Photo Friday – An Eye For An Eye

By KRae Merk | May 14, 2010

This is an image I made while I was board and had a new Photoshop User magazine at hand.

What I did;

  1. Import it into Photoshop
  2. Cropped the photo pretty much in half
  3. Used the lasso tool and encircled her eye with a 10px feather and enlarged the eye, and tilted it forward
  4. Using the lasso tool again, I selected the eyeball and copied it onto another layer and turned it off
  5. Then I pressed the Ctrl-L keys and brought up the levels dialog and darken the picture quite a bit
  6. Then pressed Ctrl-Shift-U to desaturate the photo and Ctrl – U and brought the Hue box up and clicked on the colorized the photo and enter 206 for hue, 58 for saturation, and 13 for lightness
  7. Then I used the burn tool, entered 30% for exposure and used a large soft edge brush and burned around her eye, eyebrow, and muzzle. Then I used the dodge tool and entered 30% for exposure and lightened around her nose, lips, the white markings on her muzzle, the white mark on her forehead, her tan eyebrow, and a little on her forehead.
  8. I lassoed her eyeball again and deleted it, then turned on the eyeball layer I earlier turned off and brought up the hue box again and colorized her eyeball and changed the sliders around till I got the desired the color. (not blue because the whole picture is blue)
  9. Then, pressing Ctrl-T I enlarged the eye pupil till it covered the entire eye socket and using the Burn tool again, I burned around the edges to make the eye look more natural.
  10. Then I created a new layer and widened it on the opposite side she is looking and made the layer black
  11. Then, I took the eraser tool and erased around the side on the new layer giving it a feathered look
  12. Then, I added text and gave the text a outer glow tinted blue

Voila! My wicked looking Candy.
