Select the Red Eye tool . (The Red Eye tool is in the same group as the Spot Healing Brush tool . Click the triangle in the lower right portion of a tool to display additional tools.)

Click in the red eye. If you are not satisfied with the result, undo the correction, set one or more of the following options in the options bar, and click the red eye again:

Pupil Size

Increases or decreases the area affected by the Red Eye tool.

Darken Amount

Sets the darkness of the correction.

 

• Red eye is caused by a reflection of the camera flash in the subject’s retina. You’ll see it more often when taking pictures in a darkened room because the subject’s iris is wide open. To avoid red eye, use the camera’s red eye reduction feature. Or, better yet, use a separate flash unit that you can mount on the camera farther away from the camera’s lens.

Instructions:

Remove red-eyes from 2 different photos. Post them in your blog, both pictures, before & after.
