Sometimes, when taking photos, especially in the evening or in low-light spaces, with the flash, the photographed image may come out with too red colors, and, if the photo portrays a person, there could be the classic "eyes" defect red " . The cause of this unnatural and unpleasant effect is the camera flash when shooting too closely and when there is little lighting on the subject.
The same kind of problem happens when, for example, taking pictures of bright objects at night.
On digital cameras, you can remove the "red-eye" effect in various ways, but some camera settings need to be changed.
If you don't have the time or the technical skills to make these changes, you can instead use a photo editing program on your computer or a web application
Without bothering the powerful Photoshop, an excellent free program to eliminate red lights from photos is the new Windows Live Photo Gallery .
With this program it is possible to easily retouch red eyes and too bright colors automatically ; you just have to draw a rectangle or square around the eyes or by surrounding the bright object.
Windows Live Photo Gallery can be downloaded by downloading Windows Live Essentials by selecting this program in the installation menu. Then open the image to be corrected in Windows Live Photo. In the edit menu, press the red-eye button and draw a rectangle around the eye to be corrected. The correction will be instantaneous, automatic and maintain realistic colors . When you close Windows Photo Gallery, the program automatically saves your changes.
As mentioned above, in addition to red eyes, it is also possible to modify images that are too red such as those photos taken at night with bright objects. This time, you can select all that part of the photo to change the color of the light and make it more real.
If the lights are not red but yellow or otherwise too bright, you can use the quick tools for changing the color and exposure.
Another specific program to remove red in the eyes of photographs is S10 RedEyes which does just that
