This is quite weird.
I have been mucking around with iPhoto 5 since iLife 05 arrived last week. I have found something that really frustrates me.
When I push the red eye button, then click on a red eye, it seems to work okay and looks like it has on screen, but then after I save the picture it actually hasn't. Here is an example in pictures.
Photo as taken by camera.
Now touched up with the red eye tool but not saved.
Then I push the Done button or Save it and I get this.
Anyone else seen this happen?? Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jordan

Looks like zoom approximations are a bit off. Try selecting a larger area or zoom in 100% before you do the procedure.

You can't select a larger area with the new version. In the old version you dragged over the area where the red eye was occurring in this version, you only have a tool to click on the "eye". That's been a big difference.
The weird thing is it seems to work until you save it!

Hmmm, that is weird. Is this even with 5.0.1? Make sure you give Apple feedback.

Yeah it's still there in 5.0.1.
Was planning on giving feedback to Apple but just wanted to check that is wasn't just me.
I'll try fixing the same photo on another account on the computer and see how it goes....

For all it's worth, you're not alone. The new Red Eye tool is not improved. Clicking on the offending eye doesn't really fix anything for me either, under 5.0.1

Wow, you are totally right. I thought I was just going crazy. Not only does this not save the edited eyes properly (how in the world does it half-save it?), it gives the eyes an incredibly strange, un-natural look. They don't exactly look like a red-eye image when it screws them up, their eyes look hollow or just weird....
I'm sure Apple simply won't address this, and we'll be plagued by the problem until we upgrade to iPhoto '06 for $99. I'm losing faith in them slowly but surely. There were MAJOR problems for tons of people in iPhoto 4.0.3 with OS 10.3.7, evidenced on the Apple iPhoto support pages. A fix was literally impossible for many of us, and Apple never gave an official explanation except that (after weeks of problems) "iPhoto has been updated to version 5. Please install the most recent update."
