a bugger of a tip now you are back, but put it down to a lesson learned and keep the pics as a help to retain a wonderful trip in your memory.

    Try using the burn tool or the adjustment brush, but whether it works I don't know, as the reflections are strong.

    In Photoshop, I'd create a multiple selection containing only the reflections and I'd feather those slightly then try levels adjustment on those areas. There are plenty of tutorial videos on selection / masking and also on levels.

    Most frustrating, this is quite a common when shooting through glass.

    I'm sure that I have seen, either an advert for, or a review about a sort of flexible lenshood type of a thing. The idea being that it is held up against the glass, thus avoiding any chance of refections 'spoiling' the image.

    I can't remember where I saw it, can anyone out there help, especially if you have any experience using one?

    Regards
