Hi there ...

The link goes through to another forum ... which then requires people to register with it if they wish to look at your image. I would image that quite a few people won't want to register .. so it may be better if you post the image on Pixentral ...

Follow the instructions on the site and then when your image is uploaded copy the URL from just above the image and paste it into a message here. :)

Hi there ...

Thanks for reposting :)

Seeing that there are so many people on the photograph I would be inclined to create a new layer above the photograph and simply paint over the eyes ... then if it looks too artificial I would just lower the opacity.

Its quite difficult to know how many you will need to do because of the resolution but it should be too bad :)

Yes, that's what I'd do... ddd a Hue / Saturation adjustment layer.

For the Red Eye...

:arrow: Select Red from the drop down menu, then drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left.

:arrow: Set the foreground colour to black and then press Alt - Backspace to fill the Hue / Saturation mask with black (this turns the mask off).

:arrow: Select a small brush and paint with white over the affected eyes to remove the red - without need to make selections.

A related question: It's fairly easy to fix red eye but does anyone have a fix for bright flash reflections from someone's glasses?

Hi Dennis ...

Here is a thread that covered quite a lot on glare on glasses ... it can be a pain to remove.

The thread has links to other threads too but id you need anymore help then just ask :)

Wendy,

Thanks for the suggestions, flipping a good side horizontally sounds like a good way if there's one good eye. I will try that and the other suggestions.
