Easy way to make pets eyes POP! | Retouching Eyes in Photoshop with Curves Adjustment Layers
Рет қаралды 31,680
2 жыл бұрынEver wondered how to make a photo more impactful? Enhancing the eyes is the first place to start! Here is our tried and tested, and very popular, eye edit in Photoshop using a curves adjustment layer. Retouching eyes is something that everyone does differently, and although I use a slightly different method now, this was the original method for editing eyes, as seen in our online courses, taught out in one-to-ones and featured in all of my 2020 awards work.
Give it a go but don't go too heavy on the opacity in the end!

Please note, the keyboard shortcut to change brush sizes features CONTROL on a mac, not Command - my apologies!

Yes, very useful. I use two curves adjustment layers, one for lightening the light areas and one for darkening the dark areas. I also like to sharpen the eyes a bit too. What is your preferred method for that? Thanks for another great video!
@ThatPhotographySpot 2 жыл бұрын
High pass for me, for sure! I darken the eye areas with my contour, so super similar really!

I'm very glad that you filmed this video and showed specifics. It's very useful! Thanks! One question that kept popping out in my mind is: why do you prefer curves adjustment layer vs dodge and burn for editing the eyes?

Hello, I'll send an email to ask, but I'll also ask around here eheh . How long are the courses available after starting? I work offshore and often lose access to the Internet.
@ThatPhotographySpot Жыл бұрын
Hi, thank you so much for your question. It very much depends on the course, for example Photoshop for Beginners & Lightroom for Beginners have 3 months course access however the Business Bootcamp has 12 months. There is the option to request a further extension of 3 months if you are struggling to complete any of the courses. Hope this helps 😊
@pedromattossouza8219 Жыл бұрын
@@ThatPhotographySpot Thanks for the quick response and sorry for the delay in responding. I will take your courses, but I'll wait to take them when I disembark the ship before I begin. Until then, I'll immerse myself in your videos. Thank you so much for your work on youtube, hugs from Brazil.
