P: Please add red eye removal

It was marked as being under consideration.

Seems that after three years, the consideration has been made, no? 

Made sometime in the future? Perhaps, the future still exists. 

In the meantime, there are ways to reduce red eye in LR; maybe you should try it?

It is NOT all about you. These products are extremely complex, and decisions have to be made about prioritizing what are the most and what are the least urgent changes, and also a cost vs benefit consideration. In the greater population of users, what percentage are sitting around on a puckered sphincter, full of angst about Red Eye, especially when there are ways to deal with it already?

@benjamin_warde  Hi ben

This has been requested for 3 years. It was marked as being under consideration. 14 months ago ago you said it would be done at some point in the future? Implying some reasonable point in the future. I don't understand why you have not updated the community? Is this function coming or not? While I accept the advice of my learned community members that flashes can be switched off, my kids often don't and then are sooo disappointed. Or is this just some crazy way to get us all to buy photoshop as well??

Please respond

Thanks

I also suggest that the poster should learn how to use Photoshop, which DOES have redeye removal.

I provided an easy fix. 

Re: my point to DGrainger, this is not about taking pictures today; it's about an easy fix for scanned photos from the 1990s that do have red-eye. That said, I don't disagree with Martyn's point (which I am paraphrasing) that effective software solves problems quickly and easily.  Many of us have lives far too busy for a work-around.

Don't judge people who use Iphones etc not "real" kit.

I've had iPhone's for years, just got the 12Pro. I know how to turn OFF the flash, do you? 

I provided a way to remove red eye in LR. Better yet, keep this in mind: GIGO:Garbage In Garbage Out 

The issue is fixing scanned photos that were taken in 1990s, not natively taken photos today.  And the reality is I've got a hundred other hobbies that take precedence over this; I need an easy fix and Aperture was an easy fix, and I'm still mad about being forced to transfer to a far inferior platform.

Real photogs don't use flash that can cause red eye...

Indeed, if red eye in lots of shots are your problem, your problem is needing to learn basic photography. But one can remove a great deal of red eye anyway, using spot correction on the eye with negative saturation etc. I'd provide an example but don't capture images with red eye, but one can see the effect using such a correction on something red.

 Your comment is rather pathetic too. Instead of stamping your feet and screaming like a 3 year old, why don't you just turn off the on board flash on your camera or learn more about how to edit photos? Real photogs don't use flash that can cause red eye...
