Help saving red-eye edits

We had some prom pictures taken with an iPhone 4 that showed up in iPhoto with flashlight eyes. I managed to repiair the flashligth eyes with the Red-Eye tool and clicked the "Done" button - that is part of the new iPhoto with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. That is the good news. The bad news and purpose of this posting is I used the button on the lower right to share the file via email and the picture iPhoto placed in Mai was the unedited version. Either the "Done" button is not saving the change in 10.8.2 or I am dooing something wrong

How do you save red-eye edits so the file can be shared?

Ps: My workaround for this suspected iPhoto defect is to disply the edited file in Red-Eye editor and user copy/paste to get it to Mail

iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad2-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Those are the same type of eyes you get with animals and can't be fixed with red eye. I use a 3rd party editor to fill in the white with black or other dark color.

There is an easy fix. The problem was solved in this forum by ingling in 2006. All you have to do is to export the photo to your desktop as a jpeg scaled down. Ingling scaled down to 2000 pixels wide, I simple exported as Large size instead of acutal. Import the scaled down version back into iPhoto and correct the red eyes on that. Click done, and it saves the changes--- even if it did not save them before. Definitely a bug & not cool that Apple has not fixed it since 2006. Follow this link and scroll down to ingling's answer
