Flash photography often causes a phenomenon called red eye because that flash is going all the way into the back of your eye, hitting the back of your head and showing all the blood vessels and that's what we get here. I found this image on Google, just did a search for red eye. So feel free to go online, find an image, open it on up in Photoshop so you can follow along. Now, what I'm going to do is show you that this tool is very, very simple. There are only two parameters that we can change. You'll find the tool first off under the Band-Aid in our Healing set of tools and cleverly, Adobe even makes the eye turn red when we put our mouse over it. So I'm going to select the Red Eye Tool and as advertised, we have two parameters; Pupil Size and Darken Amount. Pupil size does exactly what it says. It controls the proportion of the pupil in relationship to how you click. So for example, if I take this slider to a hundred percent and I click here, the pupil will actually spill out a little bit into the skin. Now, pay close attention to this area right here. I'll click. Notice how we got a little darker there? Because the proportion is too big for the eye. So the effect is spilling out a little bit. I'm going to undo that and I'll drop this down to something reasonable, like 25 percent and I'll click again. Much better. And I'll click over here to show you the difference. I'm going to undo these guys here and I'm going to show you something else; the darken amount. This is kind of important as well. If you take this slider to a hundred percent, which I'll do in a second, you will get rid of all the detail that you would typically see in someone's eye, like the little flecks, the little lines in there, the squiggly things, all that crazy stuff that goes on in a real person's eye. If I take this to a hundred percent and I click now with the tool, I get a pretty dark pupil. It's almost cartoonish. So if that's the effect you're going for, that's fine. But if you want to retain some life in those eyes, keep this amount relatively low. I'm going to go back to ten percent here and I'll click again. Much better. I can even see some of the radiosity in the eyes that's pretty much bouncing from her skin and the light coming from her cheek. So I'm getting all of that reflected back into the eye because the darken amount is low enough to give me the light from the room and her skin in her eye. So once again, Pupil Size is going to pretty much change depending on what your fixing. If you're getting red eye out of a squid's eye, which is the size of a dinner plate, you might want to adjust the pupil size quite a bit. And don't forget to retain the quality of the squiggly lines and the flecks and all that other kinds of stuff in a real eye. Keep the darken amount to a nice, low number unless you're deliberately trying to make it pitch black.
