How to remove red eye
- Choose or drop a photo. The Red eye tool is ready.
- Zoom in on the eyes and set the brush a little larger than the pupil.
- Click the middle of each red pupil, then save from Export.
Good to know
- Only strongly red pixels change, so skin and lips nearby are left alone.
- If nothing happens, click closer to the center of the pupil.
- Pets usually have green or yellow eye glare instead of red; the Heal brush handles that.
Questions
Why do eyes look red in flash photos?
In dim light the pupil opens wide, and the flash lights up the blood-rich back of the eye through it.
Will it change the eye color?
No. It only changes red pixels inside the brush, and fades the correction toward the edge.
Can I undo it?
Yes. Ctrl Z, or the undo button, takes back each click.
