Glyn Dewis<\/a>, this detailed video walks through a direct comparison of how different AI models inside Photoshop beta handle reflection removal on eyeglasses in a portrait. Dewis uses a raw portrait of a veteran from his “39 to 45 Portraits” project, which gives the test real stakes since it’s a meaningful image. He starts by running the same task through Firefly Image 1 and the Firefly Fill and Expand tool, both of which do a convincing job of eliminating the reflection but introduce subtle changes around the eyebrows, eyelids, and the shape of the glasses frame itself. If you care about keeping the original likeness intact, those results aren’t good enough.<\/p>\nThat’s where Firefly Image Model 5 preview becomes worth your attention. It costs 10 generative credits per use instead of the standard one credit, and unlike the other models, it only returns a single result rather than three variations to choose from. Dewis zooms in tight on the eyebrow hairs after the generation completes, and the individual strands are pixel-for-pixel identical to the original. The glasses frame holds its shape exactly. That level of detail preservation is the real difference between this model and everything else currently available inside Photoshop.<\/p>\n
The video also touches on why the reflection removal tool in Lightroom and Camera Raw doesn’t solve this particular problem. That feature works best when a window or large light source dominates the frame, not when you’re trying to clean up small lens reflections on a subject’s glasses. Dewis ran his tests on real portrait work rather than a staged demo image, which gives you a clearer picture of what to expect when you bring your own files into the workflow. He also notes that Firefly Image 5 is still in preview, so what you’re seeing here is likely only going to improve.
