Red Eye Pilot lets you treat one eye at time with great accuracy.
The interface for Red Eye Pilot displays the image in a main panel, with panels to the
right showing “source image” and “processed image” magnifications. Hot keys let you
undo or redo the processing, whereas another feature lets you change the scale of the
image by turning the mouse wheel.
Red Eye Pilot is available in English and Hungarian. Other editions include a Mac version
and a plug-in version for Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Photo-Paint, and other editors.
Comments
Red Eye Pilot does not automatically locate the position of the eyes, as does, for example,
STOIK RedEye Autofix. But it does a reasonable job of isolating the pupils and
making corrections. It uses a three-step method to “zero-in” on each eye individually
and has good fine-tuning facilities so that you can make a smooth repair. Development
has greatly improved it since its first appearance, and it works beautifully on pictures of
Red-Eyed Tree Frogs from Central America.
Red Eye Pilot is available in a stand-alone version for Windows and Macintosh and as
a plug-in for Windows.
