| DO I NEED BLUE EYE CORRECTION? |
If you take pictures, you know of red eye correction. Cameras now have it as an option in settings. Used to be just hit or miss, with light eyed-folks getting gifted by the
red eye look more often (less pigment) Anyway now that I have Liam I have become aware of the canine version of red eye which is
blue eye. There is a scientific reason for it. Humans have "red eye" because of a retina reflection. Liam and other animals have "blue eye" because of a special reflective layer termed tapetum, which gives them better night vision. However, it also causes a different color light reflection in the photo, often blue but also may vary with some pets showing
green, some exhibiting yellow. If my simplified explanations do not satisfy. Here are some links

and a fellow blogger who has found a fix for it
http://leonaruth.blogspot.com/2009/12/photoshop-removing-blue-eye.html
My fixes are:
1-At night and low light-no headshots
 |
| NIGHT SHOT WITH BLUE EYES |
2-try again and delete the blue eyed pic
 |
| BLUE EYES |
 |
| SECOND TRY -NO BLUE EYE |
3-Black and white setting. This color change setting on my camera is entitled possessively "my colors" some of its offerings: green, sepia, blue, red, black and white.
The B/W setting has an advantage in-that it fixes the rust effect on our lawn furniture, as well as the paver water stains as well as evoking that old time feeling see next
 |
| BLUE EYES, RUST ON TABLE |
 |
| NO BLUE EYES AND NO RUST |
|
|
 |
| BLOCKING EYES WITH CHAIR LEG IS ANOTHER FIX |
I take many pix of Liam; I will try to keep his brown eyes from turning
blue
Woof, Woof
