Answer
Asks -

Removing red-eye in a flash-lit photo can be very
tiresome.  The simplest way, in any good photo editor,
is to select the red areas in the eyes, and then apply
color adjustment and desaturation.  I usually use the
magic wand tool to make the selection.

With Photoshop, there is a better way (which also works
in newer versions of PhotoPaint): paint into a fresh
layer, and then use that layer to desaturate!  It is
explained quite well in this tutorial:

In PhotoPaint 12, there is a red-eye removal tool in the
touch-up flyout.  It works pretty well for simple cases.

Hope this helps...
