Red-eye reduction can be very tricky. If not done right it can make eyes look very unnatural, which could get quite distracting. Heres a great method to remove red eye from images. It may sound a bit complex for a beginner, but the results make it worth it.Ok here we go.1.Open the image in photoshop2At the bottom of the Layer window, click on the circular icon that stands for'Create new fill or adjustment layer' and select the channel mixer option there.3.In the channel mixer window, set REd channel to 0 percent, Green to 50 percent , and blue to 50 percent.DOnt panic if you get an off-colour image.4. Now select black as your foreground colour, making sure the Channel mixer layer is selected, and press [ALT]+[bACKSPACE] to fill it up with black.5. Now select the foreground colour as white, and use the brush tool to paint over the red portions of the eyes. It's preferable to select a brush size of the red eye.6. Notice the red eye disappear as you paint over it.

If that tutorial didnt work for you, or confused you then there is always a guess and check method.First open the picture in Photoshop with the red-eyes, then zoom in really close(Ctrl + +) and use any of the Lasso Tools to select the red eye area(I usually use the regular Lasso tool with a steady hand). Now zoom out to its original size with the selection still going, go to Image>Adjustments> and from here you have to play around to get everything right. Choose Hue/Saturation first and mess around to choose the closest color that relates to the eye area. Once your done that go to Brightness/Contrast to get the right light proportions.Like I said it takes some practise to do this but you learn photoshop either way and thats a big plus in life.

The first tutorial is very confusing. I think the second tutorial has much simpler terms and is much easier to use. It would help beginners a lot if you were able to include a screen shot .
