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.
