Message created by red eye tool

    I just did some fiddling around to get used to the new beta of photo editor.

    Since the red eye tool is sometimes a source for complaints in pro 2 I also played with it a bit.
    I was using demo files and had not really red eyed pictures at hand.

    I just opened a random jpeg from my drive. Every time I used the tool on a spot it gave me the message
    "warning: no pixels were selected".

    So I tried to find a picture with red eyes to actually test the tool and the message did not show up again. I used the tool with the same picture on a spot that had no red in it i.e. white wall and there it was again.

    After a while of thinking and sorting my English I thought that the message might make sense because the program is trying to tell me that no red spots were found.

    But in this case it might be clearer if the message box would read ...were affected - instead of ...were selected.

    That way the situation would be much clearer do the user immediately - wouldn't it?
    Or even clearer - Warning: no red eyes found to be removed?!

    I just wanted to add that I haven't been able to get this function to work at all. I have been trying to fix a photo with very bad red-eye - if I wrap a square around the eye, it gives the message noted above and if I just click on the red part of the eye, it darkens a large, odd shaped part of my photo but the red eye is still there. Its very odd.

    Hello tinabinab,

    We tried Red eye tool and it seems that the tool works correctly. One possible reason why red color still exists is the Opacity is set to small value like 20-30%. It is necessary to increase it (70-80%)-this can fix the problem.

    Thank you
    Mark
