7. Taking (out) the red eye.
Red eye is what happens a whole lot when using most compact cameras – it's because the flash and the lens are so close together. Fortunately, it's also one of the easiest things to get rid of. In any post-processing program (we recommend iPhoto on Mac, and Picasa on PC), there's an actual red-eye removal button: Just choose it, select the red eyes in the photo, and boom: digital Visine. Of course, the problem is that these programs don't know what color said eyes are actually supposed to be – so often you end up giving your blue-eyed girlfriend black eyes. Then again, pushing the red-eye correction button is a lot less expensive than buying colored contact lenses, so the creative license is up to you. In addition, some cameras now have built-in red-eye reduction, which can also work pretty well, and keeps you from having to do as many edits on the back end.

Red Eye has nothing to do with eye color. It is caused by the light entering the pupil and reflecting back from the retina at the back of the eye. It only appears where the pupil opening is. In fact that is how the red eye reduction works in most camera flashes. It sets off an initial flash to cause the pupil to contract to a smaller size so less light can reflect inside the eye and appear red.
It does not affect nor change the eye color of the subject. Blue eyes remain blue, brown eyes remain brown and green eyes remain elusive...
