About the Image(s)

This scene was taken from the restaurant on the top of the Prudential Tower in Boston. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me remove the window glare. Thank you!

First, there is a feature in Photoshop 2025 that does a pretty good job of eliminating window glare/reflections. It's just a nightmare (in my opinion) to find and use. You may need to go to You-Tube to find an instructional video. Good luck. You are a very good photographer and when I saw your picture, I had to ask why you took a picture with a HUGE post smack-dab in the middle of the image. Maybe it wasn't possible, but if you had moved closer to the window you might have eliminated both the glare and the distracting post. It's true that most window glass is NOT optical glass so there would have been some distortion. But, I think the trade-off would have been a good deal. I rarely carry my CP filters with me so that option might be unrealistic. Just food for thought for later situations.   Posted: 05/09/2025 18:48:48

I like the split image and how the windows frame the interesting perspective and view. For me, the music stands are are distracting. I also cropped, increased the contrast and flipped it.   Posted: 05/11/2025 01:39:17
