target overlay are desaturated.
5 Repeat step 4 until all of the red eyes in your image are corrected.
Adjusting the Size of Red Eye Target Overlays
Aperture xes red-eye in your images by desaturating the red pixels within the Red Eye target
overlay area. It’s a good idea to t each Red Eye target overlay to the size of the eye it covers.
This prevents any red pixels in the skin around your subject’s eyes or in clothing, such as a scarf
or hat, from being aected by the red-eye adjustment. You may also need to increase the size
of a Red Eye target overlay to completely encompass the eye you are targeting if the image is
a close-up. You can adjust the size of a Red Eye target overlay before and after it’s placed on
the image.
