| 362263 | 2005-06-09 00:32:00 | I understand and can cope with red eye but my cats puzzle me. Using flash my old moggy gets intense green eyes (he doesnt eat all that much grass) and the Abysinian cats have silver or green. I would love an explanation and suggestions on how to deal with it. Thanks Tom |

| 362264 | 2005-06-09 01:02:00 | Google says: The portion of the cat's eyes that reflects light is the retina, or more specifically, the tapetum of the retina. Most cats have green tapetal reflections because they have colored retinas. Many Siamese cats do not have pigmented (colored) retinas. When light shines in their eyes, the reflection is red, because you see the blood vessels in the retina instead of the green color that hides the blood vessels in other cats. Using sunglasses on the cat when you take the photo would help... |

| 362265 | 2005-06-09 04:34:00 | I notice that if I'm chasing a possum they have very red eyes, the sheep green, the horse next door gold, the cats vary from brownyred to gold, rabbits tiny red and my biggest surprise was a bluey green dot on the compost pile. Not a rat, but a large Australian orb web spider! For me its a help cause I know what I'm aiming at quickly, but apart from the "red-eye" flash option on most cameras now, most digital photo editors have "redeye eliminators" that will take you through the steps. I like adobe elements, but they all do a good job, and remove whatever colour you choose from the pupil area. | mediawon (8313) | ||
