How to make these eyes.
Back again. I won't stop until I know it all. Or some.  I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get this effect on the eyes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/federico_e … 031483511/ I figure liquify to widen them and highlight burn to make them shine, but that doesn't explain the color or three-dimensional effect. Any ideas? And I've already asked the photographer, btw. Haven't heard back yet. May 29 09 01:33 am Link I'd say that was just a photo that had contrast hiked massively and saturation lowered. Brightness would be adjusted to ensure that white was white. Possibly some local saturation increase and local lightening in the eyes - difficult to tell without seeing the models eyes in the flesh. I'm not sure what you mean about "3 dimensional effect". Do you mean low depth of field? May 29 09 01:38 am Link I think it's just the lighting.. It's quite dark.. looks like natural light by a window..giving the "patterny" look in the eye more the darkness around the eyes looks like burn and the glow in the eyes just looks like a contrast and high pass or usm for sharpness May 29 09 01:41 am Link Hike up the contrast and slap a blue/green channel b/w filter on to emphasize detail and lower opacity to make it look a little dirty. Easy. May 29 09 01:42 am Link You guys are freaks. All of your advice worked, btw. May 29 09 01:50 am Link USM of the iris at ~2-10px radius, ~20-80% opacity, 0 threshold will do much the same, and I'll wager was the actual technique used here (tends to darken the edges). May 29 09 03:02 am Link It looks like it was just "dodged" up. Take the dodge brush, and draw a ring around the eyes. May 29 09 10:31 am Link Contrast/Sharpen/Dodge and Burn.
