Nothing is more disappointing than getting that “perfect” shot, then finding out your child’s pupil’s have red eye. To prevent this, a couple tips can be used. First, if the lighting is adequate, the flash may not be necessary. However, if it is necessary, a remote flash can be used. Now, I know many of us do not own a remote flash, so therefore the last alternative is using a software program to remove the red eye effect. Photoshop is an excellent program, but is expensive if you do not already own it. There is an excellent free open source program that is nearly as powerful as Photoshop available to all, yet it costs nothing. A simple search will lead you to a program called GIMP. It even looks like Photoshop, and is produced by a community effort, with changes and improvements done on a voluntary basis. I think this program is phenomenal. Happy shooting!
