   Open your iPhoto application. You can access this through the icon on your dock. This will bring up your gallery of pictures.

   When the picture is opened in the editing window, click the "Red-Eye" button from the bottom task bar. You will receive a message that directs you "To remove red eye, click the center of each eye."

   Take your cursor and click in each eye (or one, depending on the problem) to see the red eye removed.

5. Once you are satisfied that the red-eye reduction is complete, click "Done" at the bottom of the task bar. Your edited picture will be saved in place of the old one.
