463179 2006-06-15 00:33:00 What program can I use to remove 'red-eye' of a picture? I've access to Photoshop 7 but could not find this red eye removal tool.

Can someone point me to the correct direction?

Cheers

463180 2006-06-15 02:01:00 A free program like Picasa2 does the job nicely. As far as I'm aware, PS7 doesn't have a "red-eye removal tool" as such. somebody (208)

463182 2006-06-15 02:09:00 PC World's article here (pcworld.co.nz).

Another method here (graphicssoft.about.com)

The easiest way, for me, is the method as described below:

This is a slight variation on red eye removal tips you may have seen elsewhere, but its very quick and very effective.

1. Select the sponge tool (an option next to the dodge and burn tools--letter "O" in Photoshop 7). The level of desaturation you set doesnt seem to matter but 50% seems a safe option.

2. Select a brush size equivalent to but not bigger than the size of the subject's pupils.

3. Mouse click accurately on the pupil until the desired level of red eye fix has been achieved

Couldn't find the tool. Remembered vaguely that I ever used Photoshop 7 to remove the red eye fairly easily .

Have tried all the other softwares suggested in this thread but find it difficult to get a good job done.

463186 2006-06-16 11:38:00 This is odd, I can't find this in Photoshop 6. I thought removing red-eye is suppose to be one of the commonest features that a photo-manipulation program, even at the most basic level, should have?

If you have Microsoft Office 2002 / 2003 installed, you can remove the red eye via Microsoft Office Picture Manager if you can be bothered installing Picasa2 (which I, along with others, recommend using).

You found it hard using Picasa2? :eek:

If you really find it difficult removing the red eye, perhaps you might consider uploading the photo to DanielF's ImageF1 and let us try and remove the red spot .

463188 2006-06-17 03:45:00 PS7 doesn't have an automated red-eye tool, no need for it, Just zoom into the affected spot untill you can see the pixels, select em with the correct tool, (forget what its called, but it will grab all the red pixels, then either paint over it or adjust the levels.

Takes all of 4 or 5 seconds.

And Picassa2 does do a pretty good job, if you like people to have grey eyes....
