Hate to admit it but ... PSP has a decent red eye removal. Actually you pick out the type of eye (auto animal, auto human, freehand pupil outline or point-to-point pupil outline). Can pick the size and color of iris, size and lightness of glint, size and lightness pupil plus some blur and feathering.

Hmmm come to think of it shouldn't be called Red Eye Removal ... should be called iris/pupil replacement.

Joe, you can try this...

Step one:
Open your image and set the mode to RGB Color.

Step two:
Zoom in until you can easily select the pupil of the eyes.

Step three:
Using the ellipse selection tool, make a selection of one of the pupils (make sure all of the red eye is inside your selection).

Step four:
Hold down the shift key and select the other eye. (for aliens or creatures with multiple eyes, continue holding down the shift key until all eyes are selected ;) )

Step five:
Open the channels palette and select the Blue channel.

Step six:
Copy the Blue channel.

Step seven:
Select the Red channel.

Step eight:
Paste your selection into the Red channel.

Step eight:
Switch back to RGB and deselect.

The information in the blue channel has now been copied over the information in the red channel within the selection and the red-eye is eliminated!!!

In Photoshop select the Sponge tool. Pick a brush size about the size of the red eye. Set the Sponge tool to Desaturate at 100%. Desaturate the red eyes with the Sponge tool.

You might be a bit late on the 3 year old question.
