I have this really cute picture of my son giving me a kiss, but the flash is reflecting off the sides of our faces. Is there anyway to post edit this picture or is it just a deleter? I hope there is some way to save it. I thought maybe someone might know a trick. Thanks

I am using PSE6.

I'm not sure if you can edit the reflection out, but you might be able to tone it down. Can you post the pic?

I tried playing with it, but it's too blown out. There's no detail to try and grab on your faces.

Try doing something totally wacky with it though, for a totally different look. I duplicated the background layer and then set that mode to color burn and it had a funky cool look to it.

Thanks so much for the help. I will play with it and see if I can get something to work. I appreciate the help.

Yeah, it's probably too far gone to fix. The camera has only recorded white pixels in those areas -- so there's no data from the details of your faces to recover. I agree with Col, though, that it would probably be great with a funky photo effect! And you could minimize all the blow outs but cropping in real tight on just the faces where you are kissing.
