Hi guys, I'm new and this is my first post. I would like to remove the glasses glare from a picture using GIMP. I am a beginner in GIMP and I tried using the healing tool and cloning but neither seems to work well but I may be doing this wrong. I also have a similar picture where I don't have the glare as bad and I was trying to clone using this picture but it doesn't look natural. I have glasses glare in a lot of pictures so it'd be useful to know how to remove the glare for future use too.

I would love to be able to recommend some magic plugin or tool to remove that glare but I do not know of one.

I think you were on the correct path using the clone tool. It does become very much an artistic reconstruction, so the more time you spend the better. Glare in a lot of pictures? Not going to be easy. Each picture has to be considered on its own.

I got this in not much time, https://i.imgur.com/lJZ6cgl.jpg All clone tool and smudge tool, but then I am not much of an artist.

Another way is to make a copy of the glasses from Image1 (make a selection on the glasses) and paste this as a separate layer above Image2. The Unified Transform tool is a good tool to position the glasses correctly. In the image below the layer boundary for the glasses can be seen.
(This is just a quick demo, no cloning or blending done.)

Do you still have this image? I think that looks really good, could I get a copy of it?
