It’s happened to all of us. We looked at our digital images or prints and see that the people we photograph at the party are possessed with bright red eyes. Red-eye occurs when a person or an animal looks directly into the cameras flash, usually indoors or at night. Animals usually end up with yellow, green or even blue eye. You can take some steps to avoid red-eye when shooting photos. And you can also easily correct it in Adobe Photoshop elements.
Most cameras have a red-eye prevention mode which is a lesson 10’s preflash that causes the subject’s irises to contract making their pupil smaller when the real flash goes off, Many SLR cameras mount to flash high or to the side of the lens which also reduces the chance of red-eye. The further the flash is from your lens, the lesser the chance for red-eye to occur. If you have either or both of those options, use them prevent red-eye when shooting. If you still end up with red-eye in your photo select the photo in elements organizer. Click the fix tab. Now, you could try auto red-eye fix. But it doesn’t always find all of the eyes in the photo. So let’s choose quick fix to make sure we get them all. Then, select the red eye removal tool from the tools panel. And then finally, click the red portion of the eye. The red pupil should darken while retaining the tones and textures of the eye. If the red eye wasn’t fixed to your satisfaction, click edit, undo and take a look at the options.
The pupil size is the area adjusted by the red-eye tool. When you’ve clicked red-eye before, if not enough of the area was affected increase the pupil size. Even though you won’t see a change in the cursor when you click you will affect a larger area. Feel free to zoom in with the zoom tool in order to see more precisely.
You can also adjust how light or dark you want the pupil to be with the darker amount. If the red-eye removal tool didn’t work for your pet’s yellow, green or blue eye, try the brush tool instead. Click to full edit mode if you’re not already there. Select the brush tool in the tools palette. Then select brush type with soft round pixels. Choose a size that is slightly smaller than the pupil. Set the foreground color to black and click around the center of the pupil. The soft edges help to blend the pupil into the eye. Then zoom out to see how it looks. If you need to try again, click edit and select revert. Zoom in, select the brush tool, adjust the options, and try again.
