Removing Glare in Photoshop?
Does anyone know of any filters for Photoshop that eliminate glare and reflections from a window? Thanks.

Remember the old adage - "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
This is your predicament. You can prevent this situation by mounting a polarizing filter to your lens when you photograph the scene, thus eliminating any need for post-shooting surgery.
To my knowledge, there is nothing in post software to help you here. Your situation would require a software to try to "guess" what was behind the glare in a window - something for which there is no basis for the software to begin with.

I did use a circular polarizer but still have some reflections in the window......

The clone brush can help, and it is surprising how often selecting the problem area and manipulating its brightness/saturation levels can reduce the glare and sometimes even reveal what was behing the glass or reflected in it.
Another approach is to paint the areas with a neutral colour or one in a similar tone to the section with the glare, at a low level of opacity (e.g. start with a white foreground at 15%). These techniques quite well with eyeglass glare too.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Most reflection is only slight.
