Red eye fix without computer?

Mar '10 CaryHaven

I have some older photos (from 20 years ago when I was first learning to take pictures) and I need to remove the red-eye out of several rolls of film that are otherwise good pictures. Theoretically I could upload them, fix the problem, find the grainy matte photo paper the others are printed on, and reprint them in the old 3 1/2 by 5 size they used to come in to match the others, but there are a lot of them. I'm hoping someone can tell me I can just take a Sharpie to them or one of those "red eye rescue" pens but I don't know that they'll look any better, but instead just have big black eyes. LOL Any ideas?

The red eye rescue pen is pretty subtle - actually sometimes too subtle and doesn't re-colour enough but it might be worth a try.

The red eye pen works well. In a pinch, a blue highlighter can also neutralize the red.

I think your best bet is going to be uploading and fixing them digitally.

Thanks all. I will prob try the pen/highlighter first........then go to the upload as a last resort. It's just so much more work on top of an already overwhelming amount to scrapbook. I'm wondering if the highlighter will smear or smudge behind plastic even after it's dry though? I'm going to do a test run on a junk photo.

I have a zig red eye remover pen -- it works very well and lasts forever (I have had it for ten years!)

I also prefer the Zig brand red eye pen. Have had really good success with it in the past.

On this same token, is there a "pet eye" remover pen? I have some pics of my dog and his eyes look very blue (he has brown eyes). If there is no pet eye pen, would the red eye pen work as well?

Yes, I just saw them somewhere (here or possibly Amazon) where they sold them in a pack of pens - red eye removal, pet eye pen, and a couple others that I can't remember now. If I can find it again, I will post. My red eye removal pen just came today in the mail, and I'm very excited to try it out!
