Which tool should be used to fix red eye in images?

• A. Red Eye Tool
• B. Healing Brush
• C. Color Replacement
• D. Clone Stamp

Answer: (C)

Color Replacement gives you precise control over what the eye color should look like after correction. By sampling the natural iris color and painting over the red areas, you can replace the red pixels with a color that matches the surrounding eye, while preserving highlights and texture. This makes the fix look natural across different lighting and eye tones, which is why it’s the best choice in this context.

The Red Eye Tool can handle many red-eye cases quickly, but it may not always blend perfectly with every iris color or lighting condition. The Healing Brush and Clone Stamp can fix texture or nearby areas, but they’re more work and can alter the eye’s natural look if not used carefully.
