Newbie question - flash overexposure

[snuif]

Hihah

First of all I like to say "HI" to all of you. I have been doing lots of reading on the forum and tried some tuts for use in photoshop. I have shot some photo's of some products we have and now there is some glitch you can see in the image of the product i would like to get ride of. Check the attachment. Any idea how i can get ride of that glitch due to the flash of the camera. I have tried the patch tool but i dont think thats the proper way to go. Any ideas?

Regards,

Rik

If possible to retake the photo you would want to keep the flash either more to the left or to the right of the product at about a 45 degree angle.

Look up "family of angles" for a guide. If a reshoot isn't possible, a very low opacity (10%) and clone tool, very soft brush to reduce the shine a bit.

@bgouler Thanks for the reply.

I have been doing some cloning but i dont like the effect. The texture of the banana is pulled of its proportion. I have seen some tuts where people replace certain sections going to have that a try as well. Once i have some examples to show i will post them. In the meantime i think it might be wise to shoot some new photo's under a different angle. Thanks for the help.

I tried to clone the highlights, using the clone source options.
