Duke Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I've seen some other people get help, so.... I have A kodak digital camera with the easy share/ printer dock, etc. It has an edit screen to remove red eye, etc. but whenever I take A picture of my dog, he has blue eye. Does anyone know how to remedy this? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 It should work - typically the "red eye removal" is nothing more than airbrushing the red to a dark gray/black color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Red eye is caused by the refraction of light off of the lens of an eye. The multiple flashes of the camera in "anti red eye mode" serve to close the pupil enough to not cause this light refraction. Some higher end cameras and probably photoshop also can alter the picture file, but the flashes and the pupil actually reduce it the most. Blue eyes? i don't really know exactly, but its probably got something to do with the light refraction also. Do some research into software that can do it, or a specific settign on your camera for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 I've tried reading the manual, but all it talks about is red-eye. I tried doing the correction anyhow and it didn't work. I need to send some pics out and my little ass chihuaua looks like A cyborg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Per Inet search, it seems that chi's have a pretty good tapeum librium - a membrane in the eye that reflects light back to the cones/rods for night vision. It's responsible for the yellow glow on certain dogs and cats when light is shown upon their eyes in the dark. Yellow and red tends towards orange, though, not blue.

BuffalOhio Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Happens all the time with my dog. Especially when she's attacking my new camera because she doesn't like the beeps it makes! What a riot!!  http://members.cox.net/jckuhn/images/TrudyAttack.jpg  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 You could always Google a site for Lassie and use Photoshop and use Lassie's eyes as your dog's eyes (see fake celebrity boob photos as example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Ward 86 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I take A LOT of photos of our dog and cat and the only way that I have found to fix the blue or green or sometimes even white eye is with a "pet eye pen". It looks like a felt tip marker and they sell them at craft stores or photo shops. You basically use it to fill in the eye color after the photo is printed. It takes some practice to make the eyes look normal and not like you just colored them in, but once you get the hang of it, it's an easy fix. I have a picture of our cat in our dining room and you can't tell that he ever looked like a demon in the original print--of course his name is Damien!
