    Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

    Anybody have any tips? Or if feeling extra generous, anybody willing to give it a go for me? My skills stretch no further than Microsoft Paint Feel free to PM if you feel like giving it a shot, cheers guys. :)

    It's very easy to do. Just download Google Picasa 3. It's free, there is an option in there to do the red eye removal.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Ive done this, but seeing as the photo is in B&W, it doesnt recognise there is red eye. Basically its just the pupils are very bright to the point where they are hard to see. Im not sure what would solve the problem, maybe just selecting the pupil area itself and making them darker?

    No problem, email it to me oshead (at) gmail.com. Or you could attach it to a post here if you like and someone else might give it a go.

    If you've got photoshop or any other photo editor, you should be able to use the "burn" tool in order to fix that. Play with the settings on it a bit and make your brush about the same size as the pupil you're trying to tame. You probably want to feather the edges of the brush a bit as well (something else to play with.) it'll probably take you a while to get the strength of the burn down.. but you ideally want to click your mouse once and be done with it for that kind of thing.
