I should probably start using them, shouldn't I? I have them somewhere, but I don't even know which one goes with which lens anymore.


Yes you should for sure lol
If you need to though simply hold up your hand or a magazine to block the unwanted light

(I didn't bother cloning the contraption in the upper left hand corner, because I still am not convinced that the photo is good enough.


Ahh by the title I thought you meant How can I fix THIS picture. I didn't realize it was an example.


sorry! I just had no idea how to start on something like this. Cloning wouldn't really work because of the details that would have been lost.

Wide angle lens, because I forgot a regular lens. No lens hood. Bad flare lines going through their shirts.

I'm not sure how to fix this type of problem in photoshop. What do I need to do (other than reshoot the picture) to fix this?



Honestly with as many other issues that there are with this photo, I'd reshoot it. I can pick at least 4 kids with either mostly closed or closed eyes all together and unless you have other shots to do headswaps I'd suggest a re-shoot and change what went wrong on this one.


I just posted that as an example -- all of them were that way, and I was looking for ideas on how to fix it.

If you post a full size version it may be easier, I would have a go at it but I am no expert.
