“Red Eye Effect” Free Re-Coloring Service
We offer FREE Red Eye re-coloring in each instance where we catch it on our scans. We don't guarantee that we will see every red eye but we will correct it when we do see it. Every image is personally worked in Photoshop by a Photoshop expert.
When you see a person's eye glowing in a picture, you are actually seeing the light reflected off the back of their eye. Why is it red? Because the retina is red. A person's pupil is normally black because there is no light inside the eye, and thus it is black. It would be like cutting a small hole into the side of a closed box. The hole would appear dark because it is dark inside the box. However, suppose you would put a piece of aluminum foil or a mirror inside the box opposite the hole. If you would shine a flashlight at the hole from the outside, the light would bounce off the reflective surface and come back out the hole, causing it to glow. This is what is happening when you see people's eyes glowing in pictures. The "Red-Eye" effect spoils many otherwise perfect photos. Even though digital cameras usually have a flash setting that prevents red-eye, how often do we forget to select that option?
In the future, you can overcome the red-eye effect by:
1) Moving your flash farther from your camera lens so that light is not reflected directly from the person’s iris back at the camera
2) Moving closer to your subject.
3) Raising the level of natural light so that the person’s iris gets smaller.
In regards to your past photos, Old-Photo can remove the “Red Eye” in your photos. See examples below.
Don't tarnish your memories by leaving your pictures and 35mm slides looking defective. It makes a big difference when your subjects look natural instead of like something from outer space.
