Wikipedia states that the first eyeglasses were made in Northern Italy, most likely in Pisa, by about 1290. Since their humble origins, glasses have evolved from being categorized as medical appliances, to objects of ridicule (“four eyes”) to something of a ‘geek-chic’ fashion statement. According to the American Vision Council, a non profit trade organization serving diverse segments of the optical industry, over 182 million adults in the US currently wear prescription glasses.
In the video above, Unmesh Dinda of PiXimperfect shows you the best way to avoid and fix those annoying reflections. Using advanced dodging and burning with a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, he shows you how to even out the brightness to make the glass completely transparent. Then, with the help of blending modes, you’ll learn how to remove any color cast and correct the skin tone around it.
