  Good job, Dominique. I assume you used the clone brush??

Keri, that's what I would recommend to fix it. Use the clone brush with a small brush size. Find areas around the eye that are about the same color as the tinted area should be, then clone the good parts over the bad.

Nice portrait.

  Keri,
It is a very good portrait.You can also try to fix glare before exposure.
if a subject is waring glasses , first of course:1) push the glasses all the way to the bridge of the nose,if this does not fix it then 2)lift both your main light and fill light a little higher.3) lower the subjects stool(helping to at least move the remaining glare to the rim of the glasses) and have them lean(whole body from the waste , not tuck the chin) toward you- if they do this it should actualy lift the chin(helps so much on double chins etc.)and ease or rid the glare.
glare can be fixed unless it is on the eye it self- so the idea would be if you can't get rid of all, at least minamize it.
I hope this can help also,
Debby Tabb

  Or, adding to what Debby said...just raise the arms (the part that goes over the ears I can never remember what they are called) of the glasses up about a 1/4 or 1/2 inch which will tilt the glass lens more downward and that will also help reduce or eliminate the glare....

Yes, Chris ... thanks!!

Keri, I agree with Chris, Debby and Robert .. they gave good advice!!

Bredan, "el" is the diminutive of "elements"... in french: Photoshop éléments Version 2.0 ( the same as the english version)..

  Ok Dominique I thought that you were just saying PS 2.0. Thanks, that makes it a lot clearer.
