My daughter just returned from a bus trip. She’s got many photos taken through the bus window. Nice photos, but the glass glare is obvious.

Is there a filter or trick available that will remove the white fog that appears over the entire picture?

You can remove a uniform white fog with curves. Pick a dark part of the image, and move the lower left point of the red, green, and blue curves horizontally toward the middle until you get a nice black.

The same thing, with slightly less control, can be done with levels, or even auto-levels or auto contrast. Do this first if you have a lot of images to deal with, reserving the curve treatment for images that you want to make even better.

The technique will really depend a lot on the nature of the glare. Can you post a link to one of the images please? That way we’ll be able to give you a more accurate and helpfull answer.

if the areas are hot spots that is burnt out to white (no pixels) no tool can put what is not there

you can though
if there is a next frame similar you can cut paste it in from another similar frame that shows the missing spot
or you will have to fake it by cloning or painting from an adjacent area

The trick(s) to shoot through glass

– Put the lens against the glass so there will be no glare

– Don’t use flash (especially straight at the window/glass)

– Good angle (depending on situation).

If you have to use flash, make it an acute angle to the glass. While you’ll lose much of the flash’s light to reflection, it will never be back toward the camera.
