Where is the darken slider in lightroom 3? Red eye reduction seems to make the pupil a pale gray. I do not see a darken slider at all.

Mine looks like this. What am I doing wrong?

Oh. I see. When you successfully get the eye highlighted, the slider comes up. But, it still won't make the pupil black? Is this a known problem with wildlife shots?

Here's an example of a shot of an aye aye. Note that one eye is not being selected properly at all. And, the other is now as dark as I can make it with the slider and is still not black.

Here is what the image looked like before attempting red eye correction.

If you have ridiculously blown-out pupils, you may need a whole bunch of red-eye applications to correct it, and since it's only "red" eye, it has trouble with many type of wildlife that produces "green" eyes or other. Fixing that is a long-standing feature request.

Nocturnal critters taken with spotlights on them and bright flash often do have ridiculously blown out pupils in the photos, at least in the photos that come out at all. Perhaps we need to request something explicitly called aye aye red eye reduction. Ai ai ai.

Thanks for the help.

Do you know why I can't darken all the way to black even when I successfully get the eye highlighted?

Because that's how it was designed. Full dark is limited.

How come if you're editing an image in Adobe Lightroom and then want to open that same file in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Element that the work that you've already done in Adobe Lightroom don't carry over? For example, if you've been doing retouching of an image in Adobe Lightroom and then want to take that image file into Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Element the retouching don't carry over.

It generally needs to be a matching ACR version in Photoshop or Elements, which understands how to translate LR's settings. Alternatively, LR needs to render the file as a TIFF/PSD before passing that to PS or PSE.
