    Eliminate Window Reflections?
    I am processing some good shots I took through a plane window (probably Plexiglas). Though not super evident, I'm seeing a lot of reflections and am looking for a way to eliminate them. Ideas?

    See the images below: the first is an example shot, and the second the same image but w/ the problem areas highlighted.

    I selected the area with the lasso, used the blend-if slider to exclude as much of the white clouds as practical, and applied a Surface Blur. Radius 44 pixels, Threshold 255 levels (max):

    It lost some definition in the clouds, but for clouds I would consider it acceptable. You can stil see a bit of separation in the blues just above the mountain tops- these parts weren't part of the selection. If you to put more than the 30 seconds or so that I put into it, you'd probably get better results,:p

    Hope this helps GB,

    Kicks butt, Joe! Thanks and I will try that at home. I have a lot of plane shots, some quite good.
