Correcting "Red Eye"

There is a scientific reason for "red eye" to occur in photos.  The eyes look red because light from the flash is reflected to the camera lens from blood vessels in the retinas (on the back interior of the eyeballs). This doesn't happen outdoors in daylight, but can happen at night when a flash is used.  When we are in dim light, our pupils dilate to let more light in so that we can see better. So the opening that lets light in (and back out of) our eyes is generally larger indoors than when we're out in daylight.

So, how can we correct his?  A push of the button in Photo Story does all the work for us, identifying red eye, and correcting it.

Here is a before picture from our story, with a bit of red eye on the center subject.

By simply pressing the redeye correction button, we are able to digitally correct this.

Red Eye correction can also be found under the Edit... button's Edit Pictures Dialog.  Select the AutoFix tab to access Red Eye correction,
