If using photoshop (any version), marquis select redeye region, Hue/Saturation, select red, reduce saturation. This will leave the eyeball looking dark (usually what you want) and will even preserve eyecolor if the eye is visible in more detail.

Just looked at your camera. The BEST way to deal with red eye is to avoid it by not using your camera's built in flash. Get a speed light and move the flash away from the lens.

Ditto: Get the flash off the camera. That way there will be no red eye.

Getting the flash away from the lens is THE way to go Leon. You have a hot shoe, so that's not a problem. I don't have a hot shoe, but I got a Vivitar DF200 flash and a bracket and I've had little to no red eye problem. The flash is triggered by infared reading of the camera's flash. Works great! :)

one more way is using ACDSee

simple program that can let you to get rid of the red eye:)

I don not know your camera, but if your built in flash is strong enough, you can put some kind of "semi transparent" paper and you would NEVER have red eyes:)

I do the same thing, plus reduce teh darkness (on the same screen, I think). Works great.
