RedEyePro
Vendor: Andromeda Software
Purpose: Red-eye removal with novice and professional capabilities
Chapter 18 ■ Red-Eye Removal 217
Description
RedEyePro offers professional-level red-eye removal (although you could argue that professional
photographers should not be taking red-eye portraits in the first place). There
is also a novice mode, and, most importantly, a pet mode to remove green-eye (and other
colors) from images of pets.
RedEyePro works on both RGB and CMYK images and has selective Unapply and
Unpaint tools. It can also fix non-circular red-eye, a particularly vexing problem that
many so-called solutions fail to fix.
Comments
The two good things about RedEyePro are its speed, and, with a little extra effort from
the user, its ability to preserve glints and other reflections in the eye. It is not perfect,
despite its price, but red-eye software will always suffer from an inherent inability to
guess the eye’s original color.
