Photoshop Tutorial: Eye Color

January 2nd, 2008

I have already shown you a useful way to brighten/whiten eyes, but on many images that is only half the story. Many images benefit from an adjustment of the eye color itself. This can be an enhancement of the natural eye color, or a completely new color… the technique is the same. As always, my techniques are aimed at creating realistic results, but this technique in particular can be used to create very dramatic results if that is what is desired.

On the left is the corrected image, the right is the “before.” As I said, if the result is too subtle, it can be easily enhanced… just use a higher opacity on the adjustment layer. Hope you found it useful!

    The results in your sample image are not too subtle–it’s just about right. But I guess it’s all about the effect you are trying to achieve.
