Use THIS for BOLD Eyes in Photoshop!

No more bland-looking eyes! I'm going to teach you how to use Gradients in Photoshop to make AMAZING eyes.
The eyes are the most important object to get dialed in in portrait and wildlife photography. We ensure we nail the focus on the eye when we are shooting, but why does our focus have to stop in the camera?
I'll show you how to get your viewer sucked right into any portrait or wildlife image using gradients in Photoshop ;)

06:14 Saving Gradients
07:00 Editing the second eye
08:10 Making it look natural

Another great and very informative tutorial! Very much appreciated! You're awesome Blake! Thank you for the free gradients as well! God bless and good luck!
Pretty clever that. I'd love to see some comparison examples of the difference between opacity and fill.
@f64Academy
4 ай бұрын
Thanks, bro! In this case because of the blend mode, it's one of the eight special blend modes that requires fill, opacity by itself just lessens the effect but doesn't change how the blend mode interacts with the lower layers. So for these blend modes fill is the first thing to go for, then when you've dialed in how you want it to interact with the layer use opacity to reduce the intensity of the effect.
Thanks I am using your gradients on every Portrait image I retouch, really adds alot to the final image!!!

Not necessarily. That is a place for sure, but you won't have access to blend modes which really help make a lot of the effect.

Thank you very much for sharing Blake. The Power of Gradient Maps and Blending Modes open us a lot of freedom to play with colors and depths. Using this wonderful technique, I am just wondering if Blend If could also fine tune the colors as being natural..I am defenitely going to play with. Amazing ideas you have all the time and from you any of us still have something to learn. Thank you again.

Yes, I will routinely throw in there to protect the pupil if it gets too dark. Also this isn't the gradient map, that will give you a different effect altogether. This is just a regular gradient. Thanks for watching and bringing other ideas to the table 😁

@@f64Academy Don't forget about the Home Improvement/Tool Time theme for your next Christmas photo shoot with your family. When you showed the image of your wife I thought about your themes for Christmas. I remember saying the Tool Time theme just might fit with your family. I love your tutorials and making PS easy for us to learn. You just about got me convinced about "blend if" instead of luminosity masks.

The Mailchimp link to Blake's Brilliant Blender Brushes on your websites is now dead. If you're able to resurrect it, please let me know. I would like to try your linear light blend mode technique. Thank you and have a nice day.
What am I missing Blake? As soon as I select the object selection tool it make a selection for the whole of the subject, then I cannot select just the eye?
@f64Academy

Turn the object finder off, it's the thing that makes everything pink that it knows it's an object for it to select. I didn't know the exact nomenclature, I'm not looking at PS this second. But it's a setting in the toolbar, make your settings mimic mine. Then you should be good.

You don't need to turn it off, just do the selection with the lasso tool on top of what photoshop identifies as the subject. Unless you select the subject it won't commit the change, so you're free to define your own selection with the lasso tool.
