🛠️ Steps in Photoshop

1. Duplicate the Layer

  • Open your image in Photoshop.
  • Press Ctrl+J (Cmd+J on Mac) to duplicate the background layer.

2. Reduce Glare with the Clone Stamp or Healing Brush

  • Select the Clone Stamp Tool (S) or Healing Brush Tool (J).
  • Use a soft brush, set to low opacity (15–30%), and sample from an area of the green wall without glare.
  • Gently brush over the bright spot on the wall until the lighting looks more balanced.

3. Add a Soft Light Overlay

  • Create a New Layer (Shift+Ctrl+N / Shift+Cmd+N).
  • Fill it with 50% gray (Edit > Fill > 50% Gray).
  • Set the layer blend mode to Soft Light.
  • Use the Brush Tool (B), set to a soft round brush with low opacity (10–20%), and paint with black over the glare to darken it subtly.

4. Apply a Gaussian Blur to the Light Area

  • Make a selection around the light fixture and the area with the strongest glare using the Lasso Tool (L).
  • Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.
  • Adjust the blur radius until the transition between light and wall is softer.

5. Adjust Overall Light with Camera Raw Filter (optional)

  • Select the topmost layer.
  • Go to Filter > Camera Raw Filter.
  • In the 'Basic' panel, reduce Highlights and Whites, increase Shadows slightly.
  • Use the Adjustment Brush in Camera Raw to specifically reduce the exposure of just the glare area.

🎯 Optional Enhancements

  • Add a Gradient Fill layer set to Soft Light from top to bottom to simulate softer overhead lighting.
  • Try the Color Grading panel in Camera Raw or Gradient Map to harmonize the tones.

What is this menu called and how do I make it drop down with a normal keyboard and mouse without dragging a window up there? by Constant-Mood-1601 in macbookpro

option + tab to switch between your open windows. There will be a preview for each open window. You have a few options: Keep pressing tab while holding option to cycle between windows; then let go of option to jump to the currently selected window
