Red Eye" is a common problem that occurs in flash photography. When the camera flashes, the light reflects of the interior surface of the back of the subject's eyes, causing bright red spots to appear in the photo. This creates an unattractive photo, but the problem is very correctable. Using a free program or Web-based tool, you can remove the red eye effect from a digital photo and achieve a more attractive result.
