Yes, you’ve missed Channels.
Select the RED Channel, choose your black brush, and darken the white eye area.

There are a dozen ways to remove red-eye. And there are dozens of red-eye type removal problems. Automation might be OK if you had a common red eye effect, but often the effect varies so much that automated solutions don’t always work, then you have to back up. Catch light can vary in it’s size and realism, or the size of the pupil area can be exaggerated, to name a couple, depending on camera angle and lighting. I find that each photo often requires a slightly different approach.

The main idea is to desaturate the area, then fill with black, since the pupil is always black and it is the iris that imparts eye color which you want to retain. Most tutorials call for using the desaturate function. I prefer using the sponge tool in desaturate mode to tease the color out carefully within the iris, then the burn tool to darken it to black. This also give me a chance to alter the pupil size slightly if needed. I haven’t seen this given as a common technique.

The red-eye in your images is caused by light reflecting off the retina, which is a fine network of nerves in the back of the eye, an area rich in blood. Although the retina is not normally visible, if the flash is on the same plane as the lens, the light bounces directly back into the lens and the retina becomes visible in the photo, causing red-eye. This has become more common with smaller compact digital cameras where the flash is very close to the lens. Have you ever noticed that a professional photographer’s flash is mounted high on the camera? Sometimes a pro will even take it off the camera.

The fact that the pupil is expanded to its maximum under most flash conditions only exaggerates the problem. Cameras with red-eye reduction will
fire the flash two or more times: the first time to constrict the pupils, the second time to expose the image.

Red-eye-reduction software keys on the red and applies a correction. The correction is usually made by desaturating the color in the area. This will appear more natural than if it were filled with black or matched to the surrounding color of the iris (both treatments tend to make your subject look like an alien).
