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:
- Click the Magnifying Glass Tool and click on the
photo until you have zoomed in on one eye.

- In the Toolbar, under Fix, click the Red Eye Tool.

- In the Properties bar, set the Opacity to the hue of black that you
want to apply to the black area of the eye.
- 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.
- Click the red
areas of the eye. Avoid clicking in light or colored areas.
- Zoom out occasionally
to see how the photo looks at normal resolution.
