Adobe Lightroom’s Reflection Removal Tool Shines

Adobe Lightroom's new reflection removal tool is making waves in photo editing. A recent trip to New York resulted in a photo almost destined for the trash due to window glare. However, using Lightroom's tool, most reflections were removed with just a few clicks.

This tool is powered by Adobe's generative AI platform, Firefly, simplifying complex reflection removal tasks. It showcases the potential of software to replace traditional circular polarizing filters.

Yet, the tool doesn't fully replace polarizing filters in all scenarios. In cases of strong reflections, filters may still be quicker and more effective. Nevertheless, the tool is a valuable asset for removing reflections in quick snapshots.

Adobe Firefly is built on licensed work, avoiding copyright issues. This advancement highlights a bright future for photo editing software.
