Precisely remove red eye

The Red Eye Removal tool removes red eye in flash photos of people. Red eye is caused by the illumination of the subject’s retina by the camera’s flash. You’ll see it more often when taking pictures in a darkened room because the subject’s iris is wide open. To avoid red eye, use the camera’s red-eye reduction feature, if available.

Correct red eye by selecting an eye (top) or clicking an eye (center).

  1. To manually fix red eyes, select the Red Eye Removal tool .
  2. In the Options bar, set the Pupil Size and Darken Amount.
  3. In the image, do one of the following:
    • Click a red area of an eye.

    • Draw a selection over the eye area.

      When you release the mouse button, the red is removed from the eyes.
      Note: You can also automatically fix red eyes by clicking Auto in the Red Eye Removal tool.
