Using Corel Paint Shop Pro X2: Red Eye Removal

Removing Red Eye in Paint Shop Pro X2 is as easy as a single click, or you can use their advanced tool to specify every facet of red eye correction. We’ll start with the easiest method.

A case of severe red eye afflicts this innocent party, so we selected the Red Eye Removal tool and clicked the affected eyes, like so:

We weren’t quite satisfied with the results above, so we delved deeper to see if we could make the eyes look a bit more like they should. Clicking Adjust > Red Eye Removal brings up the advanced red eye editor, where every option you could imagine is available for making the eye look normal again.

Here we changed the preset color to green, blurred and feathered the eyes just a tad, and changed the pupil and glint brightness. Paint Shop Pro’s eye color presets make it easy to change eye color back to the original, or experiment, and see how your coffee black eyes would look if crystal blue.

Up close it may look a little strange, so we zoomed out a little.
