I searched all threads but can't find a specific reference to answer my question...
Is red eye removal an acceptable part of the basic editing ruleset? It would seem to violate "spot editing"?

| It is not allowed in basic editing; it is, indeed, spot editing. |

| So if your camera does it automatically (not with a pre-flash, but with an automatic edit of the image), it's illegal? |

does the camera itself fix the red eye, or is it editable by you, in camera?
eta -- does the camera fix the red eye while the exposure is being made? or is it done after the exposure?

In response to the first question, it's automatic.
I don't know the answer to the second question. I'm talking about the dual flash on most point and shoots. On my girlfriend's Samsung L210, you have the options "reduce the red eye effect" or "detect and automatically fix red eye," so they're self explanatory. But on the older Sony DSC-P200, it's just red eye reduction on or off - on fires the flash twice, off just once.

| You can reduce the saturation of the red channel and that is legal in basic. If there are not other red objects in the scene that will be hurt by doing this, it is an option. |

Those should be fine, as the fix is something done during exposure. |

I know this sounds self explanatory...but I need to ask...
You can selectively saturate/desaturate color channels in basic editing as long as it is uniformly done to the whole image?

Yes. For instance, in this recent entry, all the channels except the blues were desaturated:

A pre-flash to reduce the size of the pupils is fine, but in-camera editing to remove redeye after the capture would be illegal in Basic. If there's no other red in the shot, you could desaturate that channel, but your skin tones will suffer. |

I hadn't been thinking about that when I wrote my earlier response, but you are correct. |
