Photoshop Tutorial - Eye Color Change

This tutorial will focus on changing the color of the eye. This is a simple technique that can be applied to other areas besides the eye as well.

Step 1

The image below is just a random image of an eye. Take your image and open it in Photoshop. This technique can be used in all versions of Photoshop.


Step 2

Create a new layer by clicking Layer -> New -> Layer Or Shift+Ctrl+N. You can give the layer a name if you like, like "New Eye Color".

Step 3

Select the Magnetic Lasso Tool and carefully trace around the edges of the eye.




Step 4

Now change the color to what ever you like. I've chosen green. Select the Paint Bucket Tool and click inside your Lasso to fill in the color.



Step 5

Double click the Eye Color Layer to display the Layer Style Properties. This can also be achieved by clicking Layer -> Layer Style -> Blending Options. Change the Blend Mode to hue, and the Opacity to 55%.



Step 6

Follow the same steps to alter the color in other areas of the photo. I did the lid as well in the example below.



Pretty simple, right?
