One-click red eye removal program for Mac

Can anyone recommend a good photo editing software program that offers one click red eye removal. On my PC I have a program that came with my Olympus digital camera, called Camedia Master 2.0. This is software that came with the camera, there is very little that it does, BUT it has one of the best one-click red eye removal tools that I have ever used, and it beats the time it used to take me in Adobe Photoshop. I read an article on the net that said red eye removal is the most requested photo-editing task, so why does Photoshop not have a one-click tool for doing so, you have to go to a almost freeware program to get a valuable tool.

And all of you people who use Photoshop everyday, please dont post that it doesnt take that long to remove red eye in Photoshop, I know that, I use it to, I am looking for something for the other 95% of people that dabble in digital photography.

iPhoto has a red eye removal feature. Have you tried that?

EEERRRRR

I think Adobe released Photoshop Elements to cater to the general consumer market. I believe it has a red eye correction tool.
As for the professional Adobe Photoshop adopting a consumer feature such as "one click red eye removal", I think it is unlikely.
A.C. Rempt pointed out iphoto as well.
Keep checkin version tracker as well.

The red-eye removal feature in iPhoto is useless. It makes the eyes black. Unless you want your subjects to look like devils, forget it.
Ive heard that Adobe Photo Elements (is it just Adobe Elements?) is an excellent digital photo app. One seasoned Photoshop user posted that he uses Elements 90% of the time. For basic tasks, of course. Its about $89.

Yes, I tried the iPhoto red eye removal tool and I concur with the ReynardMW, not good with red eye.

I had removed red eye from a photo in Camedia Master, closed it, then opened it in Adobe PhotoShop, I magnified it to the eye, and on this particular photo the tool removed the red eye and made a slight blend from the inside ring of the iris to the small white dot that usually accompanies a flash photo. In one click. Not Bad.

After I posted this afternoon, I checked Olympuss web site and found a version of their Camedia Master software for OS X, for $19.95 plus shipping, Im hoping (couldnt tell from the description) that it has the same tool, I will post if it does.

So people with black eyes look like devils?
Shakira has solid black eyes... she doesn't look like a devil to me....

You should try that delightful red eye command in iPhoto. Not only will the iris become black, and the "white" of the eye, but in my son's photos all the way through his eyebrow!

And your counter argument that Shakira's eyes are black and she isnt a devil is not a strong one anyway. She must be at least half devil to dance like that. Hmmmm, and come to think of it my son...yes, perhaps the iPhoto red eye removal is really a devil outing-command, like putting a cross to a vampire. Im going to take a picture of my dentist to test the theory.

Er, are you selecting the eye, and only the pupil of the eye? If you zoom in, and only select the pupil, it actually doesn't do too bad. The only problem in my opinion is that it only has rectangular selection tools, and you can't lasso the eye.

I concur with pyrogen, you won't be seeing Photoshop with a red eye removal feature as it's for more advanced use, that is why they released Photoshop Elements

You can down load PhotoShop Elements for free and try it for 30 day right now on Apples site. I did and it is a great program I will be buying it very soon, right after 30 days probably

Re: One-click red eye removal program for Mac

Jeff,

Don't make the mistake I did and simply buy a serial number for the downloaded version you have. Go to Adobe's store (or any online store for that matter) and buy the package. That way you get the CD and manual -- otherwise Adobe will charge you extra for them ($20 and $50 respectively, or nearly the cost of the serial number alone). It's a total scam and ripoff, and I feel sorry for Adobe's employee's who must explain it to angry customers such as I.
