   Perfect timing and helpful. I am just now getting to Christmas photos to edit with a cat that insisted in being in most photos. Unfortunately, all of his eyes are gold/red which makes him look like he has the devil in him, which it looks like I will have to fix one by one. I am told I cannot leave him like this. Wish there was sync for his eyes.

   Also, not sure how to shoot photos of the cat and not have weird colors. I did have red eye reduction on.

   Thanks for the video.

   Do you use flash? If you can avoid using flash you will drastically reduce your chance of getting any red-eye. If you’re looking for light try using an open window in your home. If you are using flash, bounce it off of a material such as a white board or use a diffuser, this will soften the light and reduce the chance of red-eye.

   Hi Dylan

   Excellent tips, which seem to also work on Garden Bird photos.

   One question, the magic eye fixer, can it also be used to manage ‘red eye’ ?

   Best wishes David Price

   Thanks for watching! I suppose it could, possibly with some desaturating or cooling?
