Reflection Removal in Photoshop

[GvilleRick]

I saw a video on the newest features in the Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop and thought I would revisit some photos from a trip to the Memphis Zoo in January. There were some photos that I kept despite problems with reflections from the glass. I ran these three through to see how the Reflection Removal feature would work.

This one I almost cropped more to remove the heavy reflections in the bottom third.

• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 191.0 mm
• ƒ/2.8
• 1/250 sec
• ISO 100

The removal worked really well I thought.

• ILCE-7RM5
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 191.0 mm
• ƒ/2.8
• 1/250 sec
• ISO 100

I was curious about how it might work on this one since it's really not a reflection but rather the wires of the fencing.

• ILCE-7RM5
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 200.0 mm
• ƒ/2.8
• 1/1250 sec
• ISO 160

It really did pretty well removing the distraction on the monkeys and not so much on the sky. It would be pretty easy to work on that.

• ILCE-7RM5
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 200.0 mm
• ƒ/2.8
• 1/1250 sec
• ISO 160

After running the original photo through dehaze I was able to get a pretty good image but still had a little reflection.

• ILCE-7RM5
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 200.0 mm
• ƒ/2.8
• 1/250 sec
• ISO 6400

The removal worked well even at the most basic level.

• ILCE-7RM5
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 200.0 mm
• ƒ/2.8
• 1/250 sec
