Remove red eye
The Red Eye tool removes red eye in flash photos of people or animals, and white or green reflections in flash photos
of animals.
1
Select the Red Eye tool
.
2
Click in the red eye. If you are not satisfied with the result, undo the correction, set one or more of the following
options in the options bar, and click the red eye again:
Pupil Size
Increases or decreases the area affected by the Red Eye tool.
Darken Amount
Sets the darkness of the correction.
Red eye is caused by a reflection of the camera flash in the subject’s retina. You’ll see it more often when taking
pictures in a darkened room because the subject’s iris is wide open. To avoid red eye, use the camera’s red eye
reduction feature. Or, better yet, use a separate flash unit that you can mount on the camera farther away from the
camera’s lens.
Replace color in image areas
