YES!! I would use it every day for my real estate photography. Bathroom mirrors, glass shower enclosures, glass tabletops, TVs, microwave and oven doors, shiny kitchen thingies. I would also use it when photographing art under glass. I REALLY really hope it's part of my LRC soon.
There's an app I have (on Android) called PhotoScan. It does exactly that and works incredibly well. It involves taking multiple photos from different angles and then they are essentially stitched together in a final image. It's remarkable. But PhotoScan is clearly different than this glare removal demonstration from Adobe...that is truly voodoo stuff!
I suspect that would actually be a relatively easy task for the algorithm, as the elements that need to be kept are more obvious and predictable. @@FranHoganPanama
I need this right now. I am in Rome taking a tour in a bus. Lots of reflections taking photos through the bus windows. I could really use this tool. I hope it makes it into LRC this afternoon!
I don't see how any new feature can be looked on as anything other than positive. Once the basic code is there the boffins always make it better and better in each update of the software. Think of how far this type of software has come in a relatively short space of time. Whether you use it that much or not doesn't matter. It's another tool in your toolbox. For subscription people like me who are just learning I don't watch any tutorials that are more than a couple of years old because they're probably outdated. I say great work Adobe engineers again.👏
I often take cruises around the world. Many times, cruise passengers are given tours via a bus. I find that when I take photos I get reflections from inside the bus. This tool would be an amazing way to get rid of those unwanted reflections. Thanks for sharing the video!
Wow. I would definitely use this feature. We recently were seated by a window while having dinner in a restaurant. The waiter took our picture. Unfortunately, the inside of the restaurant was reflected upon the window. I made a selection with lasso tool, then used Generative Fill; the reflections were gone.
This feature would be amazing! I hope Adobe brings it out. I have so many beautiful pics taken of the city through my window but they are ruined because of reflections. Fingers crossed.
WOW!!! THAT IS AMAZING... Just 2 days ago i ran across a photo i took back in 2015 (it was at the Arlington Cemetery) i took the photo from a car that i had the window up and got a big glare of the sun... so i went into photoshop and used the Eraser tool and i got a great result from that itself... but it wasn't has extreme as some of the photos that was displayed in this video... I wish i can send you the photo so you can see how it came out...i was pretty amaze with the results,,, but of course i also made some other changes to it as well... just playing around with it lol... but this could help in many different situations that cant be fixed that easily... they need to make this happen... 🤘
Very interesting, worth trying the new add-on in Lightroom. Until today, in the difficult problems of metering with highlights and shadows of reflection into shiny objects, I used a polarizing filter. The remaining problem is to take out a reflex of light from the lens of glasses.
Absolutely would love this. I collect old family photographs that I have taken a picture of, but many times they were in a frame behind glass, mounted on a wall, and the light would be just terrible. Sometimes those photographs could not be removed from the wall or the frame. So I have many that I have piddled with, trying to eliminate the reflection but only end up frustrated. So YES ADOBE, please put this into a release.
This is pretty amazing. It's hard for me to believe that this won't make it into production. I would love to see it taken even further in the future and perhaps let you remove reflections from a specified object, lets say sunglass lenses or other surfaces. The only fear I have with tools like this is while it does make us all more productive, I want to make sure I'm still trying my best to capture the best photo possible rather than being lazy knowing that AI can clean up errors.
I would use this in a heartbeat! My wife and I travel a lot, and getting rid of reflections from windows in airplanes, tour buses, and ships would be a godsend!
I can see the potential of a feature like this when the subject who wears glasses has all those reflections or glare on them. This could be very useful.
Yes, and I suspect that would actually be a relatively easy task for the algorithm, as the elements that need to be kept are more obvious and predictable.
This would be fantastic! I do some scenic traveling by motorcoach and stuggle to get decent shots thought the windows. This feature would open a whole string on new possibiites.
Great technology, but also a bit gimmicky. I'm sure there are people for who this is a game changer, but if you really start to look at the daily use of this I struggle to see how many workflows would actually change. But as an added feature in the tool box, this is one of those that looks like magic, so I can see why they want to push it. So amazing work by the technicians who made this work, and I'd love to fool around with this tool.
I would love it. I am doing photo processing now where I shot through plexiglass of a model train display. OMG the reflections are really bad. Right now I am trying to use photoshop with generative fill and having so so luck.
WTF! 😱 My dream... that picture of the girl covered in reflections, where the missing part of the picture, covered by reflections, is reconstructed perfectly (?), is pure magic! This is a "game changer" feature, literally! Let's hope it won't take long before Adobe will release this feature for everyone.
I don't take that many photos affected by reflections in that manner, but wow. This would be a great feature for so many photographers. As someone else said, having an amount slider would be great and save you from needing to take the image and the saved reflection into Photoshop. I can imagine there were would situation that having it available under masking would be beneficial. If it works that great pre-release, I can't wait to see what it's like when they do actually release it to us.
My jaw literally hit the floor on this one Colin. I remember all too well in the days before PS, having to do this the really old analog way. And even then? hit or miss.
This is great. Especially for quick shots with an IPhone and of course travel shots. Also great when visiting a friend and taking a picture of a glass framed picture.
I would use this. Especially for photos taken in Switzerland from a train. Beautiful scenery diminished by reflections from the interior lighting. I hope they will add this to Lightroom.
This is pretty incredible, I would like them to go one step further and add a slider as well so you could either remove the reflection entirely or tone it right down, perhaps you are going for a particular look, you could choose the strength level of the reflection.
Would be an awesome feature and would love to see it into production as on car trips when I am a passenger I like to take photos from with in the car through the windshield. Colin keep up the fantastic work, many thanks from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I can remember a job I had many years ago photographing a number of shop window displays. Even standing well back with a long lens the reflections were a problem. My goodness how things are changing.
Wow That would so useful when shooting NHL hockey. Shooting through the port has it's limitations. I would shoot through the glass more often as long as it doesn't add too much processing time to an image.
I'd use it to salvage some shots that are otherwise useless, but the results tend to look overly contrasty to my eye, over-darkened and simplified to almost bordering on AI-generated... which they are. Once the tool has matured, I'm sure it'll be able to render images that look more natural and don't have the reflections.
Thank you. I was just thinking about this issue this morning and your video popped up. Now the days are getting shorter I am having to rely on artificial lights - great, with one exception. I make 2d paintings for a living and sometimes the lights create horrible glare on the painted surface which is intensified in my photographic documentation where it is essential to have the painting match 1:1 in terms of detail and colour. Obviously, the best solution is to set up so the glare is minimised - if this is not possible, I can fix this with multiple layers of manual reworking, which is great for flat colour and take a long time to do and can be tricky. It would be great to see if there is a solution for eliminating the glare/reflections from complex parts of the painting without loosing the detail.
I used the blur feature on a wedding photo (my grandsons wedding not my photo) because photog clipped the end of wedding dress, extended canvas and blurred to make the low res look same across the photo
Yes I would use it but I have deleted many photos like this except where I really wanted the photo. I usually use my phone as close to the glass as possible but still have many photos this would enhance.
Normally much of this could be reduced by using a circular polarizer. But no doubt this will enhance so many otherwise unusable images. A bane to the anti-post-processing crowd.
I definately would use this feature. There are so many great night photo opportunities totally ruined by the ridiculous use of coloured lights splashed all over the glass for reasons I will never understand. This feature would allow the photographer to take great photos in spite of such unecessary light reflection.
I used generative fill to remove the reflections in my specs. A side effect was that it offered to do weird stuff to my eyes. This would be much better.
To heck with doing it in Lightroom and Photoshop. Let’s do that in the camera. Right now it’s called a polarizer and must be attached outside the lens, but maybe this could be put in the camera-an electronic polarizer. Better chance for doing it in a phone camera, though.
I noticed that the shadows and higlights, particularly the shadows, appeared in your video to have lost detail. Is that an artifact in the video, or did it also appear that way in the presentation?
YES!! I would use it every day for my real estate photography. Bathroom mirrors, glass shower enclosures, glass tabletops, TVs, microwave and oven doors, shiny kitchen thingies. I would also use it when photographing art under glass. I REALLY really hope it's part of my LRC soon.
I'd love this for instantly removing glare from glasses in portraits.
There's an app I have (on Android) called PhotoScan. It does exactly that and works incredibly well. It involves taking multiple photos from different angles and then they are essentially stitched together in a final image. It's remarkable. But PhotoScan is clearly different than this glare removal demonstration from Adobe...that is truly voodoo stuff!
yes! very helpful in that area.
I suspect that would actually be a relatively easy task for the algorithm, as the elements that need to be kept are more obvious and predictable. @@FranHoganPanama
Piximperfect has a nice tutorial for that
I need this right now. I am in Rome taking a tour in a bus. Lots of reflections taking photos through the bus windows. I could really use this tool. I hope it makes it into LRC this afternoon!
Yeah, I could use it too
Absolutely. Real estate photography and travel photography are both areas where I'd apply this tech often.
A great idea to show us some sneaks! Thank you. Hope this one definitely makes it to product.
I don't see how any new feature can be looked on as anything other than positive. Once the basic code is there the boffins always make it better and better in each update of the software.

YES! I really need this. Have they released it yet (as of June 1 2024)?

I could use this tool today!! I'm editing a job today with major league reflection issues.
Very interesting, worth trying the new add-on in Lightroom.
Until today, in the difficult problems of metering with highlights and shadows of reflection into shiny objects, I used a polarizing filter.
The remaining problem is to take out a reflex of light from the lens of glasses.
This would be awesome. Just got back from a bus tour and took many shots that were pretty much trash because of the reflections. Game changer!
Oh yes. I’d find this very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely would love this. I collect old family photographs that I have taken a picture of, but many times they were in a frame behind glass, mounted on a wall, and the light would be just terrible.

I would use this in a heartbeat! My wife and I travel a lot, and getting rid of reflections from windows in airplanes, tour buses, and ships would be a godsend!
Hell yeah, I'd use it. I bet it's good for removing eye glass problems.
Windows are everywhere in our environment and sometimes a polarizer filter just won't cut it. This is a useful feature that we would utilize often.
I NEED this feature!
Absolutely! I have one image that has been frustrating me and this would fix it in a heartbeat!
I can see the potential of a feature like this when the subject who wears glasses has all those reflections or glare on them. This could be very useful.
Yes, and I suspect that would actually be a relatively easy task for the algorithm, as the elements that need to be kept are more obvious and predictable.
I can not wait for this feature since I am shooting through windows all the time when I am on a tour. Thank you for showing this
I would absolutely use the reflections tool! Bring it on!
This would be fantastic! I do some scenic traveling by motorcoach and stuggle to get decent shots thought the windows. This feature would open a whole string on new possibiites.
Great technology, but also a bit gimmicky. I'm sure there are people for who this is a game changer, but if you really start to look at the daily use of this I struggle to see how many workflows would actually change.

So amazing work by the technicians who made this work, and I'd love to fool around with this tool.
Would definitely use this feature! Travel a lot and take many pictures through windows as it may be the only option. Sooner the better!!
Thanks for posting this Colin. Yes I`d welcome this as an addition to LRC. I have lots of photos in my library that could benefit from this.
I would definitely like this it would be a game changer 😮
I would love it. I am doing photo processing now where I shot through plexiglass of a model train display. OMG the reflections are really bad. Right now I am trying to use photoshop with generative fill and having so so luck.

Use it? Absolutely!!
My jaw literally hit the floor on this one Colin. I remember all too well in the days before PS, having to do this the really old analog way. And even then? hit or miss.
Yeah so easy with this
Definitely use it! I have photos from Alaska, where the only way to take it was through a window!
This is great. Especially for quick shots with an IPhone and of course travel shots. Also great when visiting a friend and taking a picture of a glass framed picture.
Very interesting, so YES off course I would use this tool in Lightroom.
I would use this. Especially for photos taken in Switzerland from a train. Beautiful scenery diminished by reflections from the interior lighting. I hope they will add this to Lightroom.
This is pretty incredible, I would like them to go one step further and add a slider as well so you could either remove the reflection entirely or tone it right down, perhaps you are going for a particular look, you could choose the strength level of the reflection.
Once you have the reflection as a separate layer you can just use opacity and such.
I could definitely use this feature. Hope it gets into Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Love your site.
More like a magic show. Anxious to try it!
Would be extremely useful for my interior work
Yep, I could use that. Not on a daily basis, but I have images that would benefit.
This would be so awesome for getting rid of eyeglass glare too!! I tried to fix someone's photo today using generative fill and it couldn't do it.
Would be an awesome feature and would love to see it into production as on car trips when I am a passenger I like to take photos from with in the car through the windshield. Colin keep up the fantastic work, many thanks from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Wow That would so useful when shooting NHL hockey. Shooting through the port has it's limitations. I would shoot through the glass more often as long as it doesn't add too much processing time to an image.
Thanks for sharing. That would be a definite tool in my toolbox. I have a ULH lens hood which works but isn't foolproof. Let's hope we see this soon.
Absolutely fantastic feature I think everyone would use! Great video, Colin!
Wow. I would definitely use this feature
I'd use it to salvage some shots that are otherwise useless, but the results tend to look overly contrasty to my eye, over-darkened and simplified to almost bordering on AI-generated... which they are. Once the tool has matured, I'm sure it'll be able to render images that look more natural and don't have the reflections.
So many photos I have junked because of reflections. Such a useful tool.
wow!! I would use it.
OMG I have so many photos I could use this on! Hope it comes soon!

Currently dealing with this issue of pictures out a moving 4x4 on Safari. Would love this feature.
Yes; thank you very much.
Seems awesome
Oh yes, I would definitely use this. Thanks for sharing!
Anytime
This addition wold be awsome
What an amazing tool. I would certainly use it.
Thank you for telling us about this. We live in interesting times!
Very cool, would be great for photographing interiors if the fill clean enough.
I can wait when this tool is launched.
I used the blur feature on a wedding photo (my grandsons wedding not my photo) because photog clipped the end of wedding dress, extended canvas and blurred to make the low res look same across the photo
Yes I would use it but I have deleted many photos like this except where I really wanted the photo. I usually use my phone as close to the glass as possible but still have many photos this would enhance.
Would use it, wonder if it works with glass and bottles
Perfect for Real Estate photography
Remarkable, thanx for the looksee into the near future.
I would use this for product shots. It'd save heaps of time using flags etc. to reduce reflections.
Hell Yes I need this
I would love it! Thank you!
Beyond useful.
I think it is
Looks and sounds amazing thank you
It almost solves the problems without polarizer filter; Those REFLECTIONS are truly difficult to move in post!
Normally much of this could be reduced by using a circular polarizer. But no doubt this will enhance so many otherwise unusable images. A bane to the anti-post-processing crowd.
Brilliant Colin. Thank you for sharing. Hope it makes it into PS.
Me too
WOW!!!! YES Please❣️
Yes
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support!
Pretty awesome
Absolutely ! It's a must to have.... NOW WHEN ;)
As I see it, this would be very useful when getting light (sun) flare in the lens.
I definately would use this feature. There are so many great night photo opportunities totally ruined by the ridiculous use of coloured lights splashed all over the glass for reasons I will never understand. This feature would allow the photographer to take great photos in spite of such unecessary light reflection.
Impressive
This would be great for weather photography, whether you're shooting from inside a car or a structure.
Wow! Lens flare is also a reflection - wonder if that also can be removed?
What? The store window demo is crazy.
I just like saying the words game changer!
Yes.
I used generative fill to remove the reflections in my specs. A side effect was that it offered to do weird stuff to my eyes.
This would be much better.
To heck with doing it in Lightroom and Photoshop. Let’s do that in the camera. Right now it’s called a polarizer and must be attached outside the lens, but maybe this could be put in the camera-an electronic polarizer. Better chance for doing it in a phone camera, though.
What a cool feature! At last, you can create mirror photos without getting in the picture yourself!
Incredible!
Very interesting! Could be somewhat of a game changer for many. Remember though, “the proof is in the pudding.”
Awesome
zeker ik zou het zeker gebruiken heb nog wel foto's🤓
Love it!
I noticed that the shadows and higlights, particularly the shadows, appeared in your video to have lost detail. Is that an artifact in the video, or did it also appear that way in the presentation?
