Remove red-eye from photos

The Red-eye Removal tool quickly paints only the red areas of a photograph, replacing reddish colors with grays and blacks.

Original photograph; after using the Red-eye Removal tool

  1. In the Bitmap section of the Tools panel, select the Red-eye Removal tool . (If the tool isn’t visible, hold down the Rubber Stamp tool until a pop-menu appears.)

  2. In the Property inspector, set these options:

    Tolerance
    Determines the range of hues to replace (0 replaces only red; 100 replaces all hues that contain red).

    Strength
    Sets the darkness of the grays used to replace reddish colors.

  3. Drag the cross-hair pointer over the red pupils in the photograph.

    If red-eye remains, choose Edit > Undo, and repeat steps 2 and 3 with different Tolerance and Strength settings.
