Red Eye Reduction

The Red Eye Reduction tool enables you to reduce the red eye effect that often occurs with flash photography and transforms perfectly respectable friends and relatives into extras in a vampire film.

Usually, you can simply select the Red Eye tool and click on the red eye to fix a photo. Sometimes, a bit more effort is required, for example, when the rest of the face has a reddish tinge, the tool has a more difficult job deciding what is a red eye and what is skin.

Simple case:

  1. Click on Red Eye Reduction image\ppRedeye.gif on the Tools bar

  2. Click on the red part of an affected eye for a fix (if the eye is small, first zoom in to enlarge it).

  3. Repeat for the other eye.

Fine tuning:

Click on the Red Eye Reduction tool. On the Magic Wand toolbox that appears there are three sliders will be displayed that control the Red Eye tool:
