Zoner Photo Studio Free will do the trick:

You can also try LightBox Image Editor:

Ask your doctor. He can probably proscribe something for you.

I know you are asking about a tool to remove red eye from pictures. Almost every image editor, image viewer, or other image tool has a red eye removal tool built in. Many work about the same. They automatically analyze the picture for that distinct round circle which is color of red that is produced by the reflected light from the eye and then simply desaturated that spot using a special process to make it look as natural as possible. (i.e. it does not actually remove anything other than the color) So I would not say any one tool that does it using this method is better than another.

However some tools also recognize animal "red-eye" which is not always red. Some cats and dogs for example reflect "green-eye" "yellow-eye" other colors or sometimes just white!

I think that the tools that make you select the spots manually, tend to do a better job of making the eye look more natural. One non free tool I know of actually takes it a step further, and "rebuilts' the eye a bit which gave better results on close up portraits, but they required user input to select the eye color, shape, and other details. I don't know of a free tool that will do the same thing.

Anyway the tools I would recommend you look at are...

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multime...over-Pro.shtml
http://www.photopos.com/Pos-Free-Red-Eye-Wiz.asp

or as Torres points out above any of the image editors or some of the image viewers reviewed on our main site should do the trick. http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...tal-editor.htm http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...age-viewer.htm

In this aricle, an online tool (Picnik) is described which works pretty well for my cat's eyes. Works for human red-eyes, too.

Hi Farid and welcome to the forum. I've removed the link you originally posted and added a link for Picnik instead, since the site from the original link advertises a commercial product.
