    Window Reflection Help

    I'm looking for a bit of advice, probably something incredibly easy and basic but I'm fairly new to Photoshop

    I'm doing a bit of work for a company who have requested white out images of some of our products, cutting out the image and placing it on a white background is perfectly fine

    Now they've rejected previous images I've sent due to refelction issues

    I've attached one of the images in question below - how do I go about removing the reflection of the fence panels on the window, but keep it as natural looking as possible - it's for quite a large company so they're very finite in the details of the images they recieve - I've tried some of the blur filters but it just looks so fake

    Thanks for any help that can be offered

    Simon

    Re: Window Reflection Help

    Cant you just blacken out the windows more. otherwise it will be a case of masking in another set of windows without reflection. Or cloning in the back wall of the shed as it would appear if the feflection was not there and adjusting opacity but it does not really correct the problem and could make it worse if you dont do it properly. The question you really should be asking yourself how much time and effort are you prepared to put into fixing these images. verses just taking new 1s without reflection.

    I did consider masking the backing panels and changing the opacity

    Worst I can do is send them off with slighly darkened windows, if that gets rejected then I'll have to put a bit of work into it

    well it is easy to google a sheet of glass and mask it in and then you could copy the mask over to the layer of back panels but that is fine for a few images but if you have a lot to do then you will want to aske for a payrise

    sometimes client expect the impossible.
    you could try copying the first window on the left into the other windows.

    (or just take another photo without the windows in)

    I'd probably try something like this.
