I’ve been playing around with a few red-eye reduction techniques. Since I don’t really need the power (and size) of PhotoShop, I use Elements. I have not been pleased with the red-eye tool in the program. It renders the pupil gray instead of black.

Here’s a quick procedure that I came up with that gives satisfactory results:

1. Select the pupil using either the Lasso or Magic Wand tool (If Magic Wand was used, right-click and use "Grow" if necessary to select a slightly larger area)

2. Right-click and select "Feather". Set "Radius" to 1 pixel, then "OK".

3. From the main menu select "Enhance" – "Adjust Color" – "Hue/Saturation"

4. Move the "Saturation" slider to left to desaturate color.

5. Move the "Lightness" slider to the left until desired result is obtained.
