Working with the Red Eye Tool

The new Red Eye tool () not only gives the digital restorer an excellent tool for removing pesky red eye, it will also remove the green and white reflections in pet's eyes. The biggest generator of red eye is the onboard flash on your camera. Actually, if they would simply rename a camera's built-in flash, red-eye generator, it might help amateur photographers pay more attention. However, until that day comes, designers will still have to deal with images that contain red eye. The Red Eye tool performs two operations: it desaturates the red values, and darkens the pupil.

Red Eye tool.

Select from the following options on the Options bar:

The red is removed, and the pupil is darkened.
