> > Download the file below to your blending folder. DO NOT SAVE AS JPEG YET. > > FILE YOU WILL NEED: > > You do NOT need headphones for the videos though they might help. Everything is SHOWN how to do it. Just watch. While the program looks slightly different it really isn't and you can help one another. > > media type="youtube" key="5nterr2mQUQ" width="784" height="439" > > > In this video the first 2 minutes describe how to add a curves adjustment layer to enhance the brightness of the whites of the eyes. You can attempt this if you would like, we have not discussed curves or levels at this point, but it is not a difficult tool to use. At the 2:05 mark it refers to creating a new layer and using the Dodge tool to lighten the iris of the eye. This is where you must begin. > > > > **Sharpening tool adjustments are very very subtle, don't over use this tool. In the video, it indicates that you should place a check mark next to Protect Detail. This option is not available in CS2. > > media type="youtube" key="MBdtsdsldTA" width="784" height="439" > > > The last step is to change the woman's eye color. Create another new layer and called it eye color. Choose a color from the color picker that compliments the woman but is obviously noticeable. Change the BLENDING MODE to color and start painting over the iris. Drop the Opacity to make it more subtle. > > Save as a JPEG file and email it. > > >
 * You are going to spend a little time working with blending modes and retouching photos. I have posted two videos that will walk you through the process of adding digital makeup and using the dodge/burn/sharpening tools to enhance the woman's eyes. Dodge lightens the area, Burns darkens the area and Sharpening makes things pop.
