Removing Red-Eye

A photo with red-eye
Remove red-eye from your photos using the Red-Eye Tool

Red-eye is created in photos taken with a flash. The camera's flash
reflects off the retina's blood vessels creating
a red color. FotoFinish allows you to remove red-eye with just a few clicks of the mouse.
To remove red-eye from a photo, select the  Red-Eye Tool from the
Photo Wizard toolbar or go to Step 6 of the Wizard tab in the Tool Settings Panel.
Judging by the size of the photo, choose a brush size. In most cases, the largest tool will work best.
Center the cursor over the red portion of each eye and click once.
|
Another great way to get rid of red-eye is to use the circular selection tool
to select the red portion of the eye, then select Adjust Colors in the Image menu,
choose Adjust Hue, click on More, and desaturate the selection by moving the
saturation slider to the left.
|
If this makes the eyes too gray, select Adjust Exposure in the
Image menu and make the selected area darker by sliding the Brightness slider to the left.

Removing Blemishes
|
FotoFinish can also touch up portraits to
improve on nature or fix defects introduced by the camera. You can fix red-eyes, whiten teeth, zap
away moles and blemishes, and even smooth out wrinkles and other signs of aging.
To cover up moles, wrinkles, and blemishes, select the Touch Up Tool
from the Wizard Toolbar. This tool lets you paint over any blemishes
using a selected flawless area of your image as the "paint."
First, select a clean area of your image to use as the paint pattern. Click on
the pattern preview box to get a selection tool, then trace a rectangle
around the area of your image you would like to use as your paint pattern.
Next, choose a brush size and paint over the blemish. To help a bigger imperfection
blend in with the rest of your photo, you might have to repeat this process a few
times. Continue to choose small, clean portions of the image and paint over the flaw.
Make both your selections and your brush size small for cleaner, more natural results.
It might also help to zoom in on the area in question.
