Canceling Red Eyes in Photoshop

Canceling Red Eyes
Photoshop borrowed a trick from Photoshop Elements, in the form of a very
sophisticated red-eye removal feature, called the Red-Eye tool.
1. Open the picture to be de-demonized.

2. Click the Red Eye tool in the Tool Palette (it’s nested with the Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush, and Patch tool) to activate it (it has a crosshair cursor and eyeball icon).

3. Click in the pupil area of the red eyes. Most of the time, the Red-Eye tool will fix the problem with no further intervention.

4. If the red pupils haven’t been removed, adjust the Pupil Size parameter to control the size of the “brush” used to paint over the red eyes. Set the Darken Amount control to adjust the degree of darkening applied to the red eyes.

5. Click once more in the area that includes the red-eye effect. The tool automatically seeks out the red tone and darkens it, creating more natural-looking eyes.

6. If both eyes are glowing (they usually are), you can repeat
this process for the second eye.
