is available only with photographs taken using the flash. The
photograph selected for red-eye correction is previewed as
shown at right. Confirm the effects of red-eye correction and
create a copy as described in the following table. Note that
red-eye correction may not always produce the expected results
and may in very rare circumstances be applied to portions of the image that are not
affected by red-eye; check the preview thoroughly before proceeding.
