1. A red eye processing method, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a facial image from within an entire image;
discriminating whether the detected facial image is of a specific person who is registered in a database; and
detecting red eyes from within the facial image employing red eye detecting parameters which are correlated to the specific person and registered in the database, if it is discriminated that the detected facial image is that of the specific person.

Abstract
During red eye processing, whether a facial image detected from within an entire image is that of a specific person registered in a database is judged. In the case that it is judged that the facial image is of the specific person registered in the database, red eye detection is performed within the facial image, employing red eye detecting parameters, which are also registered in the database.
