Fixing photos?

[jenr]

I have several photos of Skye that her eyes have the flash from the camera in them? Is there a way I can remove this from the pictures? I tried the red eye removal but that doesnt seem to work?

Red eye removal is generally designed for humans and rarely works for dogs or cats unless you have software that has a pet setting. You can change the pixels manually using the likes of Paint by enlarging the photo significantly but it is time consuming and sometimes doesn't render realistic results if you get the colours wrong.

Have you got a proper photo lab near you? I'd take the images you have on a stick and ask them if their software is able to remove it.

I tried once before to do it myself with paint but it looked weird?
What software has a pet setting thats interesting?

Send them to me in an email. I can try to fix them for you.

Thanks Cherie I will email them to you either tonight or tomorrow

[Cherie]

OK . Good, will see what I can do.

Paintshop Pro Photo X2 has a pet setting for eyes from memory. I'm using trial software (Lightroom 3) at the moment and still getting used to what it can do, so far I haven't found a pet setting in it - but that's not to say it doesn't have one.

Ok Jen. I would copy them first and work on a copy in case I made a mistake.

He is using the Adobe Photoshop Premium ( I think) he is going to lend it to me next week so I can play with it.
He did a great looking collage of his kids
