Can you help me understand how to fix the eyes
Dec 16, 2012 21:31:14 #
I have Photo Elements 10 and Picassa 3. I would like to make some copies for my family and friends. Of course I was using a flash..SB600. Can someone help me "fix" the eyes or show me where I can learn to do that? I would really appreciate it.

Not having Elements, I can't personally tell you how to do it, however I did find this tutorial for you.

No bark...no bite! I added "catch-lights" to the eyes, I've always been fussy about that.

Using flash on animals can really be tricky. You must get the flash off from the camera and some distance from it, maybe about 2 feet away or so. Several ways of doing this.

Very quickly done in something as simple as Picasa.
Thanks! I tried to find out how to do this in Picassa. I guess I need more experience. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I have played around with this some myself. There are lots of ways of correcting this but here is what I now like to do;
In Elements do a rough selection of jus the eyes (I like to make a layer out of the selection but you don;t have to). Select : Enhance>Color Correction>Hue/Saturation. In the popup dialog box click on the box that says "Master" and select the color closest to the color you are trying to remove, ie. Green (it doesn't really make any difference which one you pick as you are just trying to get to the eye-dropper). Select the eye dropper and click it on the pupil of the eye and move the Saturation slider to the left to desaturate just that color. And if you need to darken the pupil, move the Illumination slider to the left. (As always, the amount of adjustment is a matter of taste).
This technique doesn't require careful selection, and only effects the unwanted color, doesn't effect the catch light or the texture or detail.
Hope that helps. PM me if you need or want more help with the walk through.

The dog's green eyes are caused by envy-
Envious of his K9 buddies who don't get dressed up like this. We went through this with our dog until he hired a lawyer. His hot dog costume is now retired.

This is the first time since she "found me" that I have given Jasmine such treatment. Four years ago, she was 20 pounds under weight, almost dead from hearworms, and has major wounds on her neck. The rescue shelter that I volunteered with brought her to an "adoptathon." I was asked to "handle" her. Over a period of three "adoptathon," she still had not found a home. Her gentle, loving nature was amazing. We are now best friends.
