One of the most
popular sagas in the history of film is the Star Wars saga. In these
series of films, there exist a villian known as the Sith. The main
characteristics of the Sith are their evil looking eyes. In this
photoshop tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of how to
convert normal looking eyes into Sith Eyes.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Open in Photoshop a photograph of the eyes that you want to
convert into Sith Eyes.
2. Click the "Edit in Quick Mask Mode" button. Choose an appropriate
size brush size and begin draw your mask over the retinas of the
eyes. (When you are in Quick Mask Mode", the area you paint will be a
transparent red to indicate which areas you are painting the mask
over).
3. After you have finished painting in the mask for both eyes, then
click "Edit in Standard Mode" to exit the Quick Mask mode.
4. Goto Select > Inverse. Only the eyes should be selected now.
5. Goto Image > Adjustments > Color Balance.
6. When the Color Balance pop-up appears, adjust the color sliders
under Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights. So that the retinas of the
eyes become a light yellowish color.
7. Creat a new layer. Call it "Sith Color".
8. Make sure the "Sith Color" layer is active. Select the Paint Brush
tool. Choose an dark orange/red color.
9. Begin drawing an orange/red ring around the retina of both eyes.
10. With the "Sith Color" layer still active. Goto Filter > Blur >
Gaussian Blur. When the Gaussian Blur pop-up appears, set the Radius
Pixel amount so that the red ring around the retinas blur just a
little.
11. You're almost done. All you need to do now is select the Paint
Brush tool. Zoom in and paint the pupils black to finish it off.
12. Congratulations! You should now have your Sith Eyes.
