What is the best way to remove a flash reflection on a wall?
Are there any tips or tricks? I thought maybe making another layer and burn it then make it kinda trasparent but it didnt work.

If the photo needs to be posted for someone to work on it let me know its a large file.

Please post it.

It'll be easier if I can play around with it and then tell you what the best course of action would be. I'd guess the method of removal would also vary from photo to photo.

Here is the flash part, She didn't want the rest posted.

The reflection is too saturated for you to ever extract or show the real wood that it's hiding. You can erase a sizable portion of the outer ring of the reflection with the burn tool... And then try to lightly airbrush the rest with the clone tool.

I can't make it perfect - but I think you can definately minimize the reflection effect.

Let me play around with it.

This is the result of what I described in my last post... Just with a lot more clone stamping than I had planned on.

As a result, those aren't really what your cabinets look like.

But, you get the idea.

Hey pretty good there brandon. Are you trying to be my next photochopper compitition? If so, step on up. Your skills are progessing nicely, and rapidly. I thought maybe Martoch was on his was up to my level be he keeps getting distracted by shiny things.
