I often get "red eye" on photo close ups which is something I notice other members occasionally experience. Is there any way of removing it after the digital photo has been taken?

Martin (one for Steve/Stuart?) Photoshop is the easy answer. A simple tool within a complex program and very easily done without need for expertise. However, it is an expensive way if you are not going to enter photographic work for the web or other publication to any great extent. Steve/Stuart/Dave may well know of cheaper or even freebie products. Peter S.

Hi Martin, You may care to read up a little about the red-eye effect on Wikipedia. As it says, there are many software packages which will enable you to reduce it. I use Photo Impact for two reasons - it came pre-installed, and it is so easy to use that even I can do it! Just ensure that your subject doesn't really have red eyes! Roger

Martin (one for Steve/Stuart?) Hi Martin I believe any half decent manipulation software will have a 'red eye' tool to make getting rid of red eye a very simple job. I use an early version of Photoshop Elements which actually came with my camera. The latest version costs £60 and is more complicated than my version, although it does have advantages in that it has an image storing and cataloging system. Interestingly, 'red eye' is only supposed to occur when the flash bounces back directly off the retina, but with Hayley, I've noticed that it happens at other times. I'm guessing that her eyes have become so used to flash photography and studio lights etc. that her pupils don't dilate as they would in you or I. If anyone can come up with an alternative theory, I would be interested to hear it. Best wishes Grant
