Hi, I'm a noob. I have Premiere Elements and PowerDirector.
PowerDirector has a wonderful ability to automatically detect and correct the redeye effect within its editor.
(The demon redeye is all too common in photos of my blue-eyed family.)

I cannot find such support in Premiere Elements. Does Elements have such a magic fixer? Does Premiere Pro?

Are you using pictures from a camera or movie clips from a camcorder?

IIRC, Premiere (Elements & Pro) don't come with specific functions that remove red eye from stills. You could probably do it with colour correction type effects but, it would take a bit of work! Red Eye from still is more the kind of functionality that comes with Photoshop (Pro & Elements) which both have extremely good functions to remove red eye and other unwanted things. Adobe has a pretty good site for detailling how to remove red eye by product which is here http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/popular_topics/redeye/ but, as you will see, there is nothing from Premiere.

If you are using photos, I would strongly suggest buying Photoshop Elements....it's very powerful and a bargin considering it's cheap price.

Thanks for the response and welcome.

I do have an older version of Photoshop (v7). It doesn't have anything built-in for redeye removal, though.

I followed your link and found tutorials on how to do it. The ones for my version of photoshop require 7-10 steps. <groan>
Some googling also yielded free photoshop "actions" for download. They're pretty good -- but still require you to lasso each eye.

FWIW, many free photoshop actions are available here:
