Dog green eye correction in LR3?

How do you fix a dog's green eyes from a flash in Lightroom 3?

Obviously the red eye tool doesn't work for this issue.

As I've done with LR 2, try to get the red eye function to create an elipse.. somewhere. Then just move it to the green eye and resize the oval to match the green area like you would do a red eye where the auto function doesn't get it perfectly right.

In Lightroom I'd use a local adjustment brush with settings for saturation and Exposure turned down and give it a try -- making the brush just the size of the green eye with a soft edge should give you something at least to play with. If it has a hard time targeting the color properly you can try the color picker to help the desaturation.

Give it a try!

Bump, 'cause there ain't much on the interwebz about this and the last two posts don't make any sense to me.

duplicate the layer, hue/saturation adjustment to make green >> red, use redeye adjust, mask layer/delete all, unerase the eyes back in.. good luck!

There is a trick to using the LA Brush with the Color Picker. Normally the brush adds a "layer" of color that blends with the original. E.g., paint blue on top of red and you get purple. But if Saturation (on the brush) is set to 0, the underlaying color becomes grey and therefore causes no hue shift. It will however, cause a luminosity shift from the color selected that can be adjusted with Exposure and/or Brightness.

So, have you tried playing with the things suggested, and learning about how they work? You do have to "read up" on the tools -- search Google about "lightroom brush tutorial" and such and try to get some experience about how things work!

I didn't get very good results in LR.

Instead I used Gimp, it seems much easier for a single pic correction ----select green in eyes using Fuzzy Select tool. Then Select-> Grow by 1 pixel. Apply Desaturate. Finally adjusted in the Levels dialog to darken the eye color.

What did you actually try in Lightroom that didn't work?

Ditto, take your brush and desaturate the reflective part of the eye, and then lower the exposure/brightness to get rid of the shine.

Nathan has it right, it's a learned, practiced, skill...provided ya want to bother with the learning and practicing part.

If you use Lightroom, use the red eye removal feature. Click on something in the photo to try to get it to place an oval. Then move the oval to your dog's eyes and click and drag it to enlarge it to cover the eye. It will work, I've done it for a dog's eye myself.
