As always, you can Edit → Undo until you make the right selections. On this web sized image, the 3 x 3 fuzzy brush didn’t work fast enough. As usual, your choice depends on the resolution of your image. I ended up using the 5 x 5 fuzzy brush that came with the GIMP tarball. I zoomed in on the image, 4:1 ratio, as this is almost pixel by pixel work. I learned the following method from tigert while lurking on the irc late late one night. So, until this lovely child is able to understand “look at my shoulder” it is good to know that red eye can be fixed, somewhat. The cause of red eye is the flash reflecting from the back of the eye and into the lens. The best way to fix red eye on photos is to have those intense people look at the photographers shoulder. They do not have a button that works to prevent this yet, so don’t even try it. Well, welcome to the future when you can get a pretty good image from a camera with the flash built in. It used to be that the photos with red eye weren’t really worth fixing as only cheesy cameras had the flash built in and underneath the red eyes was a crappy photo.
