I have a photo of three dogs playing but their eyes are reflecting back the flash so they appear silvery-white. I was trying to use the redeye feature to replace the white with dark brown or black so the dogs aren’t so "alien" looking. How do I do this? Nothing was working for me.

Thanks.

The red-eye tool only works on the colour red and so won’t work on your dogs’ discoloured eyes.
Try making a selection of the areas you want to change and then experiment with the ‘hue and saturation’ controls.

I use Elements 3 mainly and Paint Shop Pro 7 for one or two things which Elements cannot do. Removing animal red eye is one of the things I use PSP for. The red eye tool has animal or human red eye options. I think PSP7 could be picked up fairly cheaply now and you may consider it worth it if you regularly take flash photos of animals.

It is OT I suppose but I also own Paint Shop 9 that I bought very cheaply with the introduction of Paint Shop X. This has an "animal eye" setting in its red eye panel that can work quite well. In Elements, you could zoom in and replace the color in the appropriate pixels
