How to Repair Multicolor Lens Flares in Aperture Photos

Light bouncing off the inside of a lens causes lens flare. A bright light source pointed into the lens produces visible flare. Light shining evenly across an image produces glare. Sometimes these effects are desirable as in the photo of the plants to the left. Avoid unwanted lens flare effects by moving the subject or camera away from the light source or using attachments to change the angle of the light such as a lens hood or polarizing filter. Zoom lenses have more internal elements and are more prone to lens flare than prime lenses. Copy similar elements from the surrounding areas of your photograph to fix lens flare.

Instructions

1




Zoom image to insure all elements of the lens flare are fixed.

Launch Aperture software. Select an image to be edited. Zoom image to at least full size (keyboard shortcut Z). For detailed images, zoom even further so lens flare is magnified.

2

In Aperture 3, open the Quick Brush pop-up menu and select Retouch.

3

Select Clone within the Retouch dialogue box. Use the Radius slider to select the size of the area to be cloned.

4

Move your cursor (brush) over the area you want to copy. Option-Click to select that source area.

5

Move cursor (brush) to cover the lens flare to be fixed.

6

Save your image.
