The eyes are the windows to the soul, now you can completely change the color of these "windows" in Photoshop. Let's refer to some simple ways to adjust eye color in Photoshop, which is right below, to have unique photos.

1. Adjust eye color in Photoshop with Solid Color

You can use the Solid Color tool to adjust eye color in Photoshop. Currently, Solid Color is available on both old and new versions of Photoshop, so don't worry if you haven't updated to the new version of Photoshop. To adjust eye color with Solid Color, we proceed with the following steps:

Step 1: Open the photo that needs to be adjusted for eye color in Photoshop. You can open the photo by selecting File on the toolbar, selecting Open, and selecting the photo that needs to be adjusted for eye color, or you can use the shortcut key Ctrl + O.

Then click on the dot icon in the bottom right corner of the screen, then select Solid Color.

Step 2: I want to adjust the eye color in Photoshop to green. Then, in the Color Picker panel, select green and click OK. You can choose any color that suits your needs.

At this time, the entire photo will be covered with a layer of green and the model cannot be seen. Select Layer Solid Color. Then click Blending Mode and select Color so that the green blends with the model's eyes. But Solid Color still covers the entire photo. We only need it to affect the eye area.

Step 3: On Solid Color, click on Layer Mask and press Ctrl+I. In addition, you can use Properties => Invert for similar results. At this time, Solid Color does not affect the image, because the black Layer Mask has covered those effects.

Step 4: To make the eyes appear blue, let's use a Bush (B) with a size suitable for the eyes. Then select Foreground as white.

Step 5: We proceed to paint a white Brush on the black Layer Mask. The areas that the white Brush passes through will appear blue. Paint the eye area to show blue. If you accidentally paint the wrong color, press Ctrl + Z to go back. In addition, you can press the shortcut key (X) to switch to a black Brush, and paint the smudged areas to restore the original color. Reduce the Opacity of Solid Color for the best results.

So you have proceeded to adjust the eye color in Photoshop with Solid Color very simply, right?

2. Adjust eye color with Hue Saturation in Photoshop

In addition to Solid Color, we can also adjust eye color in Photoshop with Hue Saturation. Let's refer to the following basic steps.

Step 1: Open the photo that needs to adjust eye color in Photoshop. You can open the photo by selecting File => Open => Select the photo that needs to adjust eye color. Or you can use the shortcut key Ctrl + O.

Then click on the dot icon in the bottom right corner of the screen, then select Hue Saturation.

Step 2: Let's click on the hand icon, then click on the eye to sample. Photoshop will now record the color of the eyes. If the eyes have many colors, click on the pen icon (+) to expand the sampling area. Photoshop has limited the sampling area, using the slider at the bottom.

Step 3: Let's drag the Hue slider, and observe on the screen.

You will see the eye color will change to red, orange, blue, ... You just need to stop when you find the eye color that suits your needs. Then drag the Saturation slider to the right to make the eye color darker. In many cases, the eye color is close to the skin color, so you will see the impact of Hue Saturation on a similar color area.

Step 4: We click on Blending Mode and select Color.

Then select the Hue Saturation Layer, click on the Layer Mask and press Ctrl+I. The Layer Mask turns black, so you will not see the impact of Hue Saturation anymore.

Step 5: We proceed to select a white Brush with a size suitable for the eye, then paint on the black Layer Mask. The areas that the white Brush passes through will show the color you choose. Paint the model's eye area to show the color you choose.
