In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to change any person's eyes color.

 

Step 1: Take an image and drastically alter the person's attitude simply by working with the eyes.

Step 2: Start with a snapshot and either crop out all but the eyes or just zoom in to that portion of the face.

Now, duplicate the Background layer.

Step 3: Now basic re-coloring again, just as a warm up. Let's brighten the whites first. Select the Dodge tool and, with a soft brush and the Range set to Highlights, lighten the white areas of the eyes.

Step 4: Double-click the foreground color and change it to blue, green or whatever tone you like, but here's my choice.

Step 5: Select the Paintbrush. With a round feathered brush and the Mode set to Color, paint out the former hue and replace it with the blue.

Step 10: To darken things up even more, duplicate this layer and set the Blending Mode to Multiply.
