Photography Asked by Fer on January 17, 2021
On a recent trip to Madagascar, we were able to capture some interesting animals during the night, where of course we used flash. The following photo is not made by me…

…but we have many with the same problem as in that photo: yellow eyes. Applying standard red eye post processing on it results in light grey, which looks equally unnatural as yellow.
I was wondering if anybody knows of an easy way to post process this into a natural look, other than of course manual painting, which is a painful exercise. One thing I have tried so far is selective color replacement, but that still is a very diligent process
in Photoshop cs6:
Make a hue sat layer with a mask of the eyes on it. in the yellow channel try lowering the saturation and brightness. Maybe even pushing the yellow into a more neutral color

You can use a program like The GIMP or Photoshop to burn into the Y channel in the eye area.
On GIMP's page, there's an old tutorial that sort of follows the process.
However, instead of using the Channels directly, you should Decompose the image ([Colors]->[Components]->[Decompose]->"CMYK") and work on the resulting yellow-k layer.
When you're done, just Recompose.
Photoshop's menus vary, but it must have something very similar.

I would use Photoshop to zoom in on the eyes, select the areas of the eyes that you want to remove the yellow from...after making your selection, go to "hue/saturation", choose yellow, and bring down saturation to get the yellow out.

For Mac OSX fans, GraphicConverter has a RedEyeRemoval tool. You can configure the tool to be essentially an "AnyUglyColorEyeRemoval" tool by eyedrop-sampling the retina color in your photo and feeding that to the removal algorithm.
