in this video we're gonna learn how to
retouch and clean up the sclera or the
white of the eyes in Photoshop so the
white of the eyes can be divided into
two things specifically the things we
want to remove the color which is
usually red in case you're a human and
then the Wayans
so we'll go the same procedure first
we'll look after the color and then if
required the wings so they'll try to be
as non-destructive as possible so
without any further ado let's get
started
[Music]
so here we unfortunately before he
became a very very big thank you to Jim
Smith from James for photography for
submitting this photo and guess what I
want you to meet someone meet Amanda she
is a lawyer which explains why she has a
lot of reds in our eyes now which by the
way is a good sign as a lawyer she reads
up a lot but unfortunately it might not
be a good sign when it comes to portrait
photography so let's give Amanda what
she deserves
and nice eh alright so the first thing
that you need to do always make a copy
of the background layer controller
command J all right now let's take care
of the color of the eyes to take care of
the color the best tool to take care of
color in Photoshop is what selective
color adjustment layer so alright so
let's add selective color adjustment
lexicon this gray white icon and circle
and select selective color the last one
last adjustment layer now now how does
this work
so let me just quickly just show you how
it works actually first and then we'll
move on to editing the eyes so let's add
a new layer just showing you don't have
to do it just showing and if I just put
it close up and if I just take a brush
and maybe let's draw different patches
of color here yellow
all right now I know this looks like
somebody just slashed maybe a kid but
you get the idea
so just double-click on this the
property is of selective color now these
are nothing but targets so if I choose
Red's nothing happens it just locks into
the Reds in the image okay the Reds we
have yellows we have greens these are
just targets for locking in okay so if I
choose Rebs and if I edit this sliders
then the changes will occur in which
area in the areas with red color okay so
if I make sure absolute is checked
instead of relative absolute is checked
and if you increase the sounds now see
on is the opposite of red if you
increase the sounds it takes away the
words watch it becomes great if you
decrease the chance it increases the
Reds of the ribs because since it's
already red makes no sense now you can
increase sorry for the mobile message
you can increase the magenta or decrease
imagine to all the Reds so you can do
the same with the yellow you can do the
same with the black and now you pretty
much have the idea of what it actually
is now to reset any adjustment layer you
get this little icon right here click on
it it resets it now let's go ahead and
choose save yellows and it will change
the yellows you want to increase more
yellows and yellows you can decrease
there you go it becomes great right so
you pretty much basically have the idea
of how actually it works now if you use
the same thing to remove jump the colors
just the colors that we don't want in
the white of the eyes which is accept
anything other than white so we can
usually use this right so let's go ahead
and try it so let's go ahead and throw
this childish drawing away so let's
close it and let's just throw it away
alright now let's turn on this layer and
this layer okay so now let's zoom into
the eyes and let's open up the
properties of selective color so to open
up the properties of any adjustment
layer just click on that icon which is
unique to that adjustment layer let's
bring it to the side and we will have a
better look at it we have a big brush
alright so let's make it a little bigger
so we want to get rid of this color now
its might take a little time and
practice to get used to this adjustment
layer but guess what the way I used to
use it
I just started this adjustment layers
really cruising always works let me show
you that way so we need to take care of
the Reds right it's not exactly red it
takes time to figure out what color it
exactly is let's go to the Reds and
let's do one thing take it all the way
to the right left
does it help does it hurt it hurts take
it all the way to the right
does it help does it hurt it helps right
it takes away all the Reds right so now
we know we have to take it to the right
so let's take it a little bit to the
right
wow this is great now magenta take it
all of it to the red left
does it help does it hurt right does it
help does it hurt so left helps so a
little bit to the left dumb yellow
helper hurts helper hurts so this site
helps a little bit I guess all right all
right now black help helps or hurts
helps or hurts so black to the left a
little bit till all the wings on the
Reds goes away all right
I love this increase it to the right
just a little bit and you're pretty much
done let's move on to the other colors
which are close they're two Reds okay so
yellow let's try yellows sounds all the
way to the right
helper hurts helper hurts to the right
helps magenta helps or hurts helps or
hurts a little bit to the left
yellow helps or hurts hurts to the left
black to the left so that way you do it
right in the beginning that's the only
way to do it later you begin to
understand how it exactly works by
experience and practice all right so now
let's move on green I don't have greens
anyway unless you're a human again so
strike maybe so let's move on to maybe
magenta
yep so to the right to the left it
doesn't make any changes right so
doesn't have any changes let's try the
last one is it the blues so doesn't make
any change okay all right so once you're
satisfied closest now as you can see it
has affected everything apart from eyes
and we didn't want that to happen right
it has affected her face and maybe made
her like a zombie but we don't begin
want that yet so we will hide that
behind the mask so make sure you select
the mask of the selected color and
control a command I it inverts the mask
here's the thing you cannot create an
inverse mask with an adjustment layer
straight away when you created because
it already comes free with a mask so
take the brush and make sure the
foreground color is white and decrease
the flow to somewhere around maybe 30 40
20 I usually go with 20 it gives me an
extra space to be more smooth and more
able to paint again and again and have
exactly what I want so let's take the
brush and make it a little smaller and
start painting over the red areas with
white okay so the start painting have a
look it looks so nice now make the brush
a little softer all right and just start
painting over this area have a work
isn't this amazing
don't go all the way to the edge because
we don't want to take reds away from
here because that will take the natural
allottee if that's a word away from the
eyes all right let's look at the before
and after so this the before this is the
answer so much of it has gone have a
look before after now this is Amanda
just after reading a lot of books and
this is Amanda just after maybe waking
up alright so here all right all right
have a look before after it looks so
great
so you went a little overboard here you
can paint in black if you spilled it
okay press X press X to toggle between
white and black
okay the foreground and the background
color now we are pretty much satisfied
you can paint even more if you want you
since are the flow since the flow is a
little low
alright now the white of the eyes look
nice natural and good but here's the
thing we still have the lanes so if you
want to retain the natural nature of the
white of the eyes you can stop here it
looks good have a look
before after it looks natural but if you
want to take care of the veins if your
image has a lot of rain then proceed so
all you have to do to remove veins is to
select layer 1 which is the copy of the
background layer
alright so let's zoom in and just select
the clone stamp tool okay select the
clone stamp tool make sure the blend
mode is lightened I know what you're
thinking but this is not going to be
that kind of cloning this is different
little advanced so make sure the flow is
around 20 blend mode is lightened clone
stamp tool selected and let's zoom in
and see the magic so let's take a sample
from this area and just simply paint
over an tweens it's gone now the magic
of light and blend mode I use the same
in shaving in Photoshop if you have not
checked out the video check it out right
here is that it's only lightens certain
areas now what this means is it will
only paint over that area if that area
is darker than the sample area make
sense know so for example if I take a
sample from this dark area and try to
paint here to not pain why because this
area is already light so that helps us
and just painting over those wanes right
so let's zoom in and just paint over
these wings so take a sample from here
and since the flow is very young the
brush is soft it's going to look very
very natural right let's take a sample
for me and let's paint around here have
a look we went a little overboard
alright now this is great now let's take
care of the big ones don't remove all
the wings it's going to look unnatural
okay so don't remove all the winds and
now here's another tip if you have the
choice of sampling from a darker area
and a brighter area always sample from a
darker area that way you don't extra
light in a particular area so if you had
the choice of sampling from here and
here you should sample from here because
if you had sample from here and if you
paint it accidentally you lighten this
area which you didn't suppose to do
alright you were not supposed to do take
a sample from the dark area it will only
remove the VINs it will not accidentally
light in an area all right so let's
remove the wayans taking the sample
slowly and just remove the wings there
we go now it's looking really good let's
look at the before and after so this is
the before this is the after we have
removed that big range now if big Wayne
Lil Wayne anyway so if you if you have
to remove all these things you can but I
suggest that you don't because what that
will do is it will make your eyes
unnatural so let's have a look of the
before and after so this is the before
this is the after now amanda has got
some perfect eyes so that's pretty much
it for this video just a quick recap
first take care of the color then take
care of the wings now only take care of
the reins if required because when you
do take care of the wings
you play with the details you play with
the pixels right you exchange pixels so
only take care of colors if possible and
if you want to remove the veins
