Red Eye Correction - Red eye/redeye is a condition caused by direct flash photography. When light from a camera's flash bounces off the retina of the human eye, the pupil of the eye appears bright red in the photograph. Red eye can be avoided by using a different flash technique such as bounce flash or changing the location of the flash unit to the side or top/bottom, however, Qimage offers a tool to correct red eye in photos where red eye was unavoidable. Red eye is considered a "blemish" in Qimage and therefore must be removed via the blemish corrector. Removing red eye is no different than removing a blemish, except that the blemish (red pupil) must be removed by darkening the "blemish" instead of blending with surrounding colors. The only thing to remember here is that you must click in the center of the eye (pupil) and drag the mouse pointer to the left when removing redeye.
