Changing the Eye
Color
We have managed to remove the blemishes on the young man’s
face. Now we will modify the color of his eyes to add a lively touch to this
image.
1.
Select the “Magnetic Lasso Tool” within the
Lasso Tool group.
2.
On the tool-options bar, change the frequency to
100.
The frequency refers to how many anchors
the Magnetic Lasso tool will make as you drag it around the perimeter of your
selection. This tool works by seeking areas of high contrast to locate
perceived edges.
3.
Zoom in close to both his eyes.
4.
Use the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the area
around the iris of the eye.
If you make a mistake, use “delete” to
remove the last point, or “Esc” to start over.
5.
Press “Alt” to remove the circular pupil from
the selection.
6.
Hold down “Shift” and create a selection around
the other eye.
7.
Press “Alt” to remove the pupil area.
8. Navigate to “Image” within the menu bar.
9.
Go to “Adjustments.”
10.
Select “Color Balance.”
A dialog box should appear.
You can adjust these color sliders to change the color of the selected area.
11.
Create a new color for his eyes.
Try to keep the changes natural.
12.
Click “OK.”
Before we deselect the selected area, we
are going to apply one last change to his eyes. We are going to add more depth
to the young man’s eyes by using the “Dodge Tool.”
13.
In the Tools bar, select the “Dodge Tool.”
The Dodge Tool is used to lighten areas of
the image. It works much light the “Brightness” feature that you may have
encountered in another image editing program, but instead of applying changes
to the entire image, it works only on the areas you paint with your brush.
14.
Navigate to the tool-options bar.
15.
15. Change the Range to “Highlights.”
16.
16. Change the Exposure to 50%.
17.
17. Click a few times within the iris of his
eyes.
18. Zoom out to get a clear view of his face.
19.
Use “Ctrl+D” to deselect the selected area.
