Ron49 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hello group, Maybe I'm just kind of slow when it comes to computers, but I can't seem to make the red-eye removal tool work in Paint.net v. 3.30. I select the eyes, then go to the tool in the drop-down menu, click OK and nothing happens. I know this has to be something incredibly simple that I'm just missing. Can someone help me out? I'm using Vista home premium. Thanx, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Do changes appear before you click OK and suddenly disappear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron49 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Doesn't seem that way. Just seems like nothing happens a all. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Try dragging the sliders around. Do you see any difference? Have you tried on other images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron49 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I did drag the sliders; no effect. Have not tried it on another picture. Thanx for that suggestion. Don't know why it's not working on the pic i'm writing about, though. Am I doing this right? I use the rectangular selection tool to outline the eyes, go to the effects menu, then red-eye removal, then click OK. Shouldn't this remove the red eye? Or am I missing something?

Simon Brown Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My Suggestion: Try without selection on a random image on the highest settings possible and see if it has any effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron49 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 OK. Thanx. I'll give that a shot. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Are the eyes on another layer than the one you're selecting? You're right; select the eyes, then run red eye removal. But you must select the same layer as the eyes are on. Â The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

Ron49 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 As I said, I'm far from an expert on this stuff. But it's just a pic that I took. To my knowledge, I didn't add any layers. That's kind of out of my league right now. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrebh Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Did you try just using the paintbrush tool ? Because of the nature of what causes red eye, it will almost always be a circle, which means that you can use a combination of the paintbrush with different color/transparency settings to give you a decent effect. Do not click the picture above. It will take you to my site, and I don't need the anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
