@cyberwasp461 Thanks for sharing. I know people will read your comment and try the hue/sat adjustment layer.

Cheers.

Thanks for another great tutorial! I have also used a brightness/contrast combo followed by sharpening to produce eyes that pop out.

@MrKriskard That's great. I love hearing from others on how they get similar effects using different tools.

Cheers.
