How to Fix Red Eye in PSP X2
A photograph can be ruined by slight imperfections that are out of the hands of the photographer. Errors in the photo, such as red eye, where the eyes of the subjects appear to have a red tint, can be cleared away with the use of photo editing software such as "Paint Shop Pro X2." The software features a tool that removes red eye by clicking on the troubled areas. Those more familiar with editing digital photos can further adjust aspects of each eye down to the color of the eye itself.
