Impossible to save reduction of red eye

Last Saturday I installed iLife 05 in my mac and I checked the program discovering it was impossible to save the reduction of red eye: I could edit the photo and apparently the program saved the changes, but when I re opened the photo the reduction of red eye was missing.
After an advise of this forum I checked that the files of the photos I edited were unlocked.
Could it be a problem of configuration hardware of my mac?
Or could it be a problem related to my digital camera (Pentax Optio 330 GS)?
If it is a problem of configuration, how can I remove iPhoto 5 and return to iPhoto 4 that have always worked well?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Antonino

Antonino,
Have you checked to see if any other graphic program can remove the red eye first? If another graphic program cannot remove the red eye, then it would point to the camera or the files the camera produces. I am sure someone here will check for you if you don't have another graphic program.
Now after you have done that and still want to return to iPhoto 4, here are the instructions.
Revert to an older version of iPhoto

Red eye reduction won't save corrections

I have tried numerous to save changes of red eye reduction on a certain photo.
The correction is made but when I click the "Done" button the change is not saved and the original photo with red eye remains. It seems to work fine with all other photos here to fore.
What is the problem?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This could be a file permissions issue. Download BatchMod from

And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

Saving red eye reduction

appears to save red eye reduction but it doesn't save. i follow the instructions: 1) open the photo in an album in edit mode 2)select red eye reduction tool 3)remove red eye 4)turn off red eye reduction tool 5)click "done". system says it's saving. when i check the red eye is still there.

Stephanie,
Welcome to the Apple Discuccions.
The first and easiest fix to try is to delete the iPhoto preference file. Close iPhoto. In the Finder, look inside Home/Library/Preferences. Find a file named com.apple.iPhoto.plist and drag it to the Trash. Launch iPhoto. It will create a new pref file, and your preferences will be reset to their defaults. Change them back to your liking. Try to edit a photo and see if it sticks now. If not, look to see if the file is locked.
Photos, Get Info brings up the iPhoto info. You need the Finder's Info. Right-click on the photo's thumbnail from within iPhoto and select "Show File" from the pop-up menu. A Finder window should then open up with the photo already selected. Type Command-I (or click the "More Info..." button below the thumbnail in column view) to bring up the Finder's info about that file.
The top section of the info window is called General. The last thing in that section is a little box by the word Locked. If there's an x in the box, click to remove it. You can also look at the bottom of the Info box, at the section called Ownership & Permissions. Next to "You can" it should say "Read & Write." Open the Details section below that to see who has Ownership of the 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?

Has red eye reduction improved in iPhoto 8.0

Is red eye reduction any better in iPhoto '08 than it was in previous versions?
I'm currently using iPhoto 6, and when I use red eye reduction it often makes a big gray splotch over the whole eye, including the eyelids! It's just very inaccurate and make the pictures look almost worse than they did with the red eye.
Is iPhoto '08 any better at this, or should I turn to another tool like Photoshop Elements? Is there any freeware that would do it?

The only freeware that I know of that might do the job as well as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements is Gimp. It's an open source application that is much like Photoshop but requires installing Apple's Xcode 11 (which is also free). I've not used it but it's touted as being much like Photoshop.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do i delete a photo that is stuck in red eye reduction of the photos app?

I have a photo in the Photos App that is stuck in the Edit Feature. I had accidentally pushed the Red-Eye reduction and it cannot detect any red-eyes.

Have a look here:

Why does my iPhoto red eye reduction tool only give me blue or black blobs in the eyeballs that look completely unacceptable?

Why does my iPhoto red eye reduction tool only give me blue or black blobs in the eyeballs that look completely unacceptable? Automatic mode makes blue blobs that cover iris and even eyelid! Manual mode gives black dots, not at all hte shape of a oerson's iris as seen in a picture.

And again the answer is simply
THere is no fix - that is the way it works - you can post as many times as you want but it will not change the fact that that is the way that iPhoto works
No fix
No work around
It is what it is - nothing more - nothing less

IiPhoto 11 Red-eye Reduction too black

Hey there!
I recently bought a new iMac and when I transferred my stuff over from my precious Mac, it told me I had to update to iPhoto 11.
I did that, but I prefer my previous version of iPhoto (?08)...
The red-eye reduction never seems to have the auto red-eye correct box checked, and when I do it manually, the pupils end up so black, they look ridiculous; they look fake in the context of the other colours and intensities , and kinda spooky!!
I actually hate it now, and want my old version of iPhoto back
Is there some way I can adjust the intensity of the replacement pupil colour?
Or can you tell me how to get the auto box checked??
Thanks.
Nic.

IOS 8 won't save red eye corrections

I have iphone 6 and it won't save red eye edits to photos. I make edits, and they show as done. Then click on "done" and the photo reverts back to original. I tried posting to facebook and emailing, and in both cases the original photo is used not the edited one. Very frustrating, to say the least!
Any suggestions?

IPhoto '11: How can I save my red-eye correction changes?

iPhoto '11: I'm not able to save red-eye correction changes in my photo. In edit mode, the red-eye correction takes place automatically and according to the help documentation, the automatic changes (or manual changes) are saved when I press "Done". However, when I export the photo, the correction is not visible.
Help!

The changes should be applied, after you finish the "Fix Red-Eye" adjustment by pressing "Done".
If the changes do not save, there may be something wrong with the iPhoto Library. Try the First Aid Tools.
Quit iPhoto and launch it again with the key combination ⌥⌘ held down and double clicking the iPhoto icon or your iPhoto library.
Then try all repair options from the first aid panel: Repair Permissions, Repair Database, Rebuild Database.
You'd better back up your iPhoto library, before you try that, if you do not have a working backup.

Red-eye reduction problem

When I use the red eye reduction feature, suddenly it is putting the "fix" on the photo, not on the eye where I click to remove it. Is this a problem anyone else has had and can it fixed? I use iphoto 6.0.4.
Thanks,
Ardelle

Ardelle,
There is a hidden feature that allows you to resize and place the red-eye tool. It works with the Retouch tool, as well.
Type Caps lockControl9
Undo caps lock
Click on Retouch or the Red-Eye Removal tool.
The tab key will toggle between cursor types: a cross or a circle for Red-Eye removal tool, and between darken and lighten in the Retouch tool.
The \[ and \] keys decrease or increase the size accordingly.
NOTE: Using the { and } keys will will change the value next to the circle and that represents the degree of change or intensity that the Retouch tool imparts on each pass. To get a lighter pupil with the red-eye tool, Shift-Click inside the circular cursor.
Thanks to Old Toad for posting that tip.
Regards.

Feature desired for Red Eye Reduction

Currently the Red Eye Reduction tool only allows for darkening the pupil. The effect is somewhat unnatural, particularly when the person has blue or hazel eyes. Is there a plug-in for this tool that enables the user to select the destination eye color?

I finally tried it out, and it does let you pick a color manually. Just load the action, select a foreground color, marquee the iris and run the action. I tried it out on the extreme example on the website (really huge glowing red eyes). You see the results in the right-hand picture below. I used a bright blue on the eye at the left (which resulted in a purple color) and a green on the eye at the right. The results would possibly look more realistic had I used different shades of color and had I been more careful about selecting the iris.
In any case, the results with Photoshop's redeye tool (photo on the left) were pretty realistic looking without any tampering. If you find a good solution, please post it here!

Undo Red-Eye Reduction

I installed Elements a few days ago and chose to let it search my computer for all pictures. It automatically "fixed" the red eyes in all my photos. Now, as I am getting a sec to look at them, I have tons of pictures with green circles (looks like a black eye) and green nostrils. How can I undo the auto red-eye reduction? Is this something that can be done on a case by case basis, or can I just undo it on every picture all at once?

Yes I have that on my photos as well.
How did it happen in the first place please?
Also.... I am fairly new to photoshop (I have purchased Elements 6)
one thing that keeps reoccouring in this forum is the principle of workflow practice. can some one please tell me if the principle is documented anywhere and/or are there courses one can undertake to better understand how to manage this please?

Q: Red eye reduction in Creative Divi Cam 525D

Is there a red eye reduction facility in Creative Divi Cam 525D? I notice that there're only 3 modes for flash: auto, on, and off. Thanks.

Hm, no red eye reduction. Can't rely on 525D to take important indoor pictures requiring flash then.
