When a filter is grayed out as an option it means that your file isn't
in the right format. Check to see if you have an alpha channel or not
(Image>Alpha>Add Alpha if Add Alpha is gray, you have it).
Try it with alpha (add alpha) and with out (Layers>Flatten Image).
Other filters need only one layer or will only work on the bottom
layer. As you get to know the filters, you get to know what they want.

The last time I took out red eye, I zoomed in to 400% and used the color
picker and did it pixil by pixil. It was fine, but not great. My
people looked alittle cross eyed, so be careful with the light spot.
