removing red-eye
 |
| It always happens, the snapshot you took of your family has got the dreaded red-eye, but don't worry, with a few simple steps in Photoshop this can easily be remedied. |
 |
| On your layers palette click on the 'Create New Layers' icon to create a new empty layer above the background layer. |
 |
|
From the blend modes drop down menu in the
layers palette select Color as shown above.
|
 |
| Make sure that Black is the foreground colour in the tool box, or press D on the keyboard to restore the default colours. Call up the Airbrush (short cut J) and select a small soft edge brush (see below) roughly about the same size as the red-eye. |
 |
 |
|
Using the Zoom tool (shortcut Z) to get right in close to your subject or using Ctrl + Spacebar, you can now start painting out the red-eye with the airbrush. The great thing about this technique is that it doesn't effect the catchlights which are so important as shown below. |
