Red Eye removal - Green Eye removal

My subjects are mostly people on horses, and sometimes red eye removal is necessary and works fine. However, horses (as well as most other animals) have a differently colored retina, so I'd need a Green Eye Removal. Would it be possible to make the Red Eye Removal color-independent, or would it stop working then?

  • Red eye removal tool not only for RED eyes

    Hello,
    I posted this already one or two years ago:
    As wildlife photographers we encounter the "red eye problem" in different ways:
    Some birds or mammals have a blue reflection or even a green reflection - or other colors.
    The redy eye removal tool won't work here. I am sure that there are some other wildlife photographers,
    who have the same problem (we use sometimes flash to get rid of shadows in harsh daylight or to
    get more brilliant colors in dull light).
    Solution: Don't reduce the tool to red eyes, but let us select the color, which should be removed!
    Thanks for hearing us!

    Yes, it should be there under the same icon as the Healing brush

  • Could Lightroom's Red Eye Removal BE more useless?

    Version 1.3 and we STILL cant have a red eye removal tool that works half as good as iPhoto's.
    My goodness!

    When it works, it works really well.
    Issues:
    It doesn't always detect the red eye.
    It doesn't do well on "steel eye" or "green eye" on animals.
    Sometimes it won't go dark enough, even on max.
    There are workarounds for all three issues, and I've used every one of them.

  • Red Eye removal for pets

    Hi,
    I'm using PE 4.0 and have been unable to get the red-eye removal tool to work with pet eye. I suspect it doesn't work because pets reflect yellow, green and even blue light instead of red. Is this a known limitation? Is there an alternative method in PE for removing pet eye?
    Thanks,
    Tom S.

    Thanks for the tips. I searched for Wendy Williams' suggestions in the forum but haven't found them.
    I've been experimenting with both of Mark's procedures in the meantime. Method 2 gave the best results when I modified it to preserve the glint in my pet's eyes. The modified Method 2 (using PE 4.0) is as follows.
    1) Use Layer 1 to preserve the glint:
    a) Select the background layer and use the magic wand tool to select the saturated white glint of each eye. I like the "add to the selection" option here - saves time. Copy the pixels selected and then turn off the selections (Select|Deselect).
    b) Create a new layer (Layer 1, w/ defaults of normal blending and 100% opacity), select it and paste.
    2) Use the brush tool as in your Method 2 to black out the pupils:
    a) Create a new layer (Layer 2, w/ defaults of normal blending and 100% opacity) as the middle layer and select it.
    b) Set foreground color to default black (or use the eyedropper tool to pickup a natural dark shade near the pupil from the Background Layer).
    c) Paint over the pupil in Layer 2. Layer 1 should be over Layer 2 so that the glint is preserved despite the painting of Layer 2.
    I did find a bug in PE 4.0 when doing this. In panning a zoomed picture from within the editor, I somehow got the layers to be out of sync with each other. When this happened I needed to start over.
    A trick that doesn't work is to use Enhance|Adjust Color to change the pupils to red and then use the Auto Red Eye fix. What happens is that the tool does not recognize the color of animal eye irises and the tool changes them into pupils with disturbing results.

  • "Red-eye" removal for dogs

    The red-eye removal tool works great in people, but not in dogs or other animals, mostly because their eyes don't reflect red.
    What is the best way to do this? Is there another program that will do this automatically?

    Basically humans have one reflective layer and animals have two. Here is an explanation I found with a Google search:
    "The consistently red color of the human reflex derives from the red blood pigment hemoglobin. Light from the flash picks up the red from blood vessels encountered during its bounce off the retina, just as reflected sunlight picks up the color of a red sweater.
    Why, then, do animal reflexes come in so many other colors and seldom in red? The answer lies in the tapetum lucidum, a highly reflective, variably pigmented membrane backing the retina in animals with good night vision (including dogs, cats and most domestic animals) but entirely absent in humans. The tapetum lies directly behind the retinal photoreceptors. (Nova's The Nocturnal Eye nicely illustrates the anatomy).
    The tapetum enhances low-light vision by giving retinal photoreceptors a 2nd crack at any incoming light that manages to escape absorption (detection) on the first pass. In dogs, at least, an additional boost may come from tapetal fluorescence, which shifts incoming wavelengths into better alignment with the peak spectral sensitivities of the photoreceptors. Tapetal pigments surely come into play here.
    When tapetal pigment is present, its color dominates the color of a given animal's reflex. Tapetal color loosely follows coat color. For example, black coats and green reflexes tend to go together. Most dogs and cats show a blue reflex as their eyes mature in the first 6-8 months of life. Pigment-poor animals like blue point Siamese cats with no tapetal pigmentation show a red reflex for the same reason humans do."
    Hope this is useful/helpful/just interesting!

  • 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?

  • Can I remove red eye in Final Cut Pro X?

    I've imported over a thousand pictures from iPhoto of my trip to California, and was wondering if I could remove red eye from photos without having to go back to iPhoto, fix the red eye, then reimport.

    matthew97 wrote:
    OK, I thought he was saying that since consumer apps already do it, a professional app has to have the feature. Anyways, I guess I'll just have to reimport it.
    Many of the Pro users are (rightly IMO) very ticked off with FCP X as it no longer supports many important Pro features that they use daily and is currently unsuitable for use by many for commercial/professional work.
    (For hobbyists/amateurs, myself included, it will probably do very nicely as a step up from basic video editors available on the Mac and at a fraction of the price of the old suite which I couldn't justify buying).

  • 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,

  • BUG: Red Eye Removal on JPGs + Auto commit to XMP

    There seems to be a bug in 1.3.1 when using the Red Eye Removal tool on JPGs and auto commit metadata to file option is selected:
    Can anyone confirm?
    This is what I've written to Adobe in a bug report:
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    When using "Red Eye Removal Tool" on jpgs and in File->Catalog Settings->Metadata the option "Automatically write changes into XMP" is selected this will end up in a loop reading and writing metadata. The picture is always in status: "checking metadata". "Metadata Date" of file is changing from time to time because Lightroom is always saving metadata to file (modified date of the jpg file itself also changes, so something is written to file).
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. in File->Catalog Settings->Metadata check option "Automatically write changes into XMP"
    2. select a JPG picture and go to Develop Module
    3. use the Red Eye Removal Tool
    Results:
    Endless loop by Lightroom trying to save this change into Metadata of JPG file
    Expected results:
    Either it is not possible to store this change in metadata: then don't touch the file.
    Or it is possible, then this needs to be fixed so it is written/read correctly from file.

    The red eye tool works by selecting the whole eye not just the pupil. If it still does not work try lightening or darkening the image to gaiain some more colour. If that does not work you can clone form one of the eyes that has worked.
    Hope this helps you out.........

  • Red Eye removal tool bug

    Hi everybody,
    I have a big problem using the red eye removal tool:
    When trying to select the area around the eye to correct, LR randomly creates a selection rectangle of a different size and at a different location.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Example:
    + I activate the red eye removal tool
    + I drag the cursor to create a selection around the red eye to correct, taking care to have the center of the rectangle more or less in the red area of the eye
    + Release the mouse button
    + the selection rectangle disappears for a split second and appears again at a different location, for example around the eye brow or somewhere under the eye in a 20-30 times smaller size than what I selected.
    Is this a failed attempt of artificial intelligence to properly recognize the area to correct or simply a bug?
    BTW. the file in question is a JPG, with 2 people, red eye correction worked fine on 3 of the eyes (selection rectangle stayed where I created it) and fails on every attempt on the fourth (LR restarted and so on).

    The red eye tool works by selecting the whole eye not just the pupil. If it still does not work try lightening or darkening the image to gaiain some more colour. If that does not work you can clone form one of the eyes that has worked.
    Hope this helps you out.........

  • Red eye removal when not red in Elements 7

    I have numerous human face photos in which the eye is not truly red, but, in fact are light pink, white or some yellow.  Also, in some cases there is red eye and light pink in the same eye; the red eye tool will only change that portion that is red and does not change the other color.  None of the red eye tools seem to pick those colors up.  How do I solve this problem?

    Try selecting the eye and applying a Hue/Saturation adjustment. This can be done via Enhance > Adjust Color > Hue/Saturation or by adding a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. In the H/S dialog box select in the pull-down list the appropriate color you want to remove, and move the Saturation slider left.

  • I get Black Eye instead of removing the RED EYE.

    The old "red eye" system was sooo simple & easy to use. I am probably doing something stupid. On auto it seems to do nothing. Manual makes the eyes black, bad enough BUT if the spot is to big I get a big black eye. It seems the system is designed to cover up the red with black instead of removing the RED. Can this be true. I hope not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Warren

    Warren:
    No, you're not doing anything wrong. There are types of redeye that iPhoto just doesn't handle well at all. When there's a lot of yellow or orange in the color it just doesn't work as intended. The manual way also just puts a black disk over the eye.
    Try using the redeye tool in manual and then apply the Retouch tool, sized to the black circle, to the the black area with one click. That can soften the effect a bit.
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Red eye removal in PS Touch?

    Is there a dedicated tool for red eye removal in Photoshop touch?  I've looked around and not found anything so far. I keep looking because I won't believe that such a common tool is not found in such a well-known, used, and respected photo editing software. It has to be somewhere!  Thanks in advance.

    Hi, probably a stupid question but how do I change the colour of the eye using the red eye tool?
    Thanks
    You don't!
    Make a selection round the iris; create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and play with the hue slider.
    That's a quick and dirty method, there are plenty of other ways.
