Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @janjan334.

Now that your first post has been approved, you should be able to attach an image directly to a new post to this thread instead of trying to link to an image on a third-party website. Please also explain what you mean by “anti reflect”.

If by “anti reflect” you mean 'remove the reflections in the glass', that might be difficult as you have both light reflections (e.g. the car on the middle-right, etc.) and dark reflections (e.g. pavement at the bottom left, etc.) at the same time.

You might like to search the forums for remove reflection to see some existing examples, for example:

I don’t see a car or pavement/sidewalk. In fact I don’t see a photo at all! Here’s the image that I downloaded from my browser:

Same here. I thought it might be the browser,  but I've tried three and it's the same in all of them! – Maybe Garry's psychic!

Once again you’ve linked to an external site.

Please use the ‘Choose files…’ link (near the bottom of the message composition box) to browse to the image file so that you can attach it to your forum post.

I have changed the first topic now by 'Choose files'.

There’s no easy answer here, especially with such a ‘busy’ background. Taking the photo through a polarizing filter would have helped enormously, but it isn’t always possible to go back and take a new photo.

Black layer on top, soft light, reduce opacity
Curve layer, use an info point and wind up the highlights until the white dress is white. Use the picker to pull down the red of the no entry sign
Can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear though
Usually better to take the shot from an angle and fix distortion afterwards rather than straight on and try to fix reflections. Plus a polariser of course, one of the filters that computers can't emulate

The edited version!

Thanks for all your advises. I have used the advises of David in Яuislip and have done some clone work.

I realise that it is not perfect but better then it was.

The location is in Spain and I live in the Netherlands.

Next time when I will be there I will go back and use a polarising filter.

Me, I would take a couple glaziers* (they should be local Spaniards so as to save on travel and accommodation costs) and remove and replace the window. A polarizing filter won't do much on reflections that are perpendicular to the camera. Meaning the window is parallel to the film plane.

You want everything behind you to be in darkness when you take a shot like this, you want the light source to be inside the window, between the window and the subject.

* Do not use the tried and true method of a brick and a broom to remove the window.

I knew you were going to say that.
