Eyeglass Refraction repair!?

[Kayleigh]

HI Damien, I was wondering, how do I fix the distortion on his camera left eye from the eyeglasses. This is a clients senior yearbook photo and I was trying to avoid lens reflection and completely missed what I did capture!! And, of course this is the one mom picked...only one with his glasses on! Is this fixable? 

[Damien Symonds]

Just go to my website and search for "glasses".  It should be the first hit.

[Damien Symonds]

Do you think his eyes need to change size?  Or would it be enough just to fix the bit at the left-hand edge?

[Kayleigh]

I'm not sure. Do you think they should be larger? I don't want him to look at his photo and think my eyes are not right. The eyes are the first thing people notice that has been changed in a photo. Through experience!   But, thank you for directing me to the spot to fix the problem. Your sharpening class was awesome by the way!!

 

[Damien Symonds]

Oh gosh, I don't know!!!!!

I'd be inclined to leave them at the size they are, and just clone down that side area.

It won't be easy, though

[Kayleigh]

Hit has been a while but, i thought I would post my finished photo. I can't say enough about the help I have received from your site!!  I will be signing up for the skin class soon. Thank you for taking the time to teach all that you do!

Oh wow, that looks excellent!

[Kayleigh]

Thank you! I really appreciate your saying that! Can I take your skin class with out taking the raw class? 

[Damien Symonds]

No.

[Kayleigh]

Is there a test you can give if someone believes they know the ACR? So we could avoid paying for a class unnecessarily? Just wondering. 

 

[Damien Symonds]

No.

Oh my, I just took a look at your portfolio.

No.
