Hi, I recently bought a Kood CPL filter, I got the chance to use it at the weekend, on a few of my shots i have noticed some reflections on the windscreens and windows that i am not happy with.

I am using Photoshop CS2 and Coral paintshop Pro 10 for my post processing, is there anything that i can do in either of these programs to try and get rid of the reflections ( if possible ) without ruining the images?

Any advice or help on why this has happened and how to put it right would be much appreciated.

Thanks :)

Here is an example of what has happened on the glass.

Occasionally I take a CP with me. Usually I'll look at the car, rotate the filter, & then put it back in my pocket. For me, it's better to MOVE MY FEET! (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=536323), than to use a CP because I want reflections to define the contour of the car & I find that when I remove the bad reflections, & also lose some of the good ones. Polarizers usually make the late model headlight plastic covers show a "rainbow", and...

If you used a tripod, you could have taken two shots (or more) at different CP rotations & then tried to blend in the best parts of them into one good image. PS with Masks would work well for that:
