Blue Eyes

[Rachael]

Hi

I took a photo of a calf chewing on a piece of rope earlier and it has blue eyes. Obviously, my red-eyeremoval software doesn't work, but can anyone tell me how to make the eye look normal please? I'm currently playing with a trial of Photoshop Elements 8 and GIMP so answers for either of these would be great.

Can you post the picture so we know what isn't 'normal'? I use this method for removing green eye from my dog's eyes: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/redeyeremoval/ss/peteye.htm

I hope this helps.

That might help. Can someone tell me if there's a way to show an image without posting it as one of my 365 please? I have others from today I'd rather post.

You could post it somewhere else - like flickr, picasa, photobucket etc. and let us know where to look.

you could post it here as a future date & then remove later.

I just gave this info on the HERE same info can be used here, except do put the calf in your house, barn maybe but not house :)

the result of red eye is from your flash and it being mounted on your camera. The flash is capturing the blood vessels in the pupil.

You need to move the flash to keep it from bouncing directly back into the lens. Keep in mind that light travels in a strict path, straight. and then it bounces off an object using the same angle it hits an object, This in turn is the same angle for most point and shoots or flashes on camera mounts if you shot straight on to the subject. The flash is bouncing off the eye and traveling straight back to the camera lens. Try moving your point of view or move the flash on a bracket, bounce flash on wall or something white/gold. Hope this helps. just ask more and if I or some else can help I am sure we will.

Jeff, thanks for the tip, but I'm using a point and shoot so I don't know how that would work for me.
