Tutorial: Color isolation (monochrome) and eye color adjustment

[flamingo_killer]

Hey everyone!

A few people were interested in seeing this tutorial, so I decided to put it together.

This tutorial was created for Adobe Photoshop 7.0, though I think it can be used across versions of PS and is translatable to other programs. ETA: If you are a PSP user, cho_malfoy explained some changes you should make here. It's fairly easy, and I avoided

Here's the version I did using the same picture. Since I did it in PSP 8, I thought I'd share some of the things I did differently if anyone wants to try it in that program. The steps I don't mention are the same as above

Thank you for clarification for PSP users! That's incredibly helpful...I'll link you up in the rest of the post so other PSP users can see the alterations!

Glad to help! This is a great tutorial, so I had fun messing with it.

For step two you can do an adjustment layer in PSP8 -- Layers>Adjustment Layers>Brightness/Contrast

In step 5, I just used a regular mask on the black layer. It seemed to work. I'm wondering what the difference is between vector masks and raster masks are in PS, though. Huh.

Step 7 -- THANK YOU! I would never have figured out what to do there! *bg* Yay!

Thanks for the help!

For step 5, the mask isn't really necessary...I mean, you could just color the color layer over in black more. But I'm...stupid maybe? Haha.

Also, I'm not quite sure about the difference between vector masks and raster masks. My version of PS calls it a vector mask, so I'm not sure.

I'm glad there was a willing PSP user to help you! I never would have known what to do :)

Ooh, thanks for the tip on step two, I couldn't find that. And I'm going to have to try the mask on five. So thank you, too. :)
