Adding selective tinting effects

- [Instructor] Let's now take a look at this model's eyes. We'll zoom in and from the lasso tool, we'll click on it, hold, and select the quick selection tool. We'll reduce the size of this brush to much smaller, and select the first eye. We drag over it and it's fully selected. To select the second eye, we need to make sure that the mode of this tool is set to add the new selection rather than subtracting it, so tap the top button. We can now select the eye. Once again, we have to make sure we're not on a mask. And now, we can put the layers panel away, select the bottom of the task bar, and choose add clip to adjustment. And let's go for hue and saturation again. We don't want to colorize this time. Instead, we just want to put a little bit more color into these eyes, so let's move the hue to get a nice blue, and take the saturation down a little because that's a bit too strong. She's still got grayish eyes, but compared to before, it just gives them a bit more color. Once again, we can use the brush tool to paint out where that color is leaking out of here eyes and into her eyelids. To make her eyes stand out a bit more, let's add some eyeliner. We'll put the properties away and let's add a new layer by tapping the icon halfway down the task bar. We'll stick with a brush tool, but let's reduce the size to make it much smaller. And now, we'll very carefully paint around the eyes on both sides to put in our eyeliner. Now, that's clearly much too strong and looks quite artificial. We can begin by blurring it slightly. We'll open our filters panel. There's only a couple of them there at the moment. We'll pick Gaussian blur. And we can drag the blur amount to soften that eyeliner, and the amount for this image of around three seems to give us the effect we want. When we're happy with it, we can tap done. Here's the image before the eyeliner, and here it is afterwards. And it really does help to make those eyes stand out.
