  Eye shine removal in general and specificaly in Vegas

  Posted by Greg Login on August 21, 2016 at 2:38 pm

  I am working with a digital nightvision footage of various night active animals and can’t think of an easy way of eye shine removal from the footage.
  Basically a digital nightvision is using IR illumination to light up the scene, but it is also causing very strong eye shine. It just does not look good and would like to get rid of that so the footage looks more natural.
  Any ideal appreciated.

  Cheers,
  Greg

  My thought is to use Color Curves and drop the bright part only down quite a bit. I’m sure the eyes are way overexposed and doing this should help a lot.

  Can you post a hi res screen shot? PNG format please. Any frame you like and I’ll play with it and see what luck I have.
  Thanks.

  It basically is like poorly exposed footage, something like filming reflective objects in a spotlight… I thought there is a method to work with things like that or at least someone tried it before.

  Not exactly high quality as it is coming from a low res sensor and quite a lot of noise…

  Appreciate your help.
