Red-eye removal removes the "red eye" effect in color images by converting the red color in the eye to the new specified color. ImageGear's Red-Eye Removal works by detecting an area around a specified point where the colors correspond to the point color with the specified threshold. This detected area is saved as a Region of Interest (ROI) of the raster page. Red eye is then removed for every point in the ROI of a raster page. It is designed only for red eye removal, not other colors (as may occur with animal eyes).

The ImGearPixelCheckerRedEyeRGB.CheckPixel Method, (when an instance of the ImGearPixelCheckerRedEyeRGB class is being used with the ImGearEffects.DetectArea Method), detects an area around specified point where the colors correspond to the point color with the specified threshold.

For example, the color of the specified point is:

Red == 212;

Green == 96;

Blue == 128;

And threshold is 10.

The method detects a closed polygon around the specified point in which the color components belong to the range.

Red - 202.. 222;

Green - 86..106

Blue - 118.. 138

The ImGearPixelProcessorRedEyeRGB.ProcessPixel Method, (when an instance of the ImGearPixelProcessorRedEyeRGB class is being used with ImGearEffects.ProcessArea Method), removes red eye for every point in the ROI of a raster page.

The following are some examples of corrected color values:

210,39,71 -> 25,23,26

186,77,82 -> 64,54,53

236,95,101 -> 80,80,78
