Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Start by opening an existing image.
Step2
Duplicate base image to another layer and name it layer 2.
Step3
Use a white soft round brush with 5% flow to paint around the iris on layer 2.
(Note: Do not over paint as it will reduce the details)
Step4
Use soft round eraser to erase any white over the pupil.
Step5
Change the coloring by going to Image>Adjustments>Hue and Ssaturation.
(in this example, the settings were: hue: -135 saturation: 25 lightness: 0 with the colorize image checked)
Step6
Erase around the eyes using a soft round eraser.
(if you only wanted to change the eye's color, then you are done)
Step7
Duplicate layer 2 and name it layer 3. 8. Use the Hue and Saturation adjustment again to change the color on layer 3 to your second color.
(settings used here were: hue: 100 saturation: 20 lightness: 0)
Step8
Finalize image by using the the eraser (soft round) to erase the top layer to your likings.
(If you would like to add even more colors to the eyes, repeat the process from step 7)
You're done!
