Redeye Removal Tool

The redeye removal tool lets you replace the red spots that typically result from using flash photography on faces reflecting from the back of the eyes.

You have the option of removing redeye by manually painting over the pupil or automatically.

To define redeye points, shift-click on the input image at the center of each red spot. This displays an overlay on the input image consisting of a circle surrounding the redeye as illustrated below:

The circle indicates the area that will be replaced. For best results, the red area should be just enclosed in the circle. You can adjust the redeye radius using either the Redeye Radius slider or using the mouse scroll wheel. The current redeye point is indicated by a cross displayed at its center.

You can drag the center of a redeye point to adjust its location. To remove a redeye point, ctrl-click on it.

When you click near a redeye point, the Redeye Radius and Method setting are updated to reflect the properties of the redeye point. By the same token, adjusting the Redeye Radius or Method setting set the properties of the current redeye point, if any.

Redeye Radius

This slider lets you control the radius for the current redeye circle in pixels. You can also vary the redeye radius with the mouse scroll wheel.

Method

Manual -- lets you paint over the red pupil and place a specular highlight at the center of the eye. You can specify the pupil and highlight colors.

Auto -- automatically detects and replaces the redeye
