Remove red eye

The Red Eye tool removes red eye in flash photos of people or animals, and white or green reflections in flash photos of animals.

  1. Select the Red Eye tool .
  2. Click in the red eye. If you are not satisfied with the result, undo the correction, set one or more of the following options in the options bar, and click the red eye again:
    Pupil Size
    Increases or decreases the area affected by the Red Eye tool.

    Darken Amount
    Sets the darkness of the correction.

Red eye is caused by a reflection of the camera flash in the subject’s retina. You’ll see it more often when taking pictures in a darkened room because the subject’s iris is wide open. To avoid red eye, use the camera’s red eye reduction feature. Or, better yet, use a separate flash unit that you can mount on the camera farther away from the camera’s lens.
