 Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another Adobe Photoshop CC 2021 tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to make eyes pop. As they like to say in the graphic design, we'll make it pop. Well, what does that mean? Well, we're going to have a nice, bright look. They're going to have a high contrast and they're just going to stand out from the rest of the image, something very, very popular in the Photoshop world. This is the final image. So you'll see here I've got this good looking pupper dog and his eyes are nice and bright, high contrast, looking good. Here is the original image. And if you look at it, the eyes are a little bit washed out. They don't have anywhere near as much contrast. It is a subtle change, but that's kind of what we want because we don't want like the eyes to be from like another animal or look like it came from Mars. We just want it to look like nice and bright. So I'm going to show you how to do it in about 90 seconds. Start the timer. Okay, I'm going to delete that top layer and we're going to go through it step by step. Step one, of course, load in your image like I have done here. The second step is you want to drag and drop this image on the plus icon at the bottom right of your screen. That creates a duplicate layer. Perfect. Now, this layer, it has a normal blending mode. We want to adjust that blending mode to something called soft light. The reason why we chose in soft light is this has a very high contrast ratio. It's very, very bright and it really adds contrast. If you don't believe me, here's the regular image. Here it is with high contrast. Great. So far, so good. The image, the eyes are looking great, but here's the thing. The rest of the body came with it. All the rest of the face came with it. So what we're going to do is we're going to hold down the alt if you're on a PC or the option key. If you're on a Mac, make sure you're holding it down and we're going to click on this layer mask. It is going to create a black layer. Now, just so you guys know, when I put that layer on there, it looks like nothing. It looks like it got rid of the image or the above layer, but it doesn't. What it does is it creates a black layer. So everything is blacked out, but we can paint in the parts that we want to pop, which in this case is the eyeballs. So on the bottom here, you want to paint in with white. So to get your brush, set your brush tool. I've got it set to a soft round brush. And for this one, the opacity can be 100%. It doesn't matter. The most important part is you want to make sure that the foreground color is set to white. Now that that's set to white and you're working on the top layer, just brush in around the eyes like I'm doing here. And presto, these eyes now have a nice high contrast ratio. They're nice and bright. And the rest of the body is the way it was when it started. So I'm going to turn off, you know, good looking image, but the eyes are, like I said, a little bit washed out and then high contrast make the eyes pop and everything else stays the same. That's all there is to it, guys. Thanks for watching this tutorial. I have a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
