Hey there

So i have adobe photoshop and just finished my trial with paint shop pro.

In paint shop pro the red-eye removal is easy. I'm not sure how to do it in photoshop. i don't want to buy paint shop pro since i already own photoshop, but it doesn't seem quite as easy to me.

can anyone help? maybe walk me thru red eye fix in photoshop?

thanks in advance

I'm not sure that there is a "red-eye fixer" in photoshop, but I'll tell you what I do to fix red eye. (Both my boys have light blue eyes so they always look like glowing red-eyed demons in pictures - LOL!)

Open your picture in photoshop, and zoom in really close on the eyes, almost to where you're seeing the individual pixels. Use your eyedropper tool and click on one of the pixels close to the center of the eye that isn't red, and it will "pick" that color for you. Then go to your airbrush tool, and make sure you're on a very small brush size and turn the pressure down to about 50%. Then use the airbrush tool with the color you selected with the eyedropper to color in all the red area in the center of the eye. Before you start recoloring, kind of take note of where the white refelction spots are in the eyes, and then after you've colored out the red eye, go back in with your airbrush selected to white and put the little white dots back in - it makes the eyes look a lot more natural to have those little white spots.

LMK if that didn't make sense and I can try to explain it a little better.

Nope, sure ain't. But there are plenty of cheap consumer level photo enhancing programs that can do it. Usually the software that comes with your camera can do it.

No auto red eye fixer.

What the pp said will work. Or sometimes I'll "lasso" the area that is effected by the red eye and then go to "image" > "adjust">"hue/saturation", use the drop down box at the top to select "reds" and then desaturate the reds until they look normal.
