How to Remove RED EYE

You can remove the red-eye effect from all photographs, whether they are scanned from film or prints or start out as digital files. Photoshop CS3 includes a Red Eye tool that makes the process very easy.
By default, Photoshop’s Red Eye tool uses a large brush and makes the areas around the pupil black.You can change the default settings in the Options bar to fit the size of your subject’s eyes. Changing the red areas to a dark gray color rather than black makes your subject look more natural and enables you to change the eye color later if needed.

Step1. With the image open, drag the Background layer over the New Layer icon to duplicate it.
Step2. Click the Zoom tool and zoom into enlarge the red eyes.
Step3. Click and hold the Spot Healing Brush tool to reveal its other tool options.
Step4. Click the Red Eye tool.The Options bar changes to show the options for the Red Eyetool.
Step5. Double-click here and type 15.
Step6. Make sure that the Darken Amount data field is set to 50.
Step7. Click in the red area of one eye.
Photoshop replaces the red with a neutral gray.
Step8. Click in the red area ofthe other eye. Photoshop again replaces the red with aneutral gray.
Step9. Click the Zoom tool.
The Options bar changes.

entire image and the more natural-looking eye color.
