Problems with previously applied red eye corrections

I imported my Aperture 2 library and see that some images that had red eye correction before aren't corrected in AP3. It isn't universal and sometimes one person's eye would be corrected while the other would be red, even though the adjustments indicated both had been corrected.
Anyone else see this?

Me, too. I tried reapplying the red eye on a couple of pictures. After I clicked on the red eye tool, my previous red eye corrections appeared as the target icons on the pictures, but the red eyes didn't get corrected. There doesn't seem to be any way I can correct them, now.

"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.

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.

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 ).

Aperture makes eye purple with Red Eye Correction tool. Why? Bug?

http://www.hvmediasolutions.com/images/picture1.png
As you can see with the above picture, Aperture does not do red eye well. iPhoto gets it right, actually as well as Photoshop CS4.
Any suggestions? Or is this a bug?
And yes I could use Photoshop every time, but I am trying to do as much as I can in Aperture.
Thanks,
Ed

I have an old camera, Nikon Cool Pix 3100 and save my photos to .jpg. Yes I know, time to upgrade.
I capture straight into Aperture.
The thing that bugs me, iPhoto 08 gets it right, better than Photoshop. Aperture, since version 1, has always given me purple red eye cast on both Intel and Power PC Mac Book Pro's. Since iPhoto can get it right, Aperture should be able to.
Currently I use Pixelmator and desaturate with the brush tool for the best results.
By the way Lightroom 2 desaturates the eye to a light grey with it's red eye tool.
Different results with 4 different applications. I would love to just use one.

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 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 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.
Details are on Apple's Aperture trouble-shooting page.
You might also flush your NVRAM.

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.

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.

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.

Improving Red Eye Correction

I read this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6517094&#6517094 that talked about a trick w/red eye correction in iPhoto 6.
In eye photo 7 they've now included a "size" option in both retouch and red eye. Very cool. But, there's still no intensity control (like in Aperture 2). Does anyone know any "secrets" to getting intensity control on red eye or retouch? I tried the key strokes in the thread above for iPhoto6, but they don't seem to work now for iPhoto 7 (i.e. iPhoto 08)

That feature has been removed. A good feature suggestion via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. I have found that using the Retouch tool over the redeye correction can reduce the intensity of the correction. I set the tool to the same size as the correction and applied just once. It seemed to help the really black eyes that sometimes occur.
