Retouching Eyes in Photoshop

Thanks Chris. I love your attention to detail. Too many tutorials have everything look like a mannequin by the end. You take the time and infuse the flexibility to dial things back and make features as realistic as possible.

Get a new mike! Or learn how to use the one you’ve got. Popping is one of the most irritating mistakes you can make while using a microphone and the easiest to correct.

Superb!

Loved all of the details – very informative – layers and masks rule! But I guess you still have to match the other eye with this one……..

did someone complain about the mic usage? Give me a break, this tutorial was fantastic. That idiot was looking for something to point out to look smart. Nice job, Chris … I have been trying to figure out a good catch-light solution for a while. When I pull old negatives shot by past photographers, I am often left with two GIANT catch lights (left by poor umbrella lighting) in each eye. I look forward to using this technique in the near future.

wonderful techniques; enjoy your teaching and excellent skills; I am learning a lot from you. Keep up the good work and teach us more
Thanks Chris

well done thanks

LOVE it … great job … thanks for sharing, I’m looking forward to using this a lot!

This is amazing

I’ve seen a lot of tutorials and tricks to enhance the eye and this is one of the best and most practical methods I’ve come across. It can be used either dramatically or more subtly.

Your versatility speaks a great deal of your craftsmanship.

thanks chris for this wonderful video i’ve got the problem actually, after selecting eye through quick mask ,instead of changing eye color whole picture’s color changing, can you give me an advice on that please

Thank you for all the tips! I learned so many new things from this tutorial. Love the color dodge and burn curves layers idea!

Very nice. Thx and greetings from germany.

Thank you very much for this technique. Only few people share their skills. So nice of you. Thank you once again.

Very well done Chris! I have been through numerous tutorials on eyes, but none quite as comprehensive as yours, nor with as much attention to detail as yours.
I only have a couple of questions:
Once you have removed the catch light, do you bring back your own for believability?
I also can not remember the step for toggling back and forth from the “Zoomed” view and the “Full” view in CS2, but that would be very helpful. Thanks Again!

Thank your for the ‘eyes’!

amazing job! i learned so much

When i am changing the colour balance of the eye, and use the selection of the iris and use the brush and the Q button to make the selection, when i make the colour change its changing to whole photo colours not the selection why is this?

thank you …great job…go head

excellent, thank you very much,best tutorial on the subjet so far. I have learn a lot.

Great tutorial so many helpful, Please teach us more.

The tutorial is great, I use the GIMP though, but it also works for it as well.

Thanks for sharing

por favor los que no sabemos ingles, necesitamos tutoriales en español

Thanks Chris! I learned SO much from this!!! I had been struggling and getting frustrated until I viewed this tutorial. I had a few confused moments, but no real problems following your instructions. I’m quite pleased with the final result. Thanks again! You rock!

as the name of the program?

Wow, that’s one of the best PS tutorials I’ve seen. Thank you very much!

Lawrence Standifer Stevens maybe you should learn to pick up a dic-tion-ary and look up the would mike or did you mean MIC as in mic-ro-phone. I dislike people who specifically look for ways to just be negative. That’s just plain senseless. The tutorial in my opinion (as everyone is entitle to) was excellent.

Yes one of the best tutorials EVER! And, I can’t believe someone could say something so nasty about the microphone. I used your technique and it was definitely pro! Thank You! I also use the screen mode for the whites of the eyes……..open curves, choose screen mode,invert layer mask, paint with white brush over the whites of the eyes, and then adjust with the opaque slider!!!!!
