Optimizing the algorithm by using a less computationally expensive approximation that gives good enough results? Am I close?

I would think it would depend more on the angle of the subject's head to the camera, but you may be right. It's probably more prevalent toward the center.

I have no clue. Really, this redeye thing is a bit of a tangent; I was simply casting about for some examples.

Like I said, it's even worse for pictures of animals. I have a picture of one of our cats that looks positively demonic. I used a redeye eliminator designed by Adobe -- who you have to admit know a thing or two about image processing -- with odd results. The cat has two different colored eyes -- one blue and the other green.

And I can just look at the picture a half a second after pressing the button.

Rod thinks a Graphical Integrated Desktop Environment is superior to the commandline because he doesn't KNOW anything about the commandline. He thinks that those of...

I don't mean to denigrate your abilities to design such a system, but I fail to see how it would be easier, faster, or more sure.

Well, yes. Obtaining a good result under constraints. Such as the best control of a robot arm movement given the fitted actuators and dampers, and the given...

So how do you propose to move the electronic paintbrush around? By typing in coordinates? A pen tablet is the best, but a mouse will do.

Depends on the program. The one I remember using most recently had a button marked "Redeye". I pushed it. It worked. (Well, not so good for that cat photo...) What the computer was doing I have no idea. Probably something similar to what you described above.

Neither do I. I tend to think metaphorically -- most higher reasoning is based on it. Einstein was famous for it.

If you were in a foreign country you might be reduced to that.

Why should you expect me to use anything

Visual metaphors are communication as well. Often a highly effective means of communication.

A lot of communication, often the most important parts of a conversation, is non-verbal in nature. Facial expressions, hand-gestures, etc. The lack of such "side-channel" communication is likely the root cause of a fair percentage of the flame wars on these forums.

On the other hand, if you are a simple

I'm no artisan, simple or otherwise. On the other hand, my wife, who *is* an artist would probably be giving you the finger about now. ;)

Well, I don't think she actually thought there were people inside or anything, but she also didn't have a clue how she could see them. I believe she thought of it more as a window or something.
