Subtitles of the Movie (Adobe Photoshop CS3 / Color Correction / Red Eye)
Here we're going to discuss how to get rid of red eye or as I call it Damien eye. Now as you see here we have this young lady and by the way I wanted to let you know that I got this image by doing a search on Google and I found this web page here and this web page definitely wanted me to say that if I did find this image and I use it I wanna give a, a little shout out to where it's from so it's creative commons and all I have to do is say is that I got it from here. So I'm not using this for any other purpose so if you want to uh find this image just check out uh a search on Google for red eye and you should see something like this or a wide variety of images that you can use. Once again this is where I got that image from. And what we're gonna do here is use the red eye tool and it's pretty 00:00:41] easy. It's, it's got no options pretty much except for two choices unlike a lot of the other tools where you see all these other options. As you see here with the healing brush and the spot healing brush all the options up there change even the patch tool has lots of different options but when we get to the red eye tool it only has pupil size and has darken amount. And it, it's an easy tool to use and that's pretty much why. Now the pupil size will allow us to change pretty much the selection area you know of the pupil so we can go to a hundred percent like this and click on the tool and as you see here its going to darken that up for us and give us a gigantic pupil. I'm gonna undo that and I'm gonna reduce that all the way down to zero or one and you can see its gonna pretty much do the same thing but the amount that has been covered is much, much less severe. Let me do that again and show you when I put it on a hundred percent look at the darkness in the pupil itself. So I'm gonna click and its pretty unnatural you can see that's something's happened here but when I use the uh smaller number I'm able to still retain some of the color and the information and the detail in the eye itself. The darken amount it works pretty much the same way. It will allow us to really gradually change how much we're gonna go with this darkness, so I'm gonna go 100 percent here and I'm gonna click on this eye once again and see it's a little too dark. Once again it's kinda doing the same thing as here. So I'm gonna undo that and I'm gonna drop it down to like 20 percent. And once again it looks a little bit more realistic. We see some detail in the eye that we, we lost when we went to all the way to 100 percent. So what you have to do pretty much is experiment based on the person's complexion, based on the color of their natural eyes until you find a happy medium. It's a very, very easy tool to use and you'll find that you know once you find out exactly what the settings are for the image you're dealing with it's pretty much just clicking here and clicking there and you're done. So once again the red eye tool one of the healing tools located in the healing category right under the spot healing tool just hold your mouse down until you see the red eye tool up here.
