Using Windows XP MEDIA, I downloaded Picasa and have been pleased with the operation of the program except I cannot get the red eye removal to work. My grandsons have very blue eyes and they glow red like some movie monster. Can anyone help? Thanks Harv

Hello Harv2nd
Welcome to Tsg

When you drag the cursor over the eye it should leave a green tinted ellipse on anything red.

EDIT: Try it on a part the face that has a hint of red in it until you get the hang of it.
Also: picasa redeye removal will only work on jpeg files.

Thanks xgerryx but that did not solve my problem. All the photos are jpeg.

Redeye removal only seems to be effective for the "less severe" cases.

I had to remove it for a friend with a couple on shots of young children, they looked positively evil with the amount of redeye.

None of the automated packages made any significant or useable difference, so I just zoomed right in and "painted" out the pupils. Worked just fine.

Hey KIWIGUY, thanks for the responce but I don't fully understand what you did. What did you paint the pupils with? Harv
