Reducing lens flare in a jpg

[okpeery]

I usually use Photoshop but for the next 2 weeks will only have access to Fireworks. I have 40 or so jpgs of jewelry that I am going to optimize and put on my website. Before I optimize them the one thing I cannot figure out how to do in Fireworks is reduce the lens flare. I have some silver jewelry and there is too much glare. I would do something quick and dirty like the healing wand if I didn't want to spend too much time. Is there an equivalent in Fireworks.

PS I tried taking the photos without the flash and I didn't have enough light so that is not an option either.

How exactly do you reduce a lens flare in photoshop? I've never done it in PS or Fireworks. Thats like answering a question with another question isn't it?
