dadyassa Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Well you only have yourself to blame.... you was told not to read Lady Chatterley's lover when you were younger. Then i suppose you progressed to the Karma Sutra. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on a photo where the eyes are very small you have a very small target to click on. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I really do like the program, especially the slide show facility. I agree about the redye function however, it is useless. A far better free program for eliminating redye is Ofoto. Download the uploading program, and you will find a first class redye reduction facility there. You don't have to use their services. I also find the cropping feature good, as you can select 7" X 5" format, which is ideal for fitting four pictures onto an A4 sheet.Ofoto now.

dadyassa Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Redeye update......A workround from our friends at Picasa 2."Hello John,It is not possible to use Picasa 2's zoom when performing red-eyecorrection. However, the following instructions that were provided to usby a Picasa 2 user offer an effective work around:1. Press the 'Crop' button.2. Select the 'Manual' button.3. Draw a small box to only include the red eyes to be fixed.4. Press the 'Apply' button.5. Press the 'Redeye' button. 6. Drag a small box around each eye to remove red eye.7. Press the 'Apply' button.8. Press the 'Recrop' button.9. Press the 'Reset' button. Your picture will return to normal size withthe red eyes fixed.10. Press the 'Apply' button.You can now save (File > Save a Copy) or 'Export' the picture to create anew file based on the edits you have made.Sincerely, Jaysie " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
