I’m sorry. I’ve followed the help to fixing red-eye and still people end up with grey irises. Am I doing it wrong?

Here’s a quick procedure that I came up with that gives good 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.

That works very well. Easily the best results so far. Thanks! I’m still experimenting but it’s very good for precise red-eye pupils (not irises from my earlier posting) but when the whole eye seems to be red then it’s harder to get results.
