Removing Red Eye

Red eye is caused by light reflecting off the interior surface of the eye, which produces a red glare.

To Remove Red Eye:

  1. Click the Magnifying Glass Tool and click on the photo until you have zoomed in on one eye.
  2. In the Toolbar, under Fix, click the Red Eye Tool.
  3. In the Properties bar, set the Opacity to the hue of black that you want to apply to the black area of the eye.
  4. Set the Tolerance to the number of pixels that you want to change. A lower tolerance reduces the number of pixels that you will change.
  5. Click the red areas of the eye. Avoid clicking in light or colored areas.
  6. Zoom out occasionally to see how the photo looks at normal resolution.
