crosshair cursor just to the right of my brush cursor. That’s the area I sampled from (Option-clicked [PC: Alt-clicked] on) to clone over my glow. If your
glow is wider than just along the edge, you’ll use this same technique, but with a larger brush, and you won’t sample as close to the edge as I did here—
you’ll need to sample outside the area where you see the glow. That’s it.

Brush Tool & Layer Masking: Fixing Reflections in Glasses
I get more requests for how to fix this problem than probably all the rest combined. The reason is, it’s so darn hard to fix. If you’re lucky, you get to spend
an hour or more desperately cloning, and in many cases, you’re just stuck with it. However, if you’re smart, you’ll invest an extra 30 seconds while
shooting to take one shot with the glasses off (or ideally, one “glasses off” shot for each new pose). Do that, and Photoshop will make this fix absolutely
simple. If this sounds like a pain, then you’ve never spent an hour desperately cloning away a reflection.
Step One:
Before we get into this, be sure to read the short intro above first, or you’ll wonder what’s going on in Step Two. Okay, here’s a photo of our subject with
her glasses on and you can see the reflections in them (pretty bad on the right side, not quite as bad on the left, but they definitely need fixing). The ideal
situation is to tell your subject that after you take a shot, they need to freeze for just a moment while you (or a friend, assistant, etc.) walk over and remove
the glasses (that way, they don’t change their pose, which they absolutely will if they take them off themselves), and then take a second shot. That’s what I
did here (I took the first shot, an assistant took off her glasses, and I took the second shot. Took all of 10 seconds).
