Step 2: colour correction via Photoshop
Once the eyes are selected, it will discolor the red areas.
- To do this, open the menu "image" - "correction"- "hue/saturation". (Shortcut: Ctrl + U)
- Choose the Reds and move the brightness slider to the left to -100.
- The red eyes should be black, and the reflection of the flash visible.
