Hi
Using Photoshop 7
I have a photo with a reflection of a window in a persons glasses
Would it be possible to remove the reflection without ruining the
photo?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Blow up the image so you can really see what you're doing. Sometimes you
can clone in the other eye, or even parts of the other eye. Pick up little
bits here and there and build up an image of what you imagine was behind the
reflection. You could even go to to a different photograph for eyes and
whatever else you need. In Photoshop Elements I use the Move Tool to
resize, rotate and reshape as necessary. This can be somewhat tedious, but
if you treat it as a challenge, you'll be amazed at how your skill improves.
Even if that particular picture does not justify the effort, the practice of
doing this sort of thing pays off--sort of like practicing a musical
instrument.

YES, it's possible and easier or harder will depend on your Photoshop
skill. It may not much because I can't be able to give all small
detail on Usenet, but just the general.

1. You will need to know how to use LAYER

2. You will need to learn how to use MASKING. You don't have to create a
MASK but using the Quick Mask command.

3. If it isn't so bad (need replacement) then you can always use CLONE tool

Now time to start the fun, and I am giving the general instruction how to
REPLACE the bad one with good one, which can include the EYE

1. Mark the good side then copy over the bad one

2. Using tool to resize, rotate the replacement to match the bad one. If
you can see the lower layer then you can always lower the OPACITY so you can
see through to align the replacement.

3. Then you can use Erase Tool, Mask Tool and whatever basic tool you may
need to erase/soften the edge.

This is a very basic thing most retouchers often do.
