IPhoto 9.4.2 - Unable to Fix Red-Eye

Since upgrading to iPhoto 11  v 9.4.2 with OS 10.8.3, I am unable to Auto-Fix Red-Eye in my photos.
And even the Manual fix is erratic.
This compares very unfavourably with the ease of dealing with red-eye in previous versions of iPhoto/Mountain Lion.
There are no unrecognized faces involved.
I did delete the preference file com.apple.iPhoto.plist in my Home Folder/Library/Preferences folder.
I could not find a Cache.db cache file in Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder to delete.
I have Rebuilt the library using Control-Click to open iPhoto as well as by using iPhotoLibrary Manager.
No improvement in the ability to get rid of Red-Eyes!
Appreciate any suggestions.

Just talked to Apple Support for iPhoto
Auto-Fix Red-Eye is not working in iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.2!!
It is a bug that will be corrected in an upcoming update..no info available when this will occur!!

  • Auto Fix Red-Eye in Aperture?

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie to Aperture and I was just trying to figure out where in Aperture can I fix red-eye automatically [similar to how it is done in iPhoto 11]? I realize that I can fix the red eyes manually, but is there a simple button that I can push that will automatically fix the red eyes in a photograph? This feature is really nice in iPhoto 11 as it will fix 99% of the red-eyes, etc. Just hoping there is a similar feature in Aperture.
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Thanks for the response Frank. I was afraid that this may be the answer. No issue, I'm just surprised that it's not available especially with all the bells and whistles that Aperture offers.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • 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.

  • When using 'Fix Red-Eye' or 'Retouch' the circle tool isn't showing

    When using 'Fix Red-Eye' or 'Retouch' in iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3), the circle tool isn't showing any longer. Only the normal arrow cursor. It still works fine, I just can't see the size of the circle against the photo.
    I've tried restarting iPhoto and the whole Mac, but no luck.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Atomatic Red Eye Fix

    When I download pictures into Photoshop 6 - the program immediately starts "fixing" red eye.  As a result I ended up with black spots on some of the photos.  I would like to turn off the auto feature and fix the red eye pics myself.  How do I turn off the auto red eye fix feature?

      Launch the Organizer and press Ctrl+G
    In the Downloader click the Advanced Dialog button and then you can uncheck red-eye and other auto-fixes.
     

  • 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.

  • Red-eye!!!

    I am unable to reduce red-eye in my photos. I can't select the red-eye option because it is greyed out. In Preferences, I've changed to the Edit option 'when clicking on the photo twice' - but still can select the red-eye option.
    I have been able to reduce red-eye previously- what's the problem now? Do I have to sign up for the Life app to reduce red-eye?

    You are welcome. Glad you got it working.
    When I use the red eye in iPhoto I find it help to slide the zoom all the way in - max magnification.
    That makes it easier to frame just the red eye you want to correct

  • 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!

    In LR 4, the tools seemed so much more forgiving.  In LR 5, it is incredible sensitive.
    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 removal too dark

    Is there a way in iPhoto to lighten the color that the red-eye removal tool uses to replace the red? On many photos the black is too dark and look unnatural. I can accomplish this in photoshop but I was trying to save some time by using iPhoto.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

    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".

  • Tricky red-eye using Remove Spots tip

    I just ran across a way to fix red-eye in a case where one eye refuses to be grabbed by the red-eye tool.
    The right eye worked fine, and I was able to simply select it and have the red-eye reduced. The left eye would not take for some reason. Lightroom just was not finding what it needed in order for the tool to work, even with a model looking directly into the camera lens.
    I tried applying some modest tweaks to balance out the shot, along with a bit more sharpening. Still the red-eye tool would not grab that second eye.
    So, I chose the Remove Spots tool and made the tool about as big as the pupil, selected the centre of the troublesome eye and dragged the selection it should use the the other (corrected) eye.
    Voila! Two eyes that looked the same.

    Clever idea, John. This trick will come in handy!
    Alexander.
