How do I get rid of the light glare on my iPhone photos?

Answered by Edward Huber

To get rid of light glare on your iPhone photos, you can use the Retouch tool in iPhoto. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the photo in iPhoto by double-clicking on it in your library.
2. Once the photo is open, click on the “Edit” icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the iPhoto window. This will bring up the editing tools.
3. In the editing tools, select the “Quick Fixes” tool. It looks like a magic wand icon.
4. From the Quick Fixes options, choose “Retouch.” This tool allows you to remove imperfections or unwanted elements from your photo.
5. Adjust the size of the Retouch tool using the “Size” slider. If you’re dealing with a small area of glare, move the slider to the left to make the tool smaller. This will give you more precision when retouching.
6. Now, simply click and drag the Retouch tool over the area of the photo where the glare is present. It will automatically sample and blend the surrounding pixels to remove the glare.
7. Continue retouching until the glare is completely removed. You can always use the “Undo” button if you make a mistake or want to start over.

It’s important to note that the Retouch tool works best for small areas of glare or imperfections. If the glare covers a larger portion of the photo, you may need to use other editing techniques or apps specifically designed for advanced photo retouching.

In my personal experience, the Retouch tool in iPhoto has been quite effective in removing light glare from iPhone photos. It’s a quick and easy way to fix minor imperfections and enhance the overall look of your images. However, if the glare is severe or covers a significant portion of the photo, additional editing may be required using more advanced software like Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom.

To summarize, to get rid of light glare on your iPhone photos in iPhoto, use the Retouch tool under the Quick Fixes options. Adjust the size of the tool, then click and drag over the glare area to remove it. Remember to save your edited photo once you’re satisfied with the result.
