A method for removing red eyes includes (1) identifying potential red eye pixels in a low resolution image (hereafter “LR red eye pixels”), (2) grouping contiguous LR red eye pixels into red eye regions (herafter “LR red eye regions”), (3) determining working areas around the LR red eye regions (hereafter “LR working areas”), (4) determining classifiers from the LR working areas, (5) retrieving working areas from a high resolution image that correspond to the LR working areas (hereafter “HR working areas”), (6) applying the classifiers to the HR working areas to identify potential red eye pixels (hereafter “HR red eye pixels”), (7) grouping contiguous HR red eye pixels into red eye regions (hereafter “HR red eye regions”), (8) determining some of the HR red eye regions as the red eyes, and (9) replacing the HR red eye pixels in the red eyes with black pixels.
