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?

Red Eye Removal not working properly

I'm having a problem with the red eye tool. I've done a search of this problem which returned no results.
I have three similar photographs, i.e, taken a few seconds a part at a wedding ceremony. I've corrected the red eye problem on the first file. However, the red eye "dots" REMAIN when I switch to the next files. If I select the red eye tool, I even get the location ovals overlaying the new picture.
Bug?

> It only works on red eye, not bright eye, steel eye, green eye, or any other color.
How about Evil Eye? 8-}
Actually I've had the same problem with Red Eye Removal not working properly. Problem is intermittent and the eye was for sure red.

Red Eye Removal not working

I am using 1.3.1 and started out using the original version of lightroom that was released. I have really enjoyed lightroom. However, the red eye removal tool which worked when I started using lightroom is no longer working. I am having to pull all red eye corrections into "Elements" and that is annoying. When I select the red eye tool and click on the red eye all I get is a beep. I have tried clicking and dragging to select the exact size and that does not work either, just a beep. Does anyone have an answer to my problem?

Red eye reduction not always working

Hi.
On some pictures, I'm having trouble with the red eye reduction. On a few pictures, it worked just fine.
I'm having the most trouble with cats. The eyes aren't red, but bright yellow and nothing seems to happen when I try to use the tool.
Anyone else seeing this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Lennart - good to see you're asking a question in this forum - you're usually the helper (in iMovie)
I've had the same problem with red eye reduction. It generally only works when eyes are red - yellow eyes don't respond to the correction tool (humans and cats). My workaround is to use the clone stamp in Photoshop Elements. Option click on part of an eye that is the right colour (usually dark) then clone to the eye needing correction. With patience and care, usually the eye can be suitably fixed. Zoom in when performing the correction.
In iPhoto preferences you can set Elements (or any editing program) to open automatically when double clicking a photo in iPhoto.
Hope this helps Lennart.

Red eye tool not working

Since I reinstalled Aperture 3 on my new iMac, I cannot get the red eye tool to work. I get the circles around the eyes, but nothing happens... I looked for settings or something, but found nothing to solve my problem...

Yes, I am using the right tool. I have been using this tool in Aperture for a long time. In fact, it works fine on my older iMac. I imported the same photo in both iMacs. It corrects fine on my old iMac (2008), but it does nothing on my new 2013 iMac.
Both are running the same version of Aperture (3.5) and both systems are also running on Mavericks.
I noticed a difference in the build of the digital camera RAW, but I would be surprised that that would influence a feature like the red eye tool...

Red eye function not working correctly - big black spot

On my old mac I never had a problem with this feature. Now, when I hit the red eye button, a green dot appears on the icon and I get the croos hairs on the screen. I select the eye to change and it leaves a huge black/grey spot round the eye. Looks like an ink spot and it's quite large. What is going on here? Thanks
Matthew

Judy:
To get closer just move the slider at the bottom to the right. Then you'll need to hold down the space bar to drag the picture till the area you want is in view.
Regarding the green dot, that's a new one. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also emptying the User/Library/Caches/iPhoto folder wouldn't hurt either.
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.

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.

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

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.

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
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

Red eye reduction technology failure in N8

hi,guys it has been observed that red eye reduction technology in N8 has no significant results even in high ambient light.

The main cause of red-eye is the location of the flash in relation to the camera lens. In the N8's case it is far too close to the lens so you will get a significant amount of light bounce back to the lens in a more or less direct line, thus producing a red eye effect. The red-eye reduction mode attempts to lessen this effect by activating the flash to constrict the subjects pupils before the picture is taken. However, this doesn't always work as some people will either blink or look away during the pre-flash period.
The N8's camera may be the greatest seen on any mobile phone but it is not perfect.
If you do need to take portrait shots in low light with flash, have your subject/s look slightly away from the camera rather than directly at it.
All the best.
Ray

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.

Eagle eyes web not working iOS 6

i updated my iphone 3g to ios 6, i have a problem because eagle eyes web not working, appear message that push video is not compatible

I would do as what Diavovex suggested:

Once you have completed this, ipad will reboot, connect again to your Wi-Fi and then try to Reset imessage again. Just make sure your Apple ID and password are ok ...... try log in to Apple Store and if this is not an issue then I don't see why imessage cannot connect?
