Removing Red-Eye from Your Digital Photos

If your digital camera does not have a red-eye reduction mode, when you take flash pictures of people, the flash reflects off their retinas and produces a red glow in each eye. You can easily correct this problem in Photoshop Elements and return the person's eyes to normal.

  1. Open the image of a subject that has red-eye.
  2. Zoom in on the subject's eyes, as shown next.

  3. Select the Red Eye brush tool.

  4. Position your cursor over the subject's eye and press the left bracket ([) key to reduce the size of the brush or the right bracket (]) key to increase the size of the brush. The brush size should be slightly smaller than the pupil of the subject's eye.
  5. Click and drag the tool over each eye. You may have to take a couple of swipes to remove all of the red-eye. The following image shows the subject's eyes after using the Red Eye tool.
