How to change Eye color in Photoshop? [Tutorial]

A tutorial that teaches how to change the eye color in a image with 3-4 quick and simple steps using Photoshop software.

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to change eye color using Photoshop. We can see a lot of tutorials about changing the color of the eyes but here I am going to keep it simple.

As you see in the image above you see the grey colored eyes being transformed into blue.

The Original Image

  • First thing to do is to create a duplicate layer of the image. Just select the image layer and Press Ctrl+J for a duplicate layer.

  • Now I selected the above Image Layer and made a selection around the eyes. Here I use the Pen Tool.

  • Be careful while you make the selection around the eyes and make sure it resembles something like you see in the image below.

  • Now repeat the above step for the other eye in the image.

  • Make sure you are on the selection done to the eyes and go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation ( Ctrl+U) and click on it.

  • Here we see the  Hue/Saturation pallet display on our screen. Keep the Hue Value – 200, Saturation Value – 30, Lightness – 0, and keep Colorize Check Box On.
  • You can take any value as you like. It depend on which color was you have given to Eye’s.

  • All right now Deselect the Eye’s selection just Press Ctrl+D to deselect the selection and here we got our Alter-net color of the Eye’s.

I actually don’t use the pen tool, I often use the lasso. Are they the same or do they have the same use? 🙂

pen tool and lasso tool are very different, both has different functionality.
