red eye in photoshop

[bballboy30]

I have a few pictures of wildlife in which I used flash. Their eyes have a green or white glow to them similar to the red eye humans get. When i use the red eye removal tool in photoshop elements 3.0, it doesn't fix the white of green glow. Is their any way to reduce or to get rid of this glow.

Thanks.

On PS Cs, very easy to get rid of red eye.

Multiple techniques, all easy.

But, need PS, and I think Elements would work just as well.

Fir instance, make a copy of picture, then desat. Then use this as background, and put original on top; then, using actual pixels for viewing, and erase the red.

Another technique: enlarge to acutual pixels, and desat. the red out.

Or, using lasso, isolate the eye, and sub black for red.

Or, maybe someone else will give their technique which is even better. where the gurus when you need them.

Not sure if you can use this in Elements, but here goes:

Here is the link to a pre-made Action that you can download for use in Photoshop. Just follow the directions. Very easy to use.

From Photoshop Elements 3.0 -- Classroom in a Book, "As smart as the Red Eye tool is, its use is limited to red eyes. You can't use it to make your brown eyes blue. It won't work for other colors of retinal reflections, such as the glowing eyes of an animal struck by a light beam or camera flash."

They outline a method to fix this problem using the color replacement tool You sample the color of the pupil and replace the "white or green glow."
