I need some help! I use PS3 and Canon's DPP Viewer module for CR2 files.
1 How do you remove flare? Is it the levels sliders?
2 How do you save and implement a standard procedure (like a Word macro)?
I keep reading it's easy to remove flare but I must be doing something wrong I think. My Mir-24M is quite flary sunwards and I often have to do this job. It would save me hours if I knew the answer to No 2!!
See what you can do with this file and tell me how you did it please:

Hi,
hopefully you allow me to show my sample of your image
If you have only a little amount of flare like in your sample I use the copy stamp (I´m not sure that this is the right word in English because I own the German version). I have done it here.
Then exposure correction, some tone gradients, maybe a little bit more colour, sharpening ( i use absolute sharpening).
Then resizing (not necessary here) with additional sharpening, saving and at least a little bit additional sharpening with DPP at the end of process.

Yes Poilu, you have right. Best is to prevent flare.
With your sample here it is more hopeless to remove it with PP

Thanks Rolf, that's better but it seems quite a long-winded process. Can it be automated?
Poilu, I wish I could find a 58mm hood that suits the Mir. I bought a nice metal one from Germany recently on Orio's tip - it's supposed to be suitable for 35mm but it vignettes. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

If you ask RJ he probable has a hood to fit. If a regular vignettes you probable want a wide angle hood. He has both types. They are metal and screw into the filter threads.
I have seven coming from him now. He has been good to do business with.
Send a message to him and ask.

Peter, wait for CS5. There is feature included which is called content-aware fill.
It seems to work like a charm:

Thanks Carsten. What I want to do is get rid of the misty effect. I'm not too bothered about the green sun reflection. I called the misty effect "flare", maybe I should have used a different word, "glare" perhaps? _________________ Peter - Moderator |

You can not set up an action or a brush to do that.
Just by hand, pixel by pixel if necessary.
You can use the healing tool also. |

Ah, OK. I think it's also called "flare", Peter. So, don't worry.
You should be able to cope with that using the level and curve functions. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

That glare/flare would be difficult to remove with automation. The amount of curves & sharpening would vary too much. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

Thanks everyone. I simply use the middle slider in levels at the moment, this is the result:
I didn't actually want to use automation for this, that was a separate question! I can use the Save & Load buttons in Levels to apply a "recipe". What I want to know is how to record and apply a series of actions on a batch of files, for instance resizing, using a keyboard shortcut or similar. I know how to do it in DPP but not in PS. I'm sure it's possible, but I can't find it in Help. _________________ Peter - Moderator |
