and magnification with these controls until the image is
cropped and framed to your satisfaction.
The Reset button removes all your position and zoom
changes, restoring the original framing of the image.
The red-eye reduction feature helps restore
a natural appearance to photos in which the
subject’s eyes are tinged with red. (This
problem is caused by light from the flash unit bouncing
off the retina of the eye when the subject is looking
directly into the camera.)
To activate red-eye reduction, click the left button in
the red eye group. The button stays down when clicked.
Now click the image preview with the left mouse
button above and to the left of the area in which red-
eye should be applied. While holding the button down,
drag down and to the right until the area is fully
enclosed. When you release the mouse button, the red-
eye reduction effect is instantly applied within the
rectangle you have outlined.
It is usually not necessary to be highly precise when
marking out the red-eye reduction area. In fact, a larger
rectangle may even yield a better result than a smaller
one that encloses the eyes and no more. If the red-eye
reduction does not clear up the problem entirely on the
first attempt, try again with a different rectangle size.
Studio’s red-eye reduction algorithm provides excellent
results with a wide variety of photos. However, some
photos are better-suited to the process than others.
To remove red-eye reduction once applied, click the
right-hand button in the red eye group.
