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

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

Answer: (A)

Fixing red eye is about replacing the red color cast inside the pupil with a believable iris color while keeping the eye’s texture and lighting intact. The Color Replacement tool is ideal here because it lets you target that red area and swap it for a color you choose to match the iris. You sample the iris color, then paint with a soft brush over the red region. Because you're changing color values rather than stamping in new pixels, the eye’s highlights, shading, and texture stay natural, and you can fine‑tune with tolerance and brush size to blend seamlessly. This approach gives precise manual control, which is especially helpful when the eye has uneven lighting or a multi‑toned iris. In contrast, other tools can alter texture or blur edges, which makes the result look less natural.
