photo-remove-window-reflection — gemini — 49 words

Remove the reflections on the [GLASS TYPE, e.g. window] in this photo, so I can see what is behind the window clearly. Keep the subject behind the glass exactly as it is.

Restore natural colour and contrast, remove the glare from the lights, and keep the window frame unchanged.

Shooting at an angle to the glass reduces reflections before you edit.

Your photo goes to the AI app you choose, never to PromptUp.

What you will get

The same photo with the glare and the mirrored room lights cleared from the glass, so the street, garden or view behind the window is easier to see. The window frame and the colours stay as they were.

Common mistake

The reflection is blurred out, but so is the detail behind the glass.

Fix: Say what is behind the window, for example “a street with parked cars and shop signs, keep them sharp”. The tool then knows what should survive.

Also watch for

A ghost of your own reflection, or of the phone you shot with, is still in the corner. Point to it: “also remove the reflection of a person holding a phone in the lower left”. Faint reflections are often missed unless they are named.
The reflection was strong, so part of the view behind it is now guessed. Check the result against what you remember. Where the glare covered the scene, the AI has to invent detail, so do not use the picture as proof of what was there.

Try a variation: aeroplane window

Write “aeroplane window” in the glass box and add “keep the wing, clouds and horizon as they are, and remove the cabin reflection”. Plane windows are scratched, so say whether to keep the scratches.

Still not right? Reply with this

Remove the remaining reflection in the top right and the lower left only. Keep everything behind the glass exactly as it is now, and do not change the frame.

FAQ

About this prompt

Can ChatGPT remove reflections from a photo?

Gemini and ChatGPT can both reduce reflections in many photos when you say what the glass is and what is behind it. If the glare is very strong, parts of the scene behind it will be guessed, so compare the result with the real view.
