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!

1. Open your photo/graphics in Photoshop™ (the version doesn't matter since almost all the versions after v8 react the same…here I open a one of my photos just for the tutorial, but I recommend using nicer photos with proper models :P and of course more vivid colors!)
   
   
2. Press Q [Yep…that simple…that action actually puts u in Quick Mask Mode]
3. 
   


4. Press the Brush tool and mark the region you want to stand out in your photo.(I recommend a Soft Round Brush or an Airbrush so that the effects will blend in automatically!No matter what colour you have chosen, the marked area will be in red)
5. 
   


6. Press Q again
7. Go to Filter Blur Motion Blur …then set the parameters you want (I've set the Distance to 46 pixels for greater effect.
8. 
   

How this Actually Works

Photoshop™ works with layers (like the layers of an onion) but also works this way. When you press Q you activate the “Quick Mask Mode” (and then deactivate it by pressing Q for the second time).The masking mode simply allows you to take a part of the photo out, and when a filter is applied to the photo, the region masked will stay unaffected! If you want to experiment a little you can try selecting different filters to apply (although the outcome can be quite impressive, the main idea is the same simple idea mentioned here!)
