We have a lovely Shih Tzu puppy. When I need to use a flash to take his picture – he rarely sits still – occassionally I will only have time to use the small on-camera flash. Often this results in "yellow eye" (or the pet equivalent of human’s Red Eye). I have an action for PS that will remove Red Eye (or can use the Red Eye tool in PSCS2) however it does not work on "Yellow Eye" or even "Green Eye" (in cats). Any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve

REMOVING RED EYE WITH THE COLOR REPLACE TOOL
Set the foreground colour to black(D), select the colour replacement tool – under the healing brush in the toolbox. click on the red area in the eyes, and then paint it away – the brush snaps to the red colour – out of interest move your cursor over the tool’s icon in the Toolbox, the eye in the icon changes to red!!.
RED EYE REMOVAL:2
Use marquee tool (or your fav selection tool) to highlight the pupil. Open your channels palette, and select the green channel. Ctrl + C (PC) to copy green. Select the red channel and Ctrl + V to paste green channel to red. Select the RGB channel and deselect marquee.
RED EYE REMOVAL:3
1.Make a Channel mixer adjustment layer and set the Red channel to Red 0%, Green 50%, Blue 50%. Don’t get scared you’ll get a completely off color image.
2.Now select the mask of the adjustment layer and fill it with black by pressing Alt-Backspace. As the last step select the paint brush and paint on the mask with white to reveal the effect of the adjustment layer. Select the paint brush the size of the red spot in the eye.
RED EYE REMOVAL:4
After zooming right in use the magic wand tool to select (use the shift key to add to the selection) all the red areas – Set the foreground to black – use the paint bucket tool – paint mode to darken – opacity about 60% – pour into the eyes – this darkens whilst retaining detail (it doesn’t matter if it goes into the central reflective white spot) – then use a small soft paintbrush set to white – mode lighten – about 65% opacity and dab in the highlights.

Thanks for trying but normal "red eye" solutions will not work (atleast the ones I have tried) on animals because the iris does not turn red – it usually turns yellow in dogs and either yellow or green in cats. (Has to do with the workings of the inside of their eyes as opposed to human eyes.)

Here’s a tutorial by Janee on fixing pet "demon eye". It is a manual process involving repainting the eye, but the tutorial is amusing and has some fine points that are helpful.

The old method used to be select the red channel , use the magic wand to select the bright areas in the eye, then darken the selection. I suppose this might work if the colour is green (use the green channel rather than red) or yellow (the yellow channel only appear if you’re using CMYK rather than RGB (Image, Mode, from the menu bar).
