Can This be Done? (Removing glasses)

I have been asked to remove a guy's glasses in a wedding portrait. It is a front-on head shot with the bride and groom. Apparently the groom would NOT wear contacts for the wedding but has since then switched to wearing them. The bride would like this photograph edited to remove the glasses. Is this something that can be done? Anyone good with photoshop who can do this? (I'd be willing to pay anyone who is able to do this). :D

    Depends on the glasses and frame and the eyes in the image. Post the photo to get the answer.

    It might be easier to clone in the whole head, rather than removing the glasses, if you have another shot of the head from a similar vantage point and lighting.

    Super job wings.gifbarb Can't even tell that he had glasses before. I love the post processing you did on the whole picture. I couldn't tell that they were standing on the beach until you removed all of the yellow tint from the background.

    Do you offer your services for any other post processing?? I have quite a few family photos that could use some touch ups.

    Wow! That's impressive. Scrolling down I thought to myself, "there is no way that's happening.." I scroll a bit more, and there it is!
    A stupid nitpick would be to remove the dot just above the horizon to the right of his head. But really, that's very cool.

    Thanks Tim, I have done some post processing for people, but don't know how to get my name out there. Maybe this is a start. I would think that there are a lot of photographers out there that don't like or don't have the time to do PP themselves. I don't consider myself a great photographer, but I enjoy taking a good picture and trying to make it great with PP. I would love to help you with your family photos and my prices are very reasonable. Send me an e-mail if you are interested (and anyone else for that matter)

    Thanks Microcosm,
    You are absolutely right on the strange dot next to his head. I missed it, but seems obvious, now that you point it out.
