Eye glare

[Deinna]

This is not the most technical image... I was practicing with my daughter and her best friend. Do you have a tutorial on how to remove the light glare in eyes? Or a good class for beginners Photoshop class? Edited image and SOOC Image attached.

Are you referring to the fact that her right eye (our left) has two catchlights in it instead of one?

[Deinna]

Yes, I feel like it's distracting.

 

[Damien Symonds]

Yep, we can do this.  Can you take a close crop of her face for me?

[Deinna]

Is this what you were looking for?

Here's a file for you to download and see

First, roughly clone the other eye across, then mask it more accurately.  More information here.

The other eye is a bit lighter, so the cloned area will need to be darkened a bit.  So add a dodge and burn layer, and clip it (Ctrl Alt G) to the cloned layer, then burn as needed.  More information here.

Thank you!

Let me know how it goes for you.
