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:
- In jBrout, right-click on the picture you want to modify, then select the "Edit with Gimp" option from the "External tools" submenu.
- In Gimp, select the "Select elliptical regions" tool (E key or "Tools"/"Selection Tools"/"Ellipse Tools" from the menu).
- Select the first eye red area (hold down the CTRL-key in order to select an area from the center of the eye).
- Select the "Red eyes" option from the "Script-Fu"/"Photo" menu/submenu.
- Do the same thing for the second eye, starting from point 3.
- Save the picture ("Save" option from the "File" menu).
- Exit Gimp (CTRL+Q).
