in this video we're going to be talking

0:00:01.230,0:00:05.549
about the fine way to brighten eyes in

0:00:03.419,0:00:07.529
Photoshop not what it's for fastest

0:00:05.549,0:00:10.440
efficient realistic and non-destructive

0:00:07.529,0:00:12.000
size is the same no matter with how much

0:00:10.440,0:00:14.280
light you capture the image of your

0:00:12.000,0:00:16.170
subject the eyes will always turn out to

0:00:14.280,0:00:18.630
be great because our eyes are grayish

0:00:16.170,0:00:21.060
actually it is you who need to whiten it

0:00:18.630,0:00:23.460
in post but here's the thing whitening

0:00:21.060,0:00:26.430
eyes can be very simple what's difficult

0:00:23.460,0:00:28.019
is to find a balance you don't need to

0:00:26.430,0:00:30.000
make the eyes so bright that it looks

0:00:28.019,0:00:32.279
like an alien neither you need to make

0:00:30.000,0:00:34.079
it so dull that it doesn't look like

0:00:32.279,0:00:44.670
whitening at all so without any further

0:00:34.079,0:00:46.649
ado let's get started so here we are in

0:00:44.670,0:00:48.750
Photoshop and before we begin a very big

0:00:46.649,0:00:50.399
thank you and shout out to Andres Vargas

0:00:48.750,0:00:53.160
for submitting this image for sending it

0:00:50.399,0:00:54.719
over for retouch and without him this

0:00:53.160,0:00:56.699
tutorial wouldn't have been possible if

0:00:54.719,0:00:57.930
you want your images to be retouched do

0:00:56.699,0:01:00.420
let me know down in the comments below

0:00:57.930,0:01:02.340
or you can even messaged me on Facebook

0:01:00.420,0:01:04.710
directly if you can find me there so

0:01:02.340,0:01:05.909
let's jump a straight n so the first

0:01:04.710,0:01:08.670
thing that you need to understand before

0:01:05.909,0:01:11.100
widening the eyes are the basic concepts

0:01:08.670,0:01:12.900
of blend modes in Photoshop if you have

0:01:11.100,0:01:15.360
not wants to be us go ahead and wash it

0:01:12.900,0:01:17.820
out right here so what was the blend

0:01:15.360,0:01:21.869
mode that brighten things screen light

0:01:17.820,0:01:24.990
so we can make a copy of it and change

0:01:21.869,0:01:27.119
the blend mode to screen that brightens

0:01:24.990,0:01:29.790
up everything and we can mask out I in

0:01:27.119,0:01:31.770
this one but i would suggest instead of

0:01:29.790,0:01:33.930
copying the layer add an adjustment

0:01:31.770,0:01:35.909
layer anything will do levels will do

0:01:33.930,0:01:37.530
and change the blend mode to screen it

0:01:35.909,0:01:40.650
will do the same thing now why i

0:01:37.530,0:01:43.110
suggested this because if you copy this

0:01:40.650,0:01:44.970
image the image file size the photoshop

0:01:43.110,0:01:46.890
file size will be much bigger number one

0:01:44.970,0:01:49.710
and number two if you make any changes

0:01:46.890,0:01:51.689
to this like if you sharpen it if you

0:01:49.710,0:01:54.869
add a little bit of contrast or levels

0:01:51.689,0:01:56.700
to it if you copy the image and apply

0:01:54.869,0:01:59.219
the blending mode there you need to make

0:01:56.700,0:02:02.100
the changes in that layer two and it's

0:01:59.219,0:02:04.350
gonna be messy so instead add an

0:02:02.100,0:02:06.030
adjustment layer it acts as a virtual

0:02:04.350,0:02:07.920
copy and whatever changes you make in

0:02:06.030,0:02:10.080
this layer will be replicated in the

0:02:07.920,0:02:12.030
virtual copy that's in the adjustment

0:02:10.080,0:02:13.980
layer now it brightens up

0:02:12.030,0:02:16.470
pretty much everything so we need to

0:02:13.980,0:02:18.450
mask out the whites of the eyes but

0:02:16.470,0:02:21.030
here's the thing the levels adjustment

0:02:18.450,0:02:23.370
layer already comes with a mask we need

0:02:21.030,0:02:25.860
to invert the mask so that we don't see

0:02:23.370,0:02:28.319
the effect anywhere and then we can

0:02:25.860,0:02:31.230
paint in the eyes so to invert the mask

0:02:28.319,0:02:33.300
select the mask and press ctrl I this

0:02:31.230,0:02:35.700
removes the effect from everything

0:02:33.300,0:02:37.530
because black other areas where the

0:02:35.700,0:02:40.440
effect is not being applied whether

0:02:37.530,0:02:43.650
layer is not visible so we need to paint

0:02:40.440,0:02:45.269
in with white so take the brush make

0:02:43.650,0:02:46.530
sure why it is selected press X to

0:02:45.269,0:02:50.100
toggle between foreground and background

0:02:46.530,0:02:52.760
colors strange Prussia selected so let's

0:02:50.100,0:02:56.360
select a normal brush there you go and

0:02:52.760,0:02:58.170
paint in the whites of the eyes okay

0:02:56.360,0:03:00.690
currently it's the graves of the eyes

0:02:58.170,0:03:03.540
but finding the whites of the eyes don't

0:03:00.690,0:03:06.180
have to worry about the corners don't

0:03:03.540,0:03:08.160
have to worry about spilling and just

0:03:06.180,0:03:15.230
chopping off you don't don't worry about

0:03:08.160,0:03:18.540
anything okay there you go and this I

0:03:15.230,0:03:21.650
I'm quickly doing this and I'll show you

0:03:18.540,0:03:24.750
why you need not worry about spilling

0:03:21.650,0:03:27.480
guys here's the thing if you carefully

0:03:24.750,0:03:29.370
fill every single corner it's going to

0:03:27.480,0:03:31.350
take you a lot of time instead what you

0:03:29.370,0:03:33.780
can do you can carelessly fill

0:03:31.350,0:03:36.299
everything and later carefully remove

0:03:33.780,0:03:37.530
the areas that you don't want it's going

0:03:36.299,0:03:39.269
to be much easier because you have

0:03:37.530,0:03:41.010
straight lines here instead of corners

0:03:39.269,0:03:42.840
where you might want to decrease the

0:03:41.010,0:03:46.079
size of the plush brush and it's going

0:03:42.840,0:03:48.750
to be very very clunky so take the brush

0:03:46.079,0:03:51.299
now this time select black and paint

0:03:48.750,0:03:53.670
over the areas that you don't want there

0:03:51.299,0:03:56.510
you go because it's a straight line it's

0:03:53.670,0:03:59.870
going to be really really simple for you

0:03:56.510,0:03:59.870
there you go

0:04:04.130,0:04:10.320
now let's paint over the eyeballs also

0:04:08.670,0:04:13.290
guys i just wanted to mention that make

0:04:10.320,0:04:15.900
sure you don't apply the effect on the

0:04:13.290,0:04:17.820
corner of the eyeball on this line right

0:04:15.900,0:04:19.980
here because this line accentuates the

0:04:17.820,0:04:21.810
eyeball this line gives the eyeball a

0:04:19.980,0:04:24.660
dimension so you don't want to brighten

0:04:21.810,0:04:27.060
up that area so very carefully just

0:04:24.660,0:04:29.490
paint over that area because when that

0:04:27.060,0:04:32.340
area is doc it actually makes the

0:04:29.490,0:04:36.060
eyeball pop out so make sure it is start

0:04:32.340,0:04:38.090
there you go do the same with the right

0:04:36.060,0:04:38.090
eye

0:04:40.480,0:04:44.650
now the eyes look pretty neat and white

0:04:42.850,0:04:46.930
very nice if you zoom out just a little

0:04:44.650,0:04:50.680
they look really good but if you zoom

0:04:46.930,0:04:52.330
out more it looks alien you don't want

0:04:50.680,0:04:56.020
that right it really looks like an alien

0:04:52.330,0:05:00.070
so you need to dim it down just get the

0:04:56.020,0:05:03.730
opacity down this is good I think 40 is

0:05:00.070,0:05:06.340
around good before after now two bonus

0:05:03.730,0:05:09.180
tip to add dimension to whitening up the

0:05:06.340,0:05:12.190
eyes you can apply a blender if so

0:05:09.180,0:05:15.250
increase it to an extent into which it's

0:05:12.190,0:05:17.290
visible maybe 49 is ok so before and

0:05:15.250,0:05:19.600
after all right right click on it go to

0:05:17.290,0:05:22.570
blending options drag the slider of the

0:05:19.600,0:05:24.580
underlying there ok what are we doing

0:05:22.570,0:05:28.090
actually is that we are removing the

0:05:24.580,0:05:30.780
white from the areas that are dark thus

0:05:28.090,0:05:33.610
giving the eyes a dimension so the

0:05:30.780,0:05:35.980
underlying layer drag the slider from

0:05:33.610,0:05:38.470
the left because we want to remove the

0:05:35.980,0:05:40.510
effect from the darker areas of the

0:05:38.470,0:05:44.500
underlying layer not the current layer

0:05:40.510,0:05:46.090
ok from the left there you go as you can

0:05:44.500,0:05:48.430
see the effect is being removed from the

0:05:46.090,0:05:51.970
areas that are dark we don't want to go

0:05:48.430,0:05:54.340
that further this is fine now resin hold

0:05:51.970,0:05:56.530
alter options click on it and make the

0:05:54.340,0:06:00.100
transition a little smooth watch this

0:05:56.530,0:06:01.840
how better it looks right now there you

0:06:00.100,0:06:03.940
go let's look at the Foreign Office oh

0:06:01.840,0:06:06.220
this is the before this is the after the

0:06:03.940,0:06:07.830
transition is much smoother much more

0:06:06.220,0:06:11.950
better you can always increase p

0:06:07.830,0:06:13.420
whitening and decrease it there you go

0:06:11.950,0:06:16.270
let's look at it before and after this

0:06:13.420,0:06:18.190
is before this is the after this might

0:06:16.270,0:06:19.750
seem to your very little thing and a

0:06:18.190,0:06:22.240
very little difference but when you do a

0:06:19.750,0:06:24.580
lot of these little things they all join

0:06:22.240,0:06:26.140
in they all add in and form a very big

0:06:24.580,0:06:27.970
thing and make the images so much more

0:06:26.140,0:06:30.220
gorgeous it's the little things in life

0:06:27.970,0:06:32.470
that matter all right so we had done for

0:06:30.220,0:06:34.210
this tutorial we are done whitening but

0:06:32.470,0:06:36.100
if you just wanted to know how to

0:06:34.210,0:06:37.480
brighten the eyes you can go now thank

0:06:36.100,0:06:38.620
you so much for watching but i'm going

0:06:37.480,0:06:41.260
to do a little more retouching right

0:06:38.620,0:06:42.730
here we have some time so if you want to

0:06:41.260,0:06:45.960
make the skin a little more brighter

0:06:42.730,0:06:49.240
let's add a curves adjustment layer and

0:06:45.960,0:06:51.430
what area in curves is the skin let's

0:06:49.240,0:06:53.050
just make it a little bigger to find out

0:06:51.430,0:06:53.689
click on this and let's click on the

0:06:53.050,0:06:55.969
skin

0:06:53.689,0:06:58.009
creates a point where the skin is in the

0:06:55.969,0:07:01.399
curves diagram so let's make it as a

0:06:58.009,0:07:02.839
brighter there you go looking nice now

0:07:01.399,0:07:04.639
you want to add a little more contrast

0:07:02.839,0:07:06.439
you want to make these areas a little

0:07:04.639,0:07:08.209
darker so where are these areas these

0:07:06.439,0:07:10.479
areas are somewhere here so click on it

0:07:08.209,0:07:13.639
there you go make it a little darker

0:07:10.479,0:07:15.709
there you go so much more difference we

0:07:13.639,0:07:18.799
have made in just a few seconds before

0:07:15.709,0:07:20.689
after now if you want to make it if you

0:07:18.799,0:07:22.999
want to give it an Instagram filter like

0:07:20.689,0:07:25.309
kind of thing so for that add another

0:07:22.999,0:07:27.769
curves don't mess with that if you add

0:07:25.309,0:07:29.779
too many points for example if you had a

0:07:27.769,0:07:31.610
point here if you mess with this this is

0:07:29.779,0:07:33.319
also going to get affected so instead

0:07:31.610,0:07:36.589
don't mess with it right now create

0:07:33.319,0:07:38.989
another curves okay now if you want to

0:07:36.589,0:07:41.389
add something instagram ish let's take

that's happy place between making it

0:08:21.499,0:08:25.369
just like an alien and not making

0:08:23.629,0:08:28.369
anything at all not wiping it out
