SOME1 PLZ DO REPLY .. ..

I found a technique that has worked for me using Photoshop Elements and instructions at the following link: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/redeyeremoval/ss/peteye.htm

It's designed for pet "white eye" but can work for people as well. In one case I just needed to change foreground color to a dark brown instead of black in their example.

Yeah I've used the link larryfis posted to correct my photos but it takes a long time and you can tell the eyes have been photoshopped. It's really annoying that the iPhone's camera makes you do this in the first place. Their flash is basically useless

It seems to me that since I "upgraded" my iphone and computers to the icloud system, my photos are all coming out with white eyes. The photos are useless this way. Apple should step up and fix this problem. At least the red eyes can be fixed--I'd rather go back to that issue.

The red-eye fixer in iOS5's built-in photo editor does a decent job of killing the white eye. If you have iPhoto '11 It then transfers the edited and original photos too, so you can "revert to original" in iPhoto... but if you do, you can't re-apply the "white eye" fix within iPhoto.

It's not perfect--if the picture's a bit motion-blurry, or the white eye blends into the skin around the eyes, the black filler will splotch outside the eye, or fill in the white center which also looks weird. It's not obvious when this happens because you can only zoom in so far on the iPhone screen, but once seen in iPhoto with a large screen the results can be grotesque and worse than the zombie white eye.

For this reason, I avoid using flash whenever possible. Thankfully the 4S has a pretty decent low-light sensor, but if Apple's serious about taking on the entry-level P&S camera market they need to replace the LED with a xenon flash (which don't work when shooting video), and accept the hit on the battery; or come out with something even better.

I have the same issue-why can't they put in a white eye correction like they did for red eye?

It's very disappointing.

It's just awful. Makes the flash completely useless for people shots. Can I please have terrible red-eye back? iPhoto totally fixes that so easily. This white eye will not be fixed the same way because the color is blown out of people's eyes. I can't believe I never saw this mentioned in reviews. I think the problem is the way the flash fires, which should be fixable in software (I imagine). It's as though they've come up with a method of avoiding red-eye only to replace it with something that ruins every photo instead. So frustrating.

Just read comments in another thread and it looks like the recommended fix is use the photo tools in the iPhone. Of course, if it works there, how about an update to iPhoto that includes "white eye" fix along with "red eye?" Doing it first on the camera sounds like a lame approach, though I will give it a try.

They didn't come up with a method for avoiding red-eye per se--it's because the iPhone 4/4S uses an LED flash instead of a xenon flash used in some other camera phones, which takes more battery and space, and can't be used when taking video.

White LEDs don't have the natural spectrum that traditional flash bulbs have, so instead of red that's reflected back in the eyes it's a pure white.

Correcting that in the iPhone's photo software works only about 75% of the time, the remaining 25% have problems I mentioned earlier.

This should have been mentioned in the reviews. All I heard was this was going to replace the old point and shoot cameras-not with this problem it won't.

I cannot use the camera to take pictures with a flash so it is many times useless indoors.

Agreed--almost all the camera reviews tested static scenes, very few with people and even those few were usually outside without flash.

The 4S camera has replaced my (4-year old) P&S Canon camera because its low-light sensor is pretty darn good for a camera phone, and I have it on my all the time. I just make sure to take several shots so at least one should be without motion blur. Some blur is obvious, others you can't tell until you import and see them on a bigger screen.

Oh, and only use the virtual button for low-light shots; pressing the physical button causes just enough motion that blurring happens in low light, when the shutter is held open just a bit longer. Especially if the button's under a case.

I haven't had a problem with blurring-it's the glowing white eyes that look downright spooky.

I meant when taking shots without flash. Flash means the shutter doesn't have to be held open as long, but leads to white eye. No flash = no white eyes, but even with the 4S' improved low-light image sensor you have to hold the iPhone still for a fraction of a second longer. You'd think this would be easy, but no one I've handed my phone to in order to take a picture with me in it has managed to get this right the first couple times.

Obviously the subjects of the flash-less picture must stay pretty still too--another reason I take several shots in rapid succession, they never know when exactly these are since there's no flash to tell them when the shots are, but they'll hold fairly still until I indicate I'm done.

I can still take flash-free shots in as dark a place as a bar. A nightclub though, I need the flash... and the built-in software for attempting to fixing the white eyes.

In relation to Russlunn's post regarding Retinoblastoma, he is very wise to consult his doctor, my wife and I had been viewing photos taken on her iPhone 4 of our 14 month old son and indeed his eyes were white instead of the usual "red eye" taken with a normal flash. Symtoms of Retinoblastoma are a white glow in the eye, often seen in photographs taken with a flash, instaed of the typical "red eye" from the flash the pupil may appear white or distorted. From this post I discovered the iPhone 4 flash is LED,I normally bounce the flash on my other camera so this was the first time I had even seen red or white eye in photos of my son. I took a series of photos with a normal point and shoot digital camera and was relieved to see red-eye (not white glow) in both his eyes, which indicates normal healthy eyes. It is best to have the room dim, stand around 4 feet from the subject, turn the red eye reduction funtion on the inbuilt flash to off ( or force the flash to on) and zoom so the whole face is in the view finder. My wife and I had a restless night's sleep until our son woke so we could examine his eyes!

I just got an new iphone 4S and took a bunch of group photos. They all had white eye and were worthless. My old Samsung used to take great pictures but I upgraded because I thought the iphone camera was supposed to be even better. Very frustrating!
