Siamese redeye work.

I took the liberty of attempting what seemd to be a bit of a problem.

It is.

Siamese cats have blue eyes.

My attempt at the modification to PinkFlamingoDT's picture was as follows:

1) The eyes were made human aqua:6 (lightest), feather:4 (to match the focus of the rest of the picture), Iris:8 (to minimise human pupil), Blur:0 (other values may be better, but I was not behind the camera)

2) The Redeye removal tool was re-selected and auto animal eye was chosen. I placed an eye in a clear space to shape the pupil to what I imagine the original looked like. I resized the created 'pupil' to an appropriate size for the eye (note: this is done with feather:1, Blur:0). I placed the new pupil on the eye and zoomed in closer. I then used the rotate feature of animal eyes to angle the elliptical pupil to an appropriate position for the face and moved the pupil to a position that would focus the eye at a point, I chose to the right of the photographer. Now I applied Pupil lightness:56 ( animal eyes always seem to reflect some light), Glint Size:20, Glint Lightness:90, Feather:3 and Blur:1.

The second eye was done the same way.

I hope the result is acceptable. It just seemed to me to be an irrisistable challenge!

Thanks.
