Eye Color Change with Photoshop: Quick and Easy Sweet Effects

A very simple way to change our eye color using Adobe Photoshop.

Welcome to my second Tutorial. I promised to give you more on gradients for the Blur All but You Effect and I will next time, since this tutorial is quite important for you to understand!

For Now I've got a nice baby photo on the internet, and although it has great sparkling blue eyes I've decided to change their color to green, easily made, the Quick & Easy Sweet Effects way.

So … let's get started!

  1. Open your preferable photo for editing (in this case I've chosen the baby photo because it has big eyes which is easier to edit, and let's face it…because it's so cute)

  2. Press Q (to enter the quick mask mode)
  3. Select a nice brush size (preferably the Round Tip type) and mark the eyes. Then press Q again to exit the Quick Mask Mode.

  4. Now we have masked the eyes. The trick here is to simply go to SelectInversesince we actually want to mask everything but the eyes.
  5. Go to your layers panel and on the bottom you'll find a small button called “Create new Fill or Adjustment Layer”. Click on it and then select “Hue/Saturation”.
  6. By using the sliders simply adjust to the color of your preference

How this actually works:

By selecting only the eyes with the magic wand tool and simply painting over them, the result is quite unreal and not professional work at all. Nevertheless, this is a great method of changing color on photographs and of course not only the eyes but practically anything!

Stay tuned for more of my Quick and Easy Sweet Effects. My next Tutorial will be Instant Woman Model Lifting effects of this effect with the use of exposure, and take some time to visit my other tutorials here.

@ColdSanta
it simply marks the area of the eyes!While masking "removes" from the selection!

Great Tut! I am a Photoshop beginner. This was very easy for me to understand. Thank you! I look forward to seeing more tuts! If you are looking for a basic tutorial to share, how about a quick guide for cutting objects out of different photos and putting them in to one project. I cannot figure that out yet, but then again, I just got the program for Christmas. If it is too elementary for the others then do not bother...just offering a suggestion.
