Hey guys. Which editing method would you recommend I use to remove the smudges and finger prints on the mirror in this shot?

You can try cloning it out but that is going to be tough. You might have better luck getting another picture from the bid day and putting that in the mirror.

15 minutes with a mask and the clone/heal tool.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Cheat. Nicholas Cage/John Travolta style.

Take another picture of the bride from the front you already have, darken it, paste it into the mirror. What does the viewer know?

It can be done in Photoshop, but it'll look unnatural. Since this is your focal point in the image, heavy post work will probably never meet your seal of approval.

do u need the image in color? i played around with it in grayscale and that seems to be a bit easier to work with... the red channel has the least smudges.

I don't need it in color, but it would be nice. ;)

Clone/heal tool-you did a very good job.
