interesting red eye problem

I have a photo with red eye, one of the eyes has some strands of hair over it. When I try to select this eye (I used a rectangle) for red eye removal, the red eye filter gets confused because of the hair and consequently removes the colour from the hair along with the colour from the red eye. Will I have to try and remove the red from the eye the hard way manually? :-) Hard to do as when I zoom in that much the strands of hair are difficult to pick out. Help please. thanks

It may depend on the hair color. If they are pale blonde or on the contrary very black (i.e. without red in their color), you can try working only on the Red channel. There you can use the Dodge/Burn tool, for example. This will not use the red eye removal filter, which works only on very simple cases.

Is there a particular reason you don't want to use a mask to hide the hair from the filter? :)

-- Thanks for your reply. There is red in the hair but I will take your advice and try it on a different channel, does CNN work? I\'m a newbie :-)
