Quick Steps to Fix Red Eye on iPhone
Before we get into the steps to remove red-eye from a photo on your iPhone, let’s take a minute to understand why it occurs. In dark environments, a person’s pupils dilate to let in more light.
When you use a flash to take a photo suddenly, the pupils don’t contract quickly enough, and the flash creates a reflection on both the retinas. This causes the red-eye effect!
Like most modern cameras, the iPhone has a feature to avoid red-eye. If you’ve enabled the flash on your iPhone, it fires twice when taking a photo. Nevertheless, if you’re still seeing the red-eye effect on pictures on your iPhone, follow these steps.
Step 1: Open the Photos app on your iPhone and open the photo you want to fix. Let’s use this photo as an example.
Step 2: Tap on Edit in the top-right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Activate the red-eye correction tool.
Step 4: Carefully tap on the red points in the pupils. If you get a message saying, ‘Did not find a red-eye to correct,’ keep trying until you get the result you’re looking for.
Step 5: You can also make other edits to the photo in the Photos app, like adjusting exposure, adding filters, and cropping. Once you’re happy with the final result, tap on Done!
The red-eye removal tool might not work on a picture of a cat or a dog that shows a different color, like green. Fortunately, Adobe Photoshop Express can remove pet eyes if that’s what you’re looking for. You can also check out Pixl and Red Eye Corrector for more features.
