Lightroom will automatically choose a source part of your photo to overwrite the lens flare. This will be less effective to get rid of light streaks and large areas of low contrast glare. This will work provided the lens flare is relatively small, and the flare is of the ‘objects’ type.
Select the Spot Removal Tool in the Develop module of Lightroom. Lens flare plugin photoshop how to#
This method works particularly well if you want to know how to remove sun spots in Lightroom. The Spot Removal tool in Lightroom is essentially the same as the Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop, and is used as the Lightroom remove lens flare tool. If you want to know how to remove light streaks in Lightroom, it is very tough, but you can try the workflow below.
If you want to know how to remove lens flare in Lightroom, or how to remove sun glare in Lightroom, you are more limited than if you were using Photoshop, but it is still possible to a degree.

If you want to start using it right away, then download the action pack to create saturation masks by signing up to my mailing list below:

To find out more, take a look at the tutorial on how to use saturation masks, and look at the free Photoshop action pack you can download to create them, here. This kind of mask will automatically select areas of high concentration, such as lens flare. You will need a layer mask for this Levels layer, which you can either draw by hand, or use saturation masks to make the selection for you.
If you are trying to remove a large, hazy area, you will be able to then restore the correct contrast using a Levels layer. For smaller amounts of lens flare, you can then use the Spot Healing Brush on another new layer, making sure it is set to ‘Sample All Layers’ then painting it carefully over the lens flare. By painting over the lens flare in this color, on the ‘Color’ blending layer, you will remove its color effects. With a soft brush (press ‘b’) that is a little smaller than the size of the lens flare to remove, paint over the lens flare on the new layer, after first using the color picker (hold ‘Alt’ when on the brush tool) to choose a color from your photo next to the lens flare. Remove lens glare in Photoshop by first creating a new, blank layer, and set its blending mode to ‘Color’. Assuming that the areas that the lens glare and light streaks cover are relatively large, you will not be able to easily use the tools above without some preparation. (Remember that it is always much easier to remove light streaks using proper camera technique before you take the photo, rather than trying to do it afterwards on your computer).
If you have light streaks, or a hazy lens glare that you want to remove in Photoshop, this takes longer and requires more careful work.
Lens flare plugin photoshop Patch#
These work essentially the same – for Patch you draw around the area to be replaced, and for Clone Stamp, you first select an area to act as a source, then paint this over your lens flare.
For smaller sized artifacts, this may be sufficient, but for larger instances of lens flare, you will then need to repeat this with the Patch tool and/or the Clone Stamp. Start with the Spot Healing Brush, making sure it is set to ‘Sample All Layers’ then paint it carefully over the lens flare. Remove lens flare shapes and artifacts in Photoshop by first creating a new, blank layer. To fix lens flare in Photoshop, where you only have one exposure and the lens flare is of the ‘Colors, Shapes, Artifacts’ type, your best bet is to use the Spot Healing Brush, Patch, or Clone Stamp, which act as the Photoshop remove lens flare tools. If you have already taken your picture and want to know how to remove lens flare from it, the best option is to use Photoshop or Lightroom (you could also use After Effects, Photoshop Elements, GIMP, Luminar, Affinity Photo, etc, broadly following the same steps below).
