So a friend of mine is trying to track down a painter.  I tried doing an image search, but all I'm getting is a bunch of "oil painting with glare" type images, for obvious reasons.  Anyone know how to get rid of the glare?

 

 

Or perhaps they just know who the painter is.

I'll ask my friend who is an artist.

Awesome!

Hubby is good! Still haven't heard back from my friend!

Could EdWood "shop" a Kindle in there?

Get rid of the glare in the photo, you mean?

 

Careful and likely frustrating Photoshop work.

 

I would probably go with doing the corrections in Curves and painting them on with the History Brush (in whatever mode looks best) or doing the same thing with a layer mask. The tricky bit is making the transition undetectable.

 

Bonnie says feather, grab the affected area and dupe it back on top in multiply mode. Which could also be done with a layer mask to make it less frustrating. 

 

Or a combination of those techniques. They all sort of do the same thing.

 

It looks like a quick Free Transform would be in order to square it up, too.
