fixing red eye woes with iphoto 08

[raytheirishman]

I was using iphoto 08 trying to remove red eye...it seems to just paint the eye black and looks wack...I might be doing it wrong but I kept trying and kept getting the same result...anyone use certain programs to make fixing red eye quick? I could do photoshop but its time consuming and I have a lot to do...

thanks for your input...

well, i think that the easiest way on any program would be: taking a color sample of the original eye color, and then just try to paint over it, there are other ways but it is the simplest one and it works pretty well if the image is no a very high resolution

iphoto 08 sucks at fixing red eyes...but it could be me not knowing how to do it well lol...

I went into pixelmator on my mac and did the same thing you did in photoshop with brushing over the eyes  it works great...thanks for the tip...

it might be because of any of these reasons, 1. low definition, 2. the eye was not normal red eye color, so the closest red the program found was the skin tone and acted over the skin

Sometimes red eyes makes very funny pics. I have a whole collection of them.
