Yes. > I have thought about using flash off camera but I am worried about > knocking it in small places. Off-camera flash, or steady lights (you can get LED lights fairly cheaply on ebay or aliexpress but I have not tried them), or put something over the flash to direct the light upwards. Since you still have good detail there; you could check in darktable (assuming you're on Linux) or rawtherapee and see if any of the detail can be recovered, but I doubt it. An LED macro ring light is another possibility. But best is if the light comes from the side, so it doesn't bounce off and hit the camera lens. See if you can go without flash at all. > From: Steve Kinney <ad...@pilobilus.net> > To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org > Sent: Saturday, 20 August 2016, 8:30 > Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Remove shine > > > > On 08/20/2016 03:07 AM, David Holland wrote: > > > > I take photos of wildlife and with beetles I have a lot of > > reflection, is there an easy to remove this? > > IMG_8352beetle > > Hey David, > > The photo didn't make it through to the list, alas - posting the URL > rather than a formatted link should bring it through. > > Just as a guess it sounds like you will need to "paint over" the > unwanted reflestions in the images, replacing them with realistic > textures and contours that fit into the surrounding image smoothly. > > Depending on the situation, resynthesizer tools like Heal Selection > might be exactly what you want: That particular filter samples the > image around the selection, and uses the color, texture etc. of those > pixels to smoothly fill the selection.
