![]() This is by far the best way to make these types of changes in Photoshop. We are going to use the color channels in curves to make our color changes. Everything is set up so that only the eyes will be affected when we make changes, (don’t you love masks) We have also reset the curves to default, so that there is no changes to the image right now. (In earlier versions than CS4, choose Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur to do the same thing)Ĭlick the reset button in the curves panel (looks like a circular arrow at the bottom of the panel) Paint out the areas of the eyes that overlap the eyelids, so only the eye shape is painted.ĭouble click the mask to open the Masks in the Properties panel (Mask panel in CS4-CS6)Īdjust the feather slider to make the edge of the mask soft. ![]() It’s just an indicator so we can see where the mask in painted.) (If yours doesn’t show pure white, it doesn’t matter. In this case, it shows pure white because I have adjusted the curve all the way to the the top left. (press the keys to adjust the size of the brush)Ĭlick in the eye on the photograph to paint that part of the mask. Adjust the size, to the same size as the eyes. (and also isolate it to just the eyes).Ĭhoose a round brush. We are going to paint with white, this will allow the adjustment to show though. We only want the adjustment to appear in the eyes. The curves adjustment should be hidden now. We are only making a radical adjustment temporarily, so we can what we are doing as we are working.Ĭlick on the mask (2) Press Cmd/Ctrl+I to invert the mask. Grab the curve (1) and drag it diagonally all the way to the top left. (Double clicking the curves icon will do the trick too). Open the Properties panel if you are on CC, the Adjustments panel if on earlier versions. Click the curve icon thing to change adjustment layer settings (curves) click the rectangle to work with the masks. There are 2 parts, the adjustment (the grid with an S-looking thing) and a white rectangle. You will see that adjustment in the Layers Panel, it will say Curves 1. Let’s go…Ĭlick on the little icon in the Layers panel that opens adjustment layers (in the middle bottom of the panel, The button that looks like a half filled circle). A pop up will open when you click the button. All adjustment layers come with masks, the mask will isolate the adjustment. We will be using an adjustment layer (curves and a layer mask. The first thing we need to do is set everything up so that only the eyes will change when we adjust the colors. Open an image of your own that contains eyes. Shot with a 5DmkII and used kinoflo lights for lighting. It’s a photo that I shot of Callen in my LA studio. This is the image I’m going to start with. Step 1 Isolating the adjustment with Layer Masks Watch the video tutorial here and read the step-by-step instructions for more details Ok, enough horn tooting, lets get started. Also, I’m using Photoshop CC, but this can be accomplished on any version of Photoshop that supports adjustment layers, (Added in CS4). Here at the CAFE, we don’t just care about killer results, we also care about best practices. The method I’m going to teach you won’t just look good, it’s also efficient and completely non-destructive. I’m going to do some basic color changes at first, then I’m going to show you how to also change the tones and even make vampire eyes if you want to go crazy. I’m going to start simple and add complexity (and realism – you know I LOVE realism!). You can use this technique on people, or even animals. In this tut, I’m going to show you the best way, to change the color of someones eyes. I’m very excited to bring you my latest Photoshop tutorial. © Create Don’t Steal – Do not reproduce or rip this tutorial. © Photography and tutorial by Colin Smith
