Red eye problem in CS, pale grey instead of black
by Peter Mezciems, MD » Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:29:24 GMT
There has to be some simple solution I'm looking past - correcting red
eye in a jpg, nothing complex, no layers, no other work on the image,
follow the help file to the letter, select black in the color picker
and when I correct it comes out light-mid grey in the pupil area
rather than black. Almost like opacity was low, but I can't find any
slider to correct this.????
Thanks in advance,
Peter M.

>correcting red
Correct. It replaces the red with black of the same luminosity. Light red
becomes light grey, dark red becomes dark grey.
You can make the pupil darker by using the Burn tool, or mby selecting it and
using Levels or Curves.

a better option is to select "darken", choose black in the colour picker,
and paint over the pupil area again
this works every time

...and remember that pupils are seldom dead black. If you make them
completely black, your subjects will appear to have eyes that are
projected forward in an unnatural way.

1.grey instead of black red eye correction
I've been using PS CS for a couple years and have tried various red eye
correction approaches with varying degrees of success. I keep thinking
things could be better... The approach in the Photoshop CS Help seems
reasonable but I end up with grey instead of black. I found reference to
this happening with animals but humans?? Thoughts?

tool replace the red in the eyes with greay not black. Does anyone know how
to resolve this? I followed the tutorials that came with PS CS in vain.
Thank you for your time and help.

3.PNG graphic in Word - white prints as very pale grey
If I insert PNG graphic in Word (I've tried W97 & W2003), white (RGB all
equal to 255) gets converted to very pale grey (RGB all equal to 254) when I
print the document on my laser printer. JPEG and GIF don't have this
problem. Any suggestions of what I can do to make white really white with a
PNG. The original PNG that I inserted into Word definitely had true white
(RGB all equal to 255) in it.
If I do a screen capture of the Word document and analyse it in my photo
editing programme (Paintshop Pro), white is correct (RGB all equal to 255).
If I convert it to Acrobat and analyse the screen capture, white becomes
very pale grey (RGB all equal to 254). So it appears to be a printing
problem (since Word does a 'print' to produce an Acrobat document.
4."Flashy" eyes after red eye removed
Hi
I was forced to do some low level light pics with just the internal flash
(canon eos10D)
which yielded the dreaded "red eye".When I removed the red I was left with
large flash light
reflections (huge highlights?)which still impart an "alien"or "demonic"
quality to the eyes.
Do I have to reconstruct the irises/pupils in PSCS (how?) or is there some
other way to recover
more natural looking eyes?
Thanks
Sam
