Enhancing eyes in photoshop

Photoshop Techniques

Just follow these easy steps!

If you think about it, the eyes of your subject in a glamour, wedding or portrait are usually the most important element in your photo. Here is how you can fix that.

Step one, you can use your dodge tool to lighten the whites of the eyes. You have tp watch this though, you can easily over do it, and the eyes will look fake. To make sure you don't do that, zoom in to the eyes and use your soft brush, set it to maybe 12% and make some move over the whites only.

Step two, Your subejct may have brown eyes, if ou have ever noticed that people with brown eyes, you have a lot of trouble telling the iris of the eye from the pupil of the eye. So to fix this, zoom into your eye, click on a soft brush, set it at 12 or 15% and then use your dodge tool to run it over the brown part of the eye only. This then gives you a bit of a difference between the iris and pupil of the eye.

Step three, If you really want to make the eyes stand out, use a small (2-5px) brush and use the burn tool to the darker the very other edge of the iris of the eye.
