Corel Paint Shop Pro, for example, has an
outstanding red-eye removal tool that lets you customize the color of the subject??™s eye and even
lets you remove ???red??? eye from animals.
The red-eye removal tool in Photoshop Elements is much simpler. Here is how to use it:
1. Open a photo that includes someone with a case of evil eye.
2. Zoom in and pan around the image until you have a good view of the red eyes.
3. In the toolbar, click Red Eye Removal Tool.
4. Click in the red part of an eye. After a moment, you should see the eye turn dark.
5. Repeat the process for the other eye.
Airbrush Away Distractions
Have you ever taken a great landscape shot only to realize??”far too late to reshoot the picture??”
that a telephone pole is in the middle of what should be serenity? Or a tourist in a loud shirt is
right behind your family in a scene that you wanted to frame? Don??™t worry??”in this section,
I will show you how to eliminate those kinds of distractions with a little digital airbrushing.
The tool at the heart of this magical process is the Clone Stamp tool. This handy feature,
found in most photo editors, lets you copy pixels from one region of your image to another. That
means you can ???airbrush??? away distracting aspects of a picture??”like power lines, unwanted
people, credit card numbers, and so on??”by duplicating a similar or nearby part of the image
(see Figure 14-1).
