Believe dirty lens caused FLARE problem.

A friend of mine sent a large number of photos and most had flare problems, particularly any with a white item, such as attached white table.

Any way to fix these problem areas?

I used primarily curves adjustments with 2 points reference with masking on many different areas.

With a level adjustment + masking
