Photoshop CS’ documentation recommends red-eye reduction be done with the Color Replacement Tool.
I found the the Color Replacement Tool will only draw color with the same brightness as the one it is replacing. Picking BLACK as the foreground color (as suggested) to replace the RED will only draw "GREY" and not "BLACK" since the red it is replacing has some brightness. Am I missing something? Can someone help me replace the RED with BLACK?

Thanks

Make selections around the eyes with the elliptical marquee tool, with a fraction of a pixel of feathering, depending on resolution/size of the image. Then go to Image > Adjust > Channel Mixer and slide the amount of red towards zero.

You can also create a new layer and fill with the black and blend it with the layer below, if you want.
