Yes
just spentthe weekend in london, on a black tie dinner suite event.

I decided not to take my camera (moment of stupidity based around not wanting to leave it in a hotel room)

any way, oen of the guys did take a fuji a900 but only got 1 shot of the group as a whole.

unfortunatly it is suffering from red eye and the (I think) for more worrying white eye. When I zoom in to try and fix it, the image is too pixalated for CS2 to be able to fix with red eye tool (it give the ladies rather unflattering pander eyes)

I have tried to manualy fix it, btu I am strugling a bit.

can any body give me any tips advice etc.

he is the original, but reduced to 800 x 600 for the net, and a straight forward crop of a part of it, to give you an idea of what i have to work with.

Yeah I know was a big mistake not taking my camera, and it was a passerby who took this shot on the fuji.

will CS3 or CS4 do the red eye better?

thanks in advance if anybody can help
 
I'm sure the image could be cleaned up a bit in Lightroom, but I don't think you're going to produce a masterpiece from it ;)
 
I think you'll find all auto red eye removal will make a mess of this.

Looks like a painstaking job with the brush tool I'm afraid, although there is bound to be a red eye expert somewhere out there with a better idea.

Thats not much help is it, sorry :(
 
agread both.

Flash it is never meant to be a masterpiece, just a memmory, of the day for everybody.

judt getting rid of the red eye / white eye problem with be more than enough, but as dan said the red eye tool made a real mess, and im struggling with the brush tool, just hoping somebody can help out a little with a gently push in the right direction.

tried a bit of manual drawing in black bits and bluring them, but to no avail.
 
If you email me the original or point me in the direction where I can download it, then I'll be more then happy to remove the devil eyes and clean up the image a wee bit.

Bol, I've found in the past that trying to use too dark colours is the problem when trying to paint over red eye. try using skin tones rather than black or brown to start with then if that looks better try darkening the colour very slightly and paint over again.

Trial and error I'm afraid.
 
oh rats. photobucket seems to have reduced the size on its own

have you an email address i can send it to?
