Remove reflections

[Khun Sam]

Hi,

I am a newby with Photoshop and LR.

Could anybody give me a hint how to remove the reflections on the 3 upper stairs of the attached picture?

Many Thanks

Welcome to RetouchPro!
There are many ways to eliminate the reflections and they include the clone stamp, the healing brush, the patch tool, curves, dodge/burn, and some channel mixing. HOWEVER, I always look for speed. So, if you have Photoshop CS5, the Content Aware Fill did the trick in 5 secs (ok maybe it took 10 secs)
You can see you still need a little clean up on the left side but you can do that with copy/paste or the clone tool.

Hi Khun Sam

One way may be to use the clone tool as I did in this version. There are of course many other ways to accomplish the same

Tony, that's ok, you did a neater job. The Content Aware Fill does a pretty good job but with the amount of post cloning required, direct use of the clone tool is probably faster.
