Removing red eyes with Gimp

Red eyes are a recurrent feature of cameras with an integrated flash in the lens optical axis (as with compact digital cameras). Here is a comparatively simple and efficient solution with Gimp (free pictures editing software, with a GPL licence).

Prerequisites:
  • Activate the external call to Gimp (refer to the "calling external tools" chapter).
  • Download this script, unzip and save it in the following folder:
    • with GNU/Linux: /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/
    • with Windows: C:\Program Files\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\scripts
Implementation:
  1. In jBrout, right-click on the picture you want to modify, then select the "Edit with Gimp" option from the "External tools" submenu.
  2. In Gimp, select the "Select elliptical regions" tool  (E key or "Tools"/"Selection Tools"/"Ellipse Tools" from the menu).
  3. Select the first eye red area (hold down the CTRL-key in order to select an area from the center of the eye).
  4. Select the "Red eyes" option from the "Script-Fu"/"Photo" menu/submenu.
  5. Do the same thing for the second eye, starting from point 3.
  6. Save the picture ("Save" option from the "File" menu).
  7. Exit Gimp (CTRL+Q).
