You can remove the red-eye effect from allphotographs, whether they are scanned from film orprints or start out as digital files. Photoshop CS3includes a Red Eye tool that makes the process veryeasy.Red eye is caused by the reflection of a camera flashin a persons retina. When you shoot in a darkenedroom, the subjects irises are wide open and theirpupils enlarged, increasing the chances for red-eyephotos. Using a camera with the flash mounted directly above the lens also causes more red eyesthan using a bounce flash or a flash unit that ispositioned away from the camera lens.By default, Photoshops Red Eye tool uses a largebrush and makes the areas around the pupil black.You can change the default settings in the Optionsbar to fit the size of your subjects eyes. Changingthe red areas to a dark gray color rather than blackmakes your subject look more natural and enablesyou to change the eye color later if needed.
