I do it in Paint Shop, by hand. I'm sure there's an easier way!

OK just did this in the time since my last post. This is all I know how to do.

Right, it's definitely a orange/yellow glow, which is why the normal red eye corrector doesn't work I suppose! What do you do in Photoshop to fix it?

I use the paint tool set to one pixel, and draw where it should be black (but I don't use jet black, I use the dropper to select a color from a dark part of the photo I am working with). Then I use the blur/soften tool on one or two pixels. Then I gamma correct the whole thing darker to make it blend even better. I had to do the background on this one because in order to rotate it to the correct angle, it cut off so much that I couldn't crop it without cutting part of the dog off- so I just blacked out the background.

I use Photoshop. I clone a dark color from somewhere in the picture, the use the circle pen tool the right size and "copy" the dark color on top of the glow. Then I clone a white or light color spot in the picture to make the white spot on each each eye, using a tiny circle.
I'm using photoshop as well to correct doggy red eyes..
1. make a selection of the eye
2. feather 2-3 pixels
3. copy and paste so the selection pasted to a new layer (I usually work in layers so I can just delete a layer when I get screwed up)
4. desaturate the new layer.. then press (ctrl?) and click the eye part to make the selection from that eye part
5. create a new later.. fill jet black to the new layer with selection from the eye
6. change the blending of the new black layer to overlay and play around with opacity.
I don't have photoshop installed in my laptop, so I may have missed some steps or even put unnecessary steps in above description. It's been a while since I corrected doggy red eyes too, so the description above is just something that comes up on top of my head.. I will post again on monday when I'm at work. Who knows I can find an easier steps too
