| Avoid Flash to Avoid Red-Eye SUMMARY: Increase available lighting to decrease the need for flash in your digital photos.
Whenever possible, take portraits in well-lit areas. This can help you avoid using flash when taking photos of people because of potential red-eye (flash can reflect badly off of a person's retinas, making them seem bright red in a photograph). Granted, many digital cameras come built-in with a red-eye reduction flash mode, but these, especially when found in inexpensive digital cameras, do not always result in perfect photos. And, while you can use photo-editing software to remove red-eye, this will require extra work and manual tweaking.
