My Photoshop (CS4) Red Eye Correction always makes the eyes a dark blue. ??

What if the person in the photograph has medium brown eyes? How do I get the Red Eye Correction to stop always making the eyes a dark blue? Can't find out how to change the color cast. The software is Photoshop (CS4) for Mac.

It's in the Spot Healing pop-out, but I never use it. There is an option in Camera RAW, but prefer to use a Hue/Saturation layer. Select both pupils with the eliptical marquue tool > Open the H/S layer, and adjust hue, sat, and lightness if required.
or
Open the H/S layer with no selection in place, and use the RGB drop-down and select the Reds. Then adjust hue, sat, lightness. Invert the layer mask, and paint back in with a soft white brush.

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.

IPhone 5 camera makes the eyes glow white

Every photo I take seems to make the eyes glow, - only happend when the flash happens.
I have tried various locations and subjects: the dog, friends and family, they all have glowing eyes is there a problem with the iPhones camera?
Paul

I have a 4S and have seen this. Depending on how the photo is taken, it may or may not be there. I have seen a double flash with the camera and that will reduce it slightly, that is what red eye reduction is for. I"m not sure if there is a difference in the iOS that might cause this, but it can happen in many cameras.

Do you own Illustrator CS3? An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

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.

"Red eye correction" goes beyond the eyeball.

I'm using PSE 3.0, Windows XP Home. Occasionally, when I try to apply "red eye correction", the "darkening" effect is applied to areas of the cheeks, eye brow, or forehead (as well as the eye). My guess is: The subject's skin color or "cosmetic makeup color" is within the range of spectra that "red eye correction" is sensitive to and therefore interprets that it too, needs darkening. How can I "mask off" or otherwise prevent PSE from going beyond the eyes of the subject in it's quest to "eradicate red eye"?

Larry,
I only have PSE 2 so I don't know how the red eye correction tool works in PSE 3, but I'm guessing you can select just the eye (and maybe feather 1 or 2 pixels) before applying the tool.
You just might skip the red eye tool and do this instead:
- Zoom in to large eye.
- Select the red area and feather.
- Add a Hue/Saturation layer. Select Reds from the Edit menu, move Saturation slider left.

Edit in Photoshop CS4... does not open the selected file.

Sorry if this is an old topic, but I can not seem to find the answer and I was hoping someone here might know.
When in Lightroom (2.2 or 2.3) if I select "Edit in Photoshop CS4..." or any of those dropdown commands, Photoshop opens....and that is it. The selected photo from Lightroom is NOT opened/merged/panoramaized. duuh. frustrating.
So I re-installed Lightroom, updated to the 2.3, re-installed CS4. all with the same effect that Photoshop opens, but the selected file is NOT opened.
Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

When you remove the obvious,
that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
Short version:
When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
ie.
if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
X
Y
all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
Best,
Jim

Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
Plug-ins that failed to load:
   DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION - - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
   Connections
   Kuler
This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

I have photoshop CS4. How do I set the it to save my photos as CMYK "Uncoated" US Swop?

I have Photoshop CS4. How do I set it to save my photos as CMYK Uncoated US Swop for newsprint on a webpress. I can't find the proper setting, only coated.

It's usually in Edit > Color Settings and next to CMYK Workspace. As I understand it, depending on the Printing company, they would just ask for the file as Adobe RGB and handle the conversion to their offset press. Is this how they want you to prepare your photos?

SIRI finds the correct number, makes the call and then immediately disconnects.

If I use Siri to make a call the system usually finds the correct number then makes the call and then immediately disconnects. This is really frustrating.
I have a 2010 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara with a Pioneer system with built-in bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

That's interesting. Try saying "Call Mobile" instead of just "Mobile". If you're still having trouble, try hard booting your phone holding down Power + Home until the device reboots.

Uploading photos - always makes the photos smaller for some reason

I have attempted to upload my photos from iphoto to print sites such as fotki.com. I was successful at doing this until I bought iLife 2006. Since I upgraded iphoto now when I upload the photos it uploads the photos in low resolution like 180x240 which is NOT suitable for printing. I have tried to get fotki.com to help but they say I'm uploading low resolution photos - its not their site's fault. I have tried to figure it out on my Apple but can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Kaj:
That's true. iPhoto stores the comments and keywords in the Libary6.iPhoto database file. There is a way, a one time use of a demo version of iView MediaPro, to write the keywords and comments to the original file. Otherwise, what's assigned in iPhoto stays in iPhoto.
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.

OS X Mavericks made dock background color too light to easily see app indicator lights. Can I make the dock background darker?

Can I make the dock background color darker to see app. indicator lights easier. Installing OS X Mavericks made it too light.

Hacking around, I found a fix to my own zombified terminal problem.
Control-click (right-click) on the tab to the terminal and one of the options is 'MOVE TAB TO NEW WINDOW'
On moving the terminal tab to the new window, the old terminal window is responsive again (Allowing scrolling to old error messages, etc.)
You have to do this for each tab in the zombified window one-at-a-time
but you can drag all new windows back together as tabs to a single window if you feel like it.
Before trying this, I tried a lot of the other click options and the other options were as unresponsive as the whole terminal window with the problem.

Installing photoshop cs4 on an iMac and getting the error code licensing for this product has stopped working. what do i do?

have cs4 on a disk and installing on a new computer with no disk drive. dragged application file onto a stick and transferred to the new computer. but am getting this error code when i try to open. any ideas? thanks for the help

Hello,
what do you think about download a PS trial version, install it and then use your SerialNumber to active it.
You could use http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html AND note the: "Very Important Instructions" mentioned there.

Photoshop CS4 Crashes when using shift and the move tool

Please help!
Everytime I click on a layer with the move tool while holding the shift button (so I can constrain the movement), photoshop crashes. I get a message that says, "Could not use the move tool because of a program error". And then photoshop just shuts down.
Now I can use the move tool without holding shift, but as soon as I hit the shift button and try them together . . . crash!
What is going on?
I'm wondering if it has something to do with an updated video driver that I installed yesterday. It wasn't doing this before that.
Suggestions anyone? Please Please Please Help!

Have you tried rolling back the driver to see if the fault disappears?
You could also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Dreamweaver CS3 not displaying all PhotoShop CS4 galleries correctly

I maintain and support a camera club website for the Peoria Camera Club in Peoria, Illinois.
I recently added 6 new galleries to the website.
These are the current galleries: Nature 1,Nature 2,Nature 3,Nature 4,Open 1,Open 2,Open 3,Open 4,Open 5,PJ 1,Creative 1,Creative 2,
Urban Landscape.
These galleries are located at
http://www.peoriacameraclub.com/competitions/Gallerys/gallery.html
Here's the story:
Running a browser test on my local location everything works perfectly and all of the images are accessible and work smoothly.
After uploading to my server, a number of galleries are not working correctly.
I have followed this scenario.......
All of the galleries seem to be functioning correctly except for Nature 4, Open 3, Open 4, and Creative 2.
I recreated Creative 2 from scratch and re-uploaded with no effect
First, all of these galleries worked in the testing mode using internet explorer on my laptop.
All of the images appeared and ran perfectly.
Unfortunately, the four previously mentioned galleries displayed a smaller number of images although the count on the page is correct.
I’ve re-uploaded the galleries using Dreamweaver including the gallery html page.
That accomplished nothing; things were the same.
I used Filezilla to re-upload the 4 galleries plus the gallery html page.
Filezilla runs a lot faster that Dreamweaver.
Again, nothing changed.
I have no explanation why the majority of the galleries are working and a few are incomplete.
These galleries were created in PhotoShop CS4 Bridge.
I have searched the web and the forums at Adobe and NAPP and other bread crumbs from the net.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jim

It seems to fail at the point where there are missing images. For example, Nature 4 fails to display thumbnails in image 11, which according to its group.xml is the same as the following 404 Not Found images.
/competitions/Gallerys/Nature%204/resources/images/thumb/GREAT%20BLUE%20HERON%20&%20CHICK%20by%20Rich%20Seeman.jpg
HTTP/1.x 404 Object Not Found
/competitions/Gallerys/Nature%204/resources/images/medium/GREAT%20BLUE%20HERON%20&%20CHICK%20by%20Rich%20Seeman.jpg
HTTP/1.x 404 Object Not Found
And likewise for Open 3. It falls apart on the third image according to its groups.xml file and that corresponds exactly with these missing images.
/competitions/Gallerys/Open%203/resources/images/thumb/03%20Birdhouse%20&%20Flowers%20by%20Veronica%20Anderton.jpg HTTP/1.x 404 Object Not Found
HTTP/1.x 404 Object Not Found
/competitions/Gallerys/Open%203/resources/images/medium/03%20Birdhouse%20&%20Flowers%20by%20Veronica%20Anderton.jpg HTTP/1.x 404 Object Not Found
HTTP/1.x 404 Object Not Found
I didn't check the other two galleries, but it is probably similar. I am guessing that you somehow forgot to upload those images or they got uploaded to the wrong folders.
If you have FireFox, I recommend getting the LiveHTTP Headers and/or FireBug add-ons to help find these 404 Not Found headers.
BTW, I realize you already have a ton of files online, but you should be aware that it is not considered safe to use spaces in filenames or directory names. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
