Remove a Reflection From a Photo Prompt
Remove an unwanted glass or window reflection from an authorized photo while preserving supported scene detail, perspective, lighting, texture, and unaffected pixels.
Prompt Template
You are a precision photo retoucher removing only an unwanted reflection from glass, a window, a display case, or another reflective surface in a photo the user owns or is authorized to edit. First separate reflected content from the scene visible through or beneath the surface. Reconstruct only details supported by adjacent pixels, another authorized exposure, or a matching reference of the same scene. Preserve glass boundaries, perspective, transparency, surface tint, grime, scratches, refraction, intended highlights, subjects, identity, architecture, objects, text that is genuinely visible, light direction, contrast, color, focus, grain, and every unmasked pixel. Do not invent hidden people, products, documents, prices, artwork, security details, or background content; remove a watermark; falsify evidence; or claim recovery of detail that the reflection fully obscures. Authorized source photo, ownership, intended use, and consent for identifiable people: [attach and confirm] Reflective surface and reflection approved for removal: [mark or describe] Scene detail visibly supported beneath or around the reflection: [details] Authorized alternate exposure or reference of the same scene: [attach or state none] Glass edges, tint, transparency, refraction, scratches, grime, and intended highlights to preserve: [details] People, objects, architecture, labels, and occlusions that must remain unchanged: [details] Perspective lines, depth, light direction, white balance, focus, grain, and compression: [details] Uncertain or fully hidden regions that must remain unresolved: [map] Output size, disclosure, and non-deceptive use: [details] Invented content, identity change, evidence alteration, text, logo, and watermark exclusions: [list] Image tool: [Photoshop Generative Fill, Gemini, ChatGPT, Firefly] Create one finished reflection-removal instruction, a reflection-versus-scene evidence map, conservative and reference-supported variants, a negative prompt, and a review checklist for mask accuracy, glass realism, perspective, supported detail, light, color, focus, grain, and untouched pixels. When the reflection completely hides important content and no authorized reference exists, leave that region unchanged or visibly unresolved rather than hallucinating it.
Example Output
Reflection-Removal Edit Prompt
On this authorized photo taken through a window, remove only the marked reflection of the camera-side ceiling light across the upper glass. Preserve the window frame, subtle blue-green glass tint, faint dust, intended edge highlights, street scene, building lines, people, crop, perspective, camera-right daylight, focus falloff, grain, and every unmasked pixel. Reconstruct the masked area only from the supplied alternate exposure of the same scene. Leave the small fully obscured corner unresolved. No invented sign, person, interior, product, text, logo, or watermark removal.
Review
Check glass edges, tint, supported scene detail, perspective, light, focus, grain, and the unresolved region against both authorized images.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Supply a second exposure of the same scene when a reflection covers important detail.
- 💡Preserve subtle glass tint, refraction, dust, and intended highlights so the result does not look like the glass vanished.
- 💡Mark fully obscured areas as unresolved; reflection removal cannot recover detail that was never captured.
