Automatic Red Eye doesn't work

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5.  Why doesn't the automatic red-eye edit work anymore?

John,
This face is facing about 45o to one side, but there is plenty of eye and red to read.
And, you just reminded me that my question was only half answered.
If I do get one eye working, by boxing the entire eye or more, then how do I do the 2nd eye?
The directions say to "click the selection". Does that mean to highlight the box around the first eye and then box the 2nd eye to get the exact same size and darkness settings?
After boxing the first eye and getting some result (before all these messages) I was -not- able to draw a box around the 2nd eye at all. The box disappeared and the size and darkness sliders were transparent. I could re-highlight the first box to a white border, but nothing worked with the 2nd eye -until- I had quit LR and returned later to do more work.

  • Import Automatic Red Eye removal

    I just installed PSE6 and when I started importing pictures I saw that the option "remove red eye automatically" was checked.
    Is this feature non-destructive like in Lightroom or will it alter the actual image?
    I can't find any info on this and I don't want to ruin the original if the automatic red eye is unsuccessful or not to my satisfaction.

    Right... Also its time consuing it will check all the images you import...
    Sometimes try to fix red areas even those are not eyes.
    But its useful when you have clicked lot of people photographs in night where probablity of Red-Eye is very high...

  • Automatic red eye correction

    How canI disable automatic red eye correction?

    There are multiple places where you choose to disable automatic red eye correction.
    When you do a Get Photos from Files and Folders, the dialog Window where you select which files or folders contains a checkbox on whether auto red eye fix should be done. I believe that the default was yes but it seems on my system that after unchecking it once that it stays unchecked for subsequent use.
    Similarly, when I did a Get Photos from Camera or card reader, the Photo downloader window had a check box for the Red Eye fix.
    I have not seen any central place to shut off auto red eye for all types of processing.

  • Red Eye Removal not working properly

    I'm having a problem with the red eye tool. I've done a search of this problem which returned no results.
    I have three similar photographs, i.e, taken a few seconds a part at a wedding ceremony. I've corrected the red eye problem on the first file. However, the red eye "dots" REMAIN when I switch to the next files. If I select the red eye tool, I even get the location ovals overlaying the new picture.
    Bug?

    > It only works on red eye, not bright eye, steel eye, green eye, or any other color.
    How about Evil Eye? 8-}
    Actually I've had the same problem with Red Eye Removal not working properly. Problem is intermittent and the eye was for sure red.

  • Red Eye Removal not working

    I am using 1.3.1 and started out using the original version of lightroom that was released. I have really enjoyed lightroom. However, the red eye removal tool which worked when I started using lightroom is no longer working. I am having to pull all red eye corrections into "Elements" and that is annoying. When I select the red eye tool and click on the red eye all I get is a beep. I have tried clicking and dragging to select the exact size and that does not work either, just a beep. Does anyone have an answer to my problem?

  • Red eye tool not working

    Since I reinstalled Aperture 3 on my new iMac, I cannot get the red eye tool to work. I get the circles around the eyes, but nothing happens... I looked for settings or something, but found nothing to solve my problem...

    Yes, I am using the right tool. I have been using this tool in Aperture for a long time. In fact, it works fine on my older iMac. I imported the same photo in both iMacs. It corrects fine on my old iMac (2008), but it does nothing on my new 2013 iMac.
    Both are running the same version of Aperture (3.5) and both systems are also running on Mavericks.
    I noticed a difference in the build of the digital camera RAW, but I would be surprised that that would influence a feature like the red eye tool...

  • Red eye function not working correctly - big black spot

    On my old mac I never had a problem with this feature. Now, when I hit the red eye button, a green dot appears on the icon and I get the croos hairs on the screen. I select the eye to change and it leaves a huge black/grey spot round the eye. Looks like an ink spot and it's quite large. What is going on here? Thanks
    Matthew

    Judy:
    To get closer just move the slider at the bottom to the right. Then you'll need to hold down the space bar to drag the picture till the area you want is in view.
    Regarding the green dot, that's a new one. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also emptying the User/Library/Caches/iPhoto folder wouldn't hurt either.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Red Eye reduction not working

    Iphoto 11
    Red eye reduction does not work, auto is not selectable and circling eye and clikcingh does do anything.
    I have trashed the plist file, repaired permissions and rebuilt the iphoto database. Nothing fixed the problem.
    ANy other ideas I can try ?
    all software updates applied , 10.7.3

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • PSE 4 - Automatic Red-Eye Correction

    When I import photos into the organize, the program automatically fixes the red eye. Is there a way to disable it from automatically correcting the red eye?
    Thanks

    When I click the Get Files button, and choose Camera or Card reader, the
    dialog that opens has a place where I can enable/disable "Automatically Fix
    Red Eyes".

  • Automatic customer service doesn't work

    So I wanted to file a ticket for the problems I have experienced, but that doesn't work
    I get send this button for iOS diagnostics (which by the way takes 30 minutes to load because its a gmail email address), and when I try to press it from my ipad as written in teh instructions, nothing happens. WHy is that?

    I have a similar problem.
    Skype is set to Automatic proxy detection. I often switch between mobile broadband connection and an office network which uses a proxy to allow internet access.
    Skype disconnects after I switch networks, and never reconnects. afterwards All other networked applications works fine afterwards.
    The only way skype will reconnect is when I quit and start skype again.

  • Automatic Red Eye on Import causing major issues

    Hi everyone,
    I am a new user to PSE 7 and the other night I was bringing all my photos into the organizer.  I chose to use the automatic remove red eye on import and to suggest stacks.....everything seemed to go fine, but i noticed after the import that many photos had blue/black blotches on the faces of people near their eyes.  is this some red eye failure of some sort?
    the majority of the ones that this happened to were low quality/low rez pics so I initially chalked it up to that, but i did notice that it did this to some of my high quality high res pics as well.
    so my questions are (1) can this be fixed without redoing the catalog? (2) has anyone else had this happen/ is there something wrong with my install?
    Thanks in advance

    Everyone has this happen, unless they know to turn it off beforehand. (The auto red eye feature has a bad habit of acting like this.) You'll need to disable this in both the photo downloader and the Organizer preferences. Then select the photos with the problem and go to Edit>Version Set>Revert to Original. Luckily, PSE made a version set with your original, so all you need to do is to delete the new versions.
    Since you stacked your photos, you may need to expand the stacks or unstack them to see them all.

  • Automatic security handling doesn't work at all

    Hi all,
    I'm just discovering that the automatic security handling of LV DSC 7.0 doesn't work! That means if I set security options for a control, they won't be applied. Even the VI's in example\lvdsc\security don't work as supposed (and as they did in LV DSC 6.1)!
    Does anyone out there experience the same problems?

    Since logging off and then back on seems to fix the problem it would seem that when LabVIEW is starting it is automatically logging you into an account with access priviledges. You can check what account is automatically logged into by launching LabVIEW and going to Tools>>DSC Module>>Security>>User Info.... You can also set this behavior by logging in as an Administrator and then going to Tools>>DSC Module>>Options and then the Security Preferences button on the Advanced tab.
    Regards,
    JR A.
