BLACKEYE

[REDLIZARD]

THE OL' WISH LIST. WHEN CORRECTING REDEYE, AN OPTION TO PICK A REALISTIC IRIS COLOR INSTEAD OF EVERYONE GETTING "BLACKEYE".
(Watch, Wendy will have a quick fix for this!)

Oh, also, less expensive "upgrade" prices for loyal Adobe customers. PSE4 is almost full price for the upgrade and we should not have to go through all the rebate C---! If we are registered users, we should get an honest discount and a code to order.

You want a fix?

Simply answer is that I don't use the red eye tool at all :)

Oh OK then here is what I do ...

For red eye try:

Select the red area plus a few pixels ... feather a little.
Enhance>Colour>Hue & Sat ... select red from the edit box and reduce saturation to zero or thereabouts
Enhance>Brightness & Contrast>Levels .. move the left hand marker in about a third of the way and move the centre marker over to the right until the area goes dark ...not too far or it will look artificial.


If you want to change the colour of the iris then select the Iris, feather a little and do Enhance>Colour>Hue & Sat ... that way you get to keep all of the different shades and it looks much more natural.

Sounds complidated but its not ... in fact its a lot easier to do than to explain :)
