Change eye color instantly

November 11th, 2007 in Photoshop by Allwin Samuel Jeba

We will learn to change the colour of eyes to the colour you wanted to. We will use this pix of Indian actress Aishwaraya Rai who is well known for her beautiful eyes.


Step 1:

Open the photo that you want to edit in photoshop.

We first need to select the eyes. For that we need to use the Eleptical Marquee Tool
I prefer zooming and then making the section. You can zoom by selecting the Zoom Tool (Z) .

Step 2:

Now let’s add colour to the eyes. Well you must be thinking of using the paint bucket by now. But we will not use that because it will flood fill the selection but we will just change it by using the hue/saturation feature.

Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation

select the setting as shown below

here I have made the eyes look blue.
here is what i got

Step 3:

Complete the other eye too
here is what i got

Hello Emily,

You are using too much saturation. Also try to increase the lightness a bit more.

That should do it for you
