New Lightroom Tool Removes Reflections — Surprising Win for Water Photographers

Lightroom’s gone and done it — they’ve just dropped a brand new tool that removes reflections from your photos… and it actually works. Now, it’s meant for glass — think windows, shopfronts, that sort of thing — but I’ve been giving it a run on my water shots, and mate… it might just be a sneaky win for us surf and ocean photographers too. In this video, I’ll show you what it does, where it absolutely nails it, where it falls flat on its face, and how I’ll be using it moving forward — especially for those annoying dome port reflections when shooting into the sun. Even if you’re not into saltwater and surf, this tool could save plenty of images that would’ve been binned otherwise. ➡️ Water photographers — I’ve also got a sneaky tip for avoiding dome reflections caused by lens markings.
