Best way to remove glare from glasses

I ended up having a picture take with a point and shoot camera.  What would be the best way to remove or at least look presentable to remove the glare from the glasses from one side?  It is bad but I want this picture to be as good as I can get it. 

First I did Juergen's method and merged down the two layers.
Now to improve the lighting...
1. Add a Level adjustment layer. These were the original Levels settings:
2. I moved the sliders like this to lighten the whole picture.
3. I went one step further to lighten the background. Added another Levels and moved the middle slider left. This however also lightened the men further which I did not want to do, so on the layer's mask I painted over the men with black to mask out that portion of the Levels adjustment and reveal the previous Levels adjustment.
Rather than painting black you can select the men and on the mask fill the selection with black. In either case if you revealed too much or too little of the first Levels layer you can fine-tune the mask by painting black or white as needed.

  • What is the best way to remove footage from the middle of a clip?

    What is the best way to remove unwanted footage from the middle of a clip? I have a clip that I've trimmed from the start and finsih, but I need to remove "boring" footage from inbetween.

    Thank you for your replies. I tried the blade tool followed by select and delete but it did not seem very precise. I had better success with this aproach at the ends rather than in the middle. I watched a tutorial video on using the precision editor, but the video was small so I had a difficult time following where the person clicked, etc. Any info on using the precision editor would be greatly appreciated. I need to make precise cuts to avoid creating unatural motion for the subject. So far, close but no cigar.

  • Best way to remove dust from a MacPro

    what is the best way to clean the inside of a Macpro. When I go inside to remove or update components there is considerable dust. In the past I have grounded my self and gently wipe some of the areas with a light cloth to remove dust. There are areas on the mother board I would like to clean off also would canned air be ok.
    Thank you
    Dick

    www.amazon.com/Metro-Vacuum-ED500-500-Watt-Electric/dp/B001J4ZOAW/
    My guess though is any thing that was loose or can be loosened (cable connection somewhere?) can be, would be the only thing to watch out for. Less on Mac Pro than on my PCs with fans and clips for power or an SATA cable that could slide off.
    I don't know what mac model you have but DIMMs do have a tendency like any electronic part to attract and hold onto dust.
    The old G5s were notorious for how much dust could build up down inside those systems and get empacked. And somehow still work but not as well.
    If you see temperature sensors that don't look normal, or the fans seem to be working when you aren't doing anything, that would then be a reason to take action. Otherwise, not sure if more harm than needed good.

  • Best Way to Remove Server from Active Directory

    I was wondering the best practice to remove a server from AD according to Microsoft.  
    Option 1 :
    Login to server and take it off the domain and put it into a workgroup
    Then login to AD and make sure it is removed
    Confirm removal from DNS
    Option 2 :
    Login to Domain Server and manually remove
    Confirm removal from DNS
    Thanks
    Also the servers are running Windows 2008 R2

    So if its just a file server, I would just go with option 1 to ensure the cleanest removal from Active Directory?
    What would happen if I just removed it from Active Directory after powering it down?  Still a clean result?  Or is it considered best practice to take the server off the domain from the server then power it down and then remove from Active Directory?
     Please let me know and also if you want me to clarify.
    I am not sure if I understood you correctly but if you just right click the computer object in Active Directory and delete it you have to manually delete the DNS records as well or wait for scavenging period to delete the outdated DNS records.

  • Best way of removing color from image

    Hey Adobe Community,
    I'm Aaron. I have this image here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zjpjq5mf8t02pn9/chimera1-Recovered.jpg
    What I'm trying to do is create an outline for a pattern, something like the hot dog in the pattern here: https://m1.behance.net/rendition/modules/59556275/disp/36d76e9e0f33274e8a75ea77fd69b731.jp g
    Anyone know if this is possible and what is the best way of doing it? I'd like to keep the outline throughout the whole design of the chimera. Doesn't matter how tedious , I just need some ideas.

    I know of no good way to do this in Photoshop.
    The quickest way I know is to place the original photo in Illustrator, reduce the opacity of it somewhat, and use the pen tool on another layer to draw what you want. Depending on the nature of the image, it can be tedious, but you don't mind that.  :+)
    Good luck.

  • Best way to remove scratches from iPhone 6?

    I'm one picky bugger. I had to return my iPhone 6 and get a replacement from the store and unfortunately, there's a small scratch on the screen. I've been there 2 times and it's 1 hour away...and I think everyone will think I'm absolutely bonkers to want to replace the entire phone due to a scratch that you can only see if the light shines on the phone a certain way lol.
    Anyway, I'm looking for any solution to fixing a really small glass scratch on my phone. I've seen some reports of optical cloths but I can't seem to find any place that has 'em.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brandon Q.

    hi i too had this problem but mines was a small scratch on the iphone 6 body,
    to remove it i used baby powder and water to make a light paste and using a small brush apply to area leave for 5-10 mins and wipe off
    i can barely see it but it worked better than i though

  • Best way to remove background from b&w image

    Hello,
    I work a lot with black en white images from scanning electron microscopes. Prior to publication, I usually make the background completely black so the subject stand out more. What is the best approach to extract your subject from the (sometimes cluttered) background? Due to the lack of color traditional methods are not very useful.
    Thanks,
    Bart

    Changing levels and contrast does not work for me as the subject loses too much quality. I usually use a tablet and remove the background manually but because of all the little hairs on the subject this is going to be a tedious task and I have to do a few dozen.
    Anyway, if there's no quick fix than I'll have to rely on the tablet anyway.
    Thank you guys for your input!

  • Best way to remove stuff from a list

    say i got an array list and i want to remove all objects with some value. whats the cleanest way to code this?
    Thanks

    you could try a ListIterator, that allows modification during iteration
    ListIterator<Integer> listIterator = list.listIterator();
    while (listIterator.hasNext()) {
        Integer i = listIterator.next();
        if (i == 7)
            listIterator.remove();
    }

  • What is the best way to remove files from the hard drive?

    I'm donating one of my computers, and there are certain sensitive files (bank records, etc.) I need to remove. I want them completely removed to the point it's like they never existed, so any hard drive recovery tools can never find them.

    Then you will have to get a replacement set from Apple.
    Since the DVD are your license to OS X they really should be included with the Mac when you sell it.

  • Best way to remove photos from iPhone camera roll

    what is the simplest method for removing a LOT of photos from my iPhone 5S camera roll. I am trying not to remove them one at a time.

    So, I am a bit confused.  But, thank you for being succinct.  I appreciate that very much!
    1.  I have imported them to Aperture; so they are on my iMac.
    2. What I do not exactly understand is your next instruction: "your computer should read your iphone as a camera, you can navigate to the folders that contain the picture in your camera roll and select all and delete."
    Could you walk me through that, please?  Just a tiny bit more explaining, and I think I will catch on!
    Many thanks!
