Hello, I'm trying to work on removing the reflections of the building in front, windows, and cars on the storefront glass. I've tried with the stamp tool using pixels from the inside of the store but is not working. What is the best way to remove this reflection using photoshop? if there is any way. 

Thank you!

I moved your question from Community Help to Photoshop.

 

I would re-shoot the image with a lens skirt and/or polarizing filters to eliminate unwanted reflections.  There is little chance of recovering interior details unless you have other, same angle interior shots to pull from.

Basically all the glass  in this  shot is reflecting, so you have nothing to work with to replace them.  If you mean the brighter ones, then select them and use curves to add weight to the highlights in those sections to match the shadow or darker areas.

Hi

Your aim should be to reduce reflection not completely remove it, or it will not look like a glass front. Given the amount of reflection in that image though, I would take the image again but this time use a polarising filter on the camera lens which should help reduce, but not eliminate, the reflections.

Dave, How about selecting the window with Magic selection tool and go to exposure - darken as needed? JH

You could try but the trouble with darkening the reflection in Photoshop is that you will also darken the interior. So ideally taking the photo with the polarising filter will allow the interior to show through.
