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.
