Operation Manual

The Red Eye target overlay is placed over the red eye, and the red pixels within the Red
Eye 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 fixes red-eye in your images by desaturating the red pixels within the Red Eye
target overlay area. It’s a good idea to fit 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 affected 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.
To change the size of the Red Eye tool’s target
Do one of the following:
µ
Drag the Radius slider in the Red Eye HUD.
µ
If you have a mouse device with a scroll wheel, rotate the scroll wheel.
The size of the Red Eye tool’s target changes.
