Lens flare

[Psytrox]

Hello,

I took a few pictures on a sunny day, unfortunately when I got home, I noticed there was a lot of lens flare on some of my photographs.

Is there any easy way I can remove this in Camera Raw or PS?

Not in Camera Raw, but in PS you may be able to 'clone' out the flare. Just how difficult it will be, will depends on what is 'under' the flare. If it's a uniform surface, then it's easy. If there are a lot of details, then it can be very hard.

If you don't want the flare, it's best to avoid it in the first place.

Thanks for the reply... It was unfortunately what I was afraid of. I think I'll be able to remove some of it... But most likely not all.

Oh well, a lesson well learned :x

Just wondering, did you have a UV filter on the lens when you took the photos?
