The Remove Red Eye filter

  • Article

You can use the Remove Red Eye filter to remove the "red-eye" effect caused by a camera flash.

To remove red-eye from an image

  1. Select an image file.

  2. On the Window menu, click Image Editor.

  3. Click the Remove Red Eye filter.

  4. Use the Zoom slider at the bottom of the Remove Red Eye dialog box to zoom in on the area where the eyes are located.

  5. Use the Selection tool to draw an area around the iris of the eye. Depending on the skin tone, you can, with some images, draw a box around both eyes. Be aware of reddish colors in skin tone, lips, or hair, because they might be affected.

  6. Adjust the level of red-eye by using the Reduction slider. A setting of 5 or 6 is optimal.

  7. Click OK. To adjust the other eye, repeat these steps.
