How do I remove the red-eye effect?

QUESTION

How do I remove the red-eye effect in Capture One?

ANSWER

If there is some red-eye effect on your images you want to get rid of, use Capture One for that purpose.

One of the possible solutions to remove the red-eye effect is to follow the steps below:

1. Select an image in the Browser.

2. Create a new empty Adjustment Layer.

3. Select a brush in the Cursor tools or in the Layer tool panel. You can also use the shortcut B to draw a mask.

4. Draw the mask on the pupil area (that has the red-eye effect).

5. Go to the Color tool tab and navigate to the Advanced section of the Color Editor tool. Use a color picker and select the pupil.

6. Reduce the value of the Saturation slider for a chosen color range.

7. Repeat the same procedure for another eye if necessary.
