About the Image(s)

Shot through a museum glass. A bit of Americana of root beer mugs on the car window tray.
Cropped and brightened. Not sure what to do about the glass reflection going across the shot.

I agree with you. Something needs to be done about the reflection. Maybe if you burn it to darken it, it would help, but not really sure.   Posted: 05/09/2023 09:36:24

Reminds me of the drive-in A & W where they had a barrel on thetop of the restaurant, and you bring the tray to the car. I think the edge of the tray needs darkening, and eliminate the white under the tray.   Posted: 05/11/2023 16:13:32

Is this closer to what you want? I darkened the edge of the tray by using a dodge and burn layer (new layer, 80%, brush, use black or X to switch). Then I used the content aware very messily - you have time to correct it - to get rid of the white under the tray. Then I used the clone stamp to replicate the wood grain and with the shift +click to make straight lines. I did the same to get rid of the reflection above the tray. This is just a quick example of how..   Posted: 05/11/2023 16:37:55

Thanks for your work. It still has that bright strip across it. It's just a bad photo. If I were to take it again, I'd press the lens directly onto the glass window. But alas, the moment has past.
Thak you for your efforts.   Posted: 05/22/2023 08:23:08

Nice idea. Would suggest cropping to just the glasses, even if all of them cannot be shown in full.   Posted: 05/22/2023 12:42:20

Some pretty cool reflections in the glasses. However the bright strip is a bit of distraction.   Posted: 05/22/2023 20:32:14

I like your idea, and I like Lauren's modifications, though I still feel that the bright reflection is a major distraction.   Posted: 05/23/2023 01:50:17

I think i would crop all the stuff below the tray. And then play with the light. Perhaps remove the brown blob on the right   Posted: 05/24/2023 07:55:16
