Making eyes pop!

On January 3, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I was browsing websites and found this tutorial:
“Select the eyes with the magnetic lasso and paste them into a new layer. (To select the second eye, just press shift while starting the next selection. You can let go of shift once you have started selecting.) Make sure you have the new layer selected. Go to Filter – Other – High Pass. I stick with the default that comes up (Radius – 20 pixels). After hitting okay, the eyes will look very strange. Now go and change the layer to soft light. The eyes will look really great! (Or, you can watch the video tutorial below to see exactly how to try this method.)” click here to go to the website

Here is the photo I tried it on, I followed those steps but also sharpened the eyes a little.
