Auto red reducers do tend to zap lighter eye shades for darker, and they don't always work -- especially when the red eye is a huge yellow spot of reflected retina.
Under photoshop, I tend to select the eyes then reduce the red through color balance. Then do a clean up with the brush set on multiply or color using a shade similar, if eyedropped, from the actual shade from the picture. It's a lot more work, but there's a lot more manual control. Do it for more than 3-5 photos in a row, and you'll go crazy.
Have you tried iPhoto's redeye reducer? It's not bad and is somewhat tweakable manually to select the exact spot of the eye it should focus on. Sometimes though, it's off the mark.
Have to try the free Photoshop and compare it to the CS version I use now. Considering there are other open-source photoeditors around. It's a good move for Adobe to give everyone a taste of the gold-standard app for photoediting.
