Glasses reflections can ruin otherwise perfect portraits, obscuring your subject's eyes and creating distracting bright spots. While traditional AI models can remove these reflections, they often alter facial features and frame details in the process.
Photoshop's new Firefly Image Model 5 changes this by preserving facial structure, eyebrow hairs, and glasses frames while seamlessly removing reflections. This advanced AI maintains image integrity while delivering superior results compared to earlier models.

Practical Tips
These key techniques will help you achieve the best results when removing glasses reflections:
- Use the Selection Brush Tool to carefully outline only the reflection areas, extending slightly into the frame if necessary
- Choose Firefly Image Model 5 from the Adobe models section for maximum detail preservation
- Write clear prompts like "remove the reflection from off the glasses" for consistent AI interpretation
- Accept the 10-credit cost for premium results - the single variation is typically all you need
- Compare before and after results by toggling the layer to verify facial features remain unchanged
