How to fix a glare in iPhoto?

Posted on

Whether it appears on the glasses or on the window glass in the background, glare will ruin a good photo.

Use Apple’s iPhoto digital photo processing software to eliminate glare in a few seconds, and use the program’s correction tools to automatically detect and reduce glare.

STEPS:

Opening Photos

  • Before you can edit an image in iPhoto, the image file must be added to your iPhoto library. Launch iPhoto, then open the folder on your computer containing the images you want to use and drag them to either the iPhoto window or the program’s icon on the dock. Alternatively, go to the “File” tab in iPhoto and choose “Import to Library,” then choose the images you want to add.

Retouch Tool

  • The Retouch tool in iPhoto can correct a variety of imperfections on your photographs, including out-of-place hair, skin blemishes, and glare on just about any surface. iPhoto automatically detects what needs to be fixed about the selected area and changes it. For instance, it can replace a blemished area of skin with a nearby similar area of skin so that you cannot notice the repair.

Using the Retouch Tool

  • With your photo open in iPhoto, go to the “Edit” icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the iPhoto window, select the “Quick Fixes” tool and then “Retouch.” Use the “Size” slider to determine how large the Retouch tool is; if you are fixing a small area of glare, move the slider to the left to make the tool smaller. Move the Retouch tool over the glare in your photo, then release your mouse; iPhoto fixes the glare automatically. Repeat the process, if necessary.

Considerations

  • If you are unhappy with the results of your retouch application, click the “Undo” button to reverse the fix. If you have made multiple changes to the photo and want to eliminate all of them, go to the “Edit” tab, then click “Effects” and “Revert to Original” at the bottom of the tab to undo your changes. When you save a photo in iPhoto, a copy of the original is always saved as well, so you cannot lose the original image.
