Hi, I have 4 photos taken from a family event which I need printing asap for a frame but there is glare from a light over some of the faces. I am a complete beginner at photoshop and have no idea how to remove the light glare. Is this possible and if so could someone please show me how? Or if it's only quick to do is there anyone I could send the photos to fix please? Thank you

The images are all like this (it's a shame the person taking the photos didn't think to tell us to move from under the light!) I think I will have to watch some photoshop tutorials as I really can't get the hang of it.

This isn't glare, this is overexposed and blown out. There's no information left. Sorry, but that's the reality

If you have a raw file, you can try to recover the highlights, hoping the camera sensor wasn't completely saturated.

If it's a jpeg, it's gone and your only option is to rebuild. That takes advanced skill.

Hi!

One possibility is using the blending modes, but without seeing the photo it's hard to say if that is the right technique. If you could post one of the photos, we could be more help. Also, what version of photoshop are you using?
