New Photoshop Plug-In Removes Red-Eye

Press release
DataMind Srl introduced Beryl Plug-in 1.0, their new, professional level digital image processing plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Elements. Leveraging DataMind’s proprietary state-of-the-art algorithms, Beryl is a Photoshop plug-in that automatically removes the red-eye effect from digital photos.
With a focus on ease-of-use, choose to have Beryl process images automatically, or manually select the threshold amount of removal required. In both automatic or manual mode, users can set the intensity of correction. In manual mode, Beryl goes one step further by letting them choose between two sub-buttons (Find or Delete). When selecting Find, the single eye, or the area that needs the correction, is discovered and pressing the second deletes the correction.
It has never been so easy to remove red-eye from digital images in Photoshop. The focus of this plug-in is to provide painless and error free results each and every time. Beryl is available in two versions: one ready to install for Adobe Photoshop CS3 or Elements, the other for Adobe Photoshop CS4.
Feature highlights include:
* One-Button Automatic Red-Eye Removal
* Fine-tune Threshold Values, independent of selection
* Supports Adobe Photoshop CS3 or Elements and Adobe Photoshop CS4
“Beryl takes advantage of our new algorithms, and was created to support and supplement the Jade product range – our best application and filter,” said Sebastian Raducci, CEO of DataMind Srl. “It’s great for home or semi-professional users, and is similar to Photoshop’s Red Eye tool, with the addition that you can use all the selecting tools provided by Photoshop.”
Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.5 (Leopard) or higher
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
* Adobe Photoshop CS4 or CS3/Elements
* 4.4 MB Hard Drive space
Pricing and Availability:
Beryl Plug-in 1.0 is 49.99 Euros, and offered for both Adobe Photoshop CS4 or CS3/Elements. Beryl is available as a full-featured 30-day demo.

    Hmmm – it’s already pretty easy to fix Red Eye right in PS, but in my opinion that money would be better spent on an external flash unit to help avoid red eye to begin with…
