Is there a good way to remove glare from glasses in Photoshop CS2? Thanks!

  I would just play around with the clone tool. The best thing to do is just avoid it in the first place. One way that I know of is just take the lenses out.

  I took a big family portrait that I am trying to save... thanks, though... I'm open to more ideas!

  I just removed some glasses glare using the clone tool. I had the mode set to "darken" and the opacity at 50%. The darken makes sure it only clones over the areas that are darker than your selected area that you choose to copy. I'm not sure if the opacity made a difference. But it worked nicely! But if the glare is over the eye... you're pretty much out of luck unless you can copy the other eye (assuming it's glare-free). Good luck!

  If you have another shot without the glare, the clone tool will work from one photo to another. I have gone as far as cloning the whole head of someone in a group because that particular persons expression was better in another photo.That gets a little tricky around the edges, but it can be done.
I find that when taking a photo of a group where someone has glasses (I know this doesnt help now, but possibly in the future) have them tilt their heads slightly down to avoid the glare.
