Redeye removal

Running Gimp 2.4.4 and have tried the Redeye removal feature ( not too
much success ) but have not been able to find any other plug-in.
Is one available ?
Kind regards,Richard

A couple of things you could try.

There is a script in the fxfoundry set of filters that deals with red eye.
guldahl-red-eye - you can get the set (only 250KB) from
http://gimpfx-foundry.sourceforge.net/
personally I don't think its any better than the regular filter, but then
I only need this function very occasionally.


Unless you have a lot of images to process I would go for a manual
solution - see:

If you have the pspi plugin for photoshop .8bf plugs installed, then the
red eye filter from alphaplugins works (just)
http://www.alphaplugins.com
supposed to be free.

Thank You very much Rich for the prompt reply and for the links that you
sent me.
I have now learnt a lot and managed to correct two group shots .
I used the Filters-enhance -Redeye removal method and I found the best
way was to do it eye by eye--quite a laborious job.
But very effective---
Much appreciated, Richard

There are many ways to remove redeye. The way that I found to work the
best for me is to use Colorize. This works especially well for brown
eyes.

OK, I had to read that twice. Especialy the one about the 'brown eye'.
