Hi,

I got used of paint shop pro 8, and in PSP8 there were many interesting tools to adjust photos, so I wonder if I can find the same in Photoshop.

Yes, there is, but people who use Photoshop tend to learn how to use the software to do trivial adjustments like that themselves.

if you really must buy a plug in to do a job that shouldn’t take you more than a minute, then you can get one from:

Sure, I agree in doing this another way, but can you explain me then how to correct red eye? In PSP8 we can select eye color, select tge glint, iris size, stuff like that you know? It is very powerful and convenient…

Yes it is convenient but that is the difference between PSP and Photoshop. PSP is convenient and Photoshop is a no hand holding tool of the trade which will do the job right if you know what you are doing.

The search ‘Photoshop +"red eye"’ in Google gave me about 36,300 results in
0.21 seconds. There are all sorts of tutorials for PS. Here’s one site
dealing with red eye: http://www.planetphotoshop.com/PeteBauer13.html. Here’s another: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/tutorials/tutorial_4_1.htm

This is a very quick, simple and accurate way to correct red eye in Photoshop.

1. Make a rough selection with the lasso tool to include all the pupil. It doesn’t matter if it includes some of the iris so long as it includes all the pupil and none of the lid.

2. Open the channels palette and highlight the red channel (Cntrl-1 is the short cut)

3. Go to Image>Apply Image and in the source channel select the green or blue channel.

4. Set the blending mode to darken, press enter, and a perfect correction is made.

I don’t know any better way to do it and it requires no careful selection and no plug-in.

Another way is to select the area, I usually use the elliptical marquee with the shift button when needed, and go to adjustments, hue saturation and select red. That way I can get the pupil just the right shade since pupils are not always black.

Also, there is a free pug in at http://share.studio.adobe.com I tried it and it worked but it is faster for me to do it myself the way I mentioned.

Do a search of this newsgroup for a message by On
August 26, 1999 he posted a really good Photoshop method for removing red eye. It’s simple, fast and the results are excellent. The following is text from that message:

"Go into your RGB channels. You’ll notice that most/all of the affected
area is in the Red channel (duh!). The red eye area in the Green and Blue channels should be healthy, and should look similar. Go to either
the Green or Blue channel and select (by any method you prefer) the dark part of the eye (pupil & irus). You can select some of the white of the eye too, but make sure you don’t select any skin! When it’s selected, copy it to the clipboard. Go to your Red channel, and Paste!! Red eye gone, and looks very realistic."

I went test driving a new G5 today. They had Photoshop Elements on it. There’s this big thing for red-eye correction. Elements is an app for the masses. They make it easy. Maybe you can check it out if you haven’t already.

It’s basically a brush that replaces one color with another color. It’s handy for a variety of things other than red-eye, and it will be in Photoshop CS.

And I’ll bet what it’s doing is Select>colour group and so forth, which you can set up as an action in PS. 🙂

That was a nice technique. My current favorite which doesn’t need any selections is:

Reset the Foreground and Background colors and paint with a 100% Brush in Saturation or Color mode to make the pupil gray. You may then want to use the Burn tool in 50% Exposure Midtones to make the pupil darker while maintaining the tiny white reflection and some gray pixels around it.

I remember when Fiat went away from have their car models as numbers to having a car ‘name’ instead (like Strada – talk about a rust bucket – but it went quick). The main business reason is that a number cannot be trademarked or copyrighted, names may be eligible.

It’s my guess that’s why they went with a name for legal reasons as well as marketing. It also defeats the possibility of someone coming up with Fotoshop 9 in an attempt to gain some instant sales off Adobe’s back.

‘Creative Suite’ just rolls of the tongue don’t you think? I wonder how much they paid for someone to dream it up. 8 would have been cheaper to come up with. I wonder if the next version will be Photoshop 2005? How many names can one come up with?

Photoshop is a registered trademark, and certain;y in the UK, there is an offence of "passing off" which would have anyone attempting to do that in jail so fast their feet wouldn’t touch…

No, I think it’s just a marketing ploy to cover their adoption of activation and make people think they;re getting a lot more for their money in the hope that they won’t notice that they’ve been locked into Adobe’s system, and that the included software is still Photoshop and that sorry dog of a program Image Ready.

I’ve been watching you and I can tell you’re definitely warming to it.

But here’s a dilemma for you, swap my ME for your IR.

Just can’t decide can you? Go on you know you want to.

I tried most of the abovementioned tricks, and this is my favorite (at least for the clear red eye I tried as a test case.
