Adobe's Project See ThroughA tool that is able to eliminate distracting reflections in photos taken through Windows is now available as a Technology Preview and is now called reflection removal toolOriginally revealed as a “sneak” during Adobe's annual Max conference last year, according to Adobe, you can access the tool through Adobe Camera Raw in preview with the Lightroom release “coming soon.” Can do.
The best way to ensure a photo isn't spoiled with reflections is to avoid shooting through a window, but Adobe's new tool will increase the chances that that beautiful mountain view you captured while in flight will be. Would be really worth sharing. The tool works by separating the two scenes that form one image with reflections, which are often distinguished by different materials, white balance (indoor scenes look warmer than outdoor scenes), and their sharpness. Is.
The AI model used by the reflection removal tool was trained on a database of thousands of images without reflections, which were combined and merged to create millions of images with simulated reflections. Through the reinforcement process, the model learned how to extract original photos from a combined image, both of which are available in the new tool. The results are often impressive, but Adobe says that “if a reflection is so strong or complex that a person looking at the photo struggles to figure out what's what, our model may struggle as well.”
To access the new tool, which currently only works with RAW images (support for JPEG and HEIC is planned) you'll need to open the Camera Raw tool and then the Technology Preview section of its Preferences panel where you can select the new Can enable AI settings and features. panel before restarting Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Bridge.
With an imported RAW file, you'll find a Reflection option in the Distraction Removal section of the Remove panel. After a few seconds of processing a reflection-free version of the image will (hopefully!) be presented with the slider set to 100. Dragging the slider to zero will restore reflections, while dragging it to -100 will only display the reflected image.
