The way I do it,is to select the area with the magic wand. Chosen a colour that matchs the colour of the person`s eyes then fill the selected area.

PSP has a red eye remover which this mush easier to work with.

PS Elements has a good red eye tool also!

There is a tutorial on the Adobe site for removing red eye and I used it this week and it works very well. (I tried to get the link but I kept getting a server error) Use the lasso tool to select the red area. Using the shift key, you can select the red in both eyes and adjust them at one time. It is very important to have some feathering when you use the lasso or another selection tool. Otherwise you will end up with a hard edge where you corrected the color.
Go to Image/Adjustments/Selective Color. When you choose the color you want to adjust, choose red. I moved the Magenta slider all the way to left and it gave me excellent results. Looks perfectly natural.

If you happen to be able to get to that link again, would you mind posting it? I collect all the PS links I can get so that I can learn when I have the time!
Thanks,

I've heard (though I don't personally have PS 7, I have Elements), that it's better to get one of the many plug-ins available for removing red eye. It's strange that the less advanced Photoshop Elements has a better red eye removal tool than the cutting edge Photoshop 7.

I think it`s because PS7 is more for the professional market and Elements is aimed at the amateur digital camera user. As most people can afford £70-80 but not the £500-600 for PS
Paint Shop Pro is pretty similar to Elements.

The best way I've found to remove Red-Eye is by using the channels. First you select one pupil using the Elliptical selection tool. Then hold down the shift key and select the other pupil (this is tricky and takes practice). Once both pupils are selected go into the Channels Tab and select the blue channel. Then go EDIT, COPY. Select the red channel and go EDIT, Paste. Then select the green channel and EDIT, Copy. Then select the red channel and EDIT, Paste. Then go Deselect and you should have Perfect Pupils. Here's a link where I got this tip in the first place null

Photoshop Red Eye Removal Tutorial

It is in the Expert Center on the PS site. I don't know if the direct link will work because that area requires a registration. The registration is free and easy and totally worth it though.

Here's another one.

A method I use is to enlarge the eye to fill the screen. Then with the artist brush at 25% and feather 50%, the main color cyan, color in the red portion in the eye. Leave the white reflection in the center as a natural highlight.
