IPhoto 6 Red Eye Corrections Do Not Remain Saved

Can anyone tell me why photos that have been corrected for red-eye and saved revert back to red eye when uploaded to my blog? The photo in my library is corrected, but when I uploaded it to my blog it was back to the way it was before fixing. Is there a bug in iPhoto 6? How do I fix this? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you are uploading the original, uncorrected photo. If you are choosing the photos directly via the iPhoto Library Folder, then that is how you are grabbing the wrong version. This method is not recommended for several reasons. First, because it is inconvenient to wade through the folder system and find the correct version. Second and more importantly, because any changes you make to the files and folders directly inside that folder will damage your iPhoto library.
Instead, export the photos first. When you export, iPhoto automatically gives you the correct (edited) version. The easiest way is to select the photos and simply drag to a folder your desktop. Select that folder when you upload to your blog or other website, then trash it (the photos are safe inside your library). Another method is to select the photos and do File > Export > File Export to a desktop folder. This method allows you to rename the exported files and resize them for better performance on the website.

Iphoto red eye correction

IPhoto 11 (9.4.3) doesn't auto-fix red eye at all. Manually, it puts a small grey area inside the pupil, which then becomes a very large, very black spot when the operation is completed ! Looks terrible !! Happens on all photos (I use my IPhone to take pictures).   Any help?
Thanks,
Eileen

I was having the same problem with Version 9.4.3   It does the same with V 9.2.3. iPhoto 8.1.2 does a better job on eyes that are no facing the camera directlhy. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again. Togle the Auto check box on and off and watch the problem eye. It worked on one person for me but not on another who was not facing the camera directly.
Report your problems to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Red eye correction not saving, Red eye correction not saving

I open iphoto and try to auto-fix red eye in one picture but it's not an option. So I manually fix it but once I hit "done" the red eye correction does not save. I have iphoto'11.

I hit "done" the red eye correction does not save.
Perhaps your library is corrupted. Try to repair your iPhoto library.
Launch iPhoto with the key combination ⌥⌘ held down and try the first aid options "repair permissions" and "repair database", if necessary also "rebuild database". Before you do any repairing, make sure that the backup of your iPhoto library is up to date.

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 correction

I am a brand new pse user, trying to understand the 'versions' concept. Everything I have read suggests saving your edits as a version of the original. Would there be a downside to overwriting the original with red eye corrected version instead of another copy?

Yes, particularly if you are using the auto red eye tool, which often corrects bright white teeth, light soures, etc. in place of the red eyes. If you really want to lose the original (not recommended) you can use the red eye tool in the editor and set PSE to save over the existing file. But a couple of years from now, when you have more sophisticated skills to use rather than the red eye tool, you may regret not being able to go back and redo them.

Red-Eye Correction Malfunctioning

When I try to use the Red-Eye correction tool in iPhoto, it either doesn't work at all, or it will correct a random spot of the picture instead of the eyes. Any clues?

Try this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

Red eye correction creates a black eye

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6 (322) and when I use red eye reduction the command creates a blue-black blob of color that not only covers the red eye, it covers the eye socket and then some. I have used red eye reduction hundreds of times and this is something new. Any ideas out there?
Thanks
Ken

Ken,
There is a hidden feature to control the red-eye and retouch tools:
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.
The keystrokes are awkward at first, but I've found that with this method I get better red-eye correction with iPhoto than I do with Photoshop Elements 4.
Regards.

IPhoto Red Eye performing poorly

This latest version of iPhoto seems to have "backtracked" in the red eye functionality. The previous version seems to work MUCH better. Is this a known issue that is going to be addressed, or should I revert to the previous version of iPhoto. Red eye is a real problem with new digital cameras and bright children's eyes! Following all instructions, as well as tips here, the red eye is not covered, even after multiple "clicks"; the situation seems to get worse. Ideas? Patch coming? Or version downgrade?

John:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. One suggestion that has been posted as a way to get a better red eye correction is to use the cursor to create a small box around the eye and then click on the red eye button, like in the iPhoto 4 days. I've found that you have to be careful of how much area you select. If there's any red tint in the surrounding area it all gets converted.

Has anyone experience a bug with red eye correction in LR 5?

No matter what I do, anytime I try to use the red-eye correction tool, I get the message "Unable to find red eye". Even in pictures where the red eye is huge and clearly visible. Has anything changed in LR 5 that would cause this? I have Red Eye Correction enabled. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm a rather new LR user, so I'd be grateful for someone pointing me in the right direction before I file a bug report.
Thanks!

I don't think there have been any algorithmic changes in red-eye, Lr5 vs. Lr4 (certainly none mentioned by Adobe, nor in Victoria Bampton's very thorough list of changes in Lr5, nor that I've noticed in the forums...), so if it is behaving differently (you sure it's not you? ), then it sounds like something is a-wonk now in your Lr5 (or was a-wonk before in your Lr4 ).

Red eye correction in elements 12 corrects everything but the eye. Had this problem on previous Mac.

How can I get the elements 12 red eye correction to target the iris? I can correct photo in Iphoto program in Mac os x, version 10.9.2.

Drag a box around it with the tool.

Red eye correction generating strange grid pattern in viewer

Hi everyone,
For the last week Aperture 3.5.1 has been adding a strange grid with a repeating pattern in my images when I edit them in the viewer. Here is a screenshot:
The strange pattern is near the top right and appears to be of my son's eye. The pattern appears in multiple images and always seems to be one of the eyes of the subject! It occurs when I use the red eye correction.
If I toggle off certain adjustments, not just the red-eye adjustment, the pattern goes away. However, once I turn on certain adjustments the pattern returns or moves to another part of the screen! If I do turn off red eye correction the grid goes away.
So let me summarize here:
If I use red eye correction and I use ANY other adjustments then I will get the strange eye grid.
It appears if I don't use the red eye correction the eye grid does not appear.
I have tried repairing permissions, repairing the library, rebuilding the database, and reinstalling Aperture. I've also tried moving the library to another mac and I can replicate the issue on that mac as well, however, not as often? I also downloaded memtest and ran it on my mac and it said all my ram is fine. I have also tried shortening my library and I can duplicate the issue in a small library with few pictures.
I'd really like to use the red eye correction without the strange grid! When I export the images the grid does not appear.
I am using a Mac Pro mid 2010 with 14 gig of memory. The second machine I tried is a macbook pro laptop using 8 gig. I'm really at a loss here. Please help! Thanks again

Sounds like you have done everything but delete your user preferences. This often resolves UI issues.

Red eye correction doesn't work

I am sure I am missing something but I can't make the red eye correction work.
On MacBook in the Develop module, I click on the red eye which becomes red. I draw the square around the pupil but I can't make it to stay there. I try clicking on "pupil size" and "darken" but they don't respond. What am I missing? Thanks for you advice

<blockquote>In the ADOBE Photoshop Help section it states: By clicking directly in the center of the pupil you will redeuce the "red" from the eyes. Do not drag the tool across the eye. If you need zoom in a little to cover more visual area of the eye so you can center the cross hairs.</blockquote>What's got Photoshop to do here? LR's red eye tool works differently.

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

Canon PS ELPH 150- How to override Red Eye Correction

How do you override the "Red Eye Correction" when it displays, "cannot be modified"? Is there no "manual" way to correct red eye?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try the software approach. You'll find you can correct red eye, horizons, exposure etc very quickly once you play around with Picasa. I use it for the majority of my editing & I have to edit many 1000's of photos per year.

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.
