anyone familar with photoshop?
is there an easy way to remove pet green eye?
Re: anyone familar with photoshop?
Yes.
Duplicate the picture by dragging it onto of the folder icon at the bottom of the layer menu.
Now you have 2 kitties (kitty 1, and kitty 2 which is ontop of kitty one).
Pick kitty 1- use the "select color tool" With the eye dropper pick the green in the kitty's eyes. Then continue to select grow until its selected all the green you want in his eyes.
Now, that you have the iris selected you can go into the color balance and change it in there. I'd do it in there so it keeps the details in the eyes. Mess around with the color until its the color you want. Then hit okay/accept.
The duplicate kitty was just so you have an extra incase you mess something up and need to start over. if you are happy with the eyes, you are done.
Another step you can do it make it look even better is:
Now click on kitty 2 (the one you didn't change the eyes and still looks like the original cat). Pick the eraser tool, and make sure the eraser tool is set on one of the airbrush settings. Now "erase" out the green eye. It will allow you to blend between the 2 pictures and hopefully it will soften the eyes around the area you touched up so that you can't notice that you did anything!
Good luck.
If something doesn't make sense, just ask.

perfect!!! That's exactly what I was looking for.
cool, glad i could help. I did that off the top of my head without looking at the program, so I was hoping i didn't confuse you since i didn't give you exact names of tools and pull down menus.
Another trick I also use is that I'll use a pic where the pet's eyes are good and merge it with the bad one.
For instance... bring in a picture where the eyes are around the same size but the exposure/color is right... then bringin the bad picture. Put them in the same file just have one as layer 1 and the other as layer 2.
Then I use the erase tool again and erase out the bad eyes and put the good ones in. This doesn't always work because they are looking the wrong way or the lighting is different. This usually only works if you took multiple pics of the same pose.
That's a really fast explaination. If you need it more detailed let me know.
Great idea! I was thinking that the cloning stamp might work too but figured there was a more practical way. All of your suggestions totally make sense.
I'm in love with photoshop right now. I edit everything...lol. And I fully plan on doing some "editing" on my wedding pictures...lol. I mean, every girl could use some whiter teeth, whiter eyes and softer skin:) And you know those pictures where you look good but there is that 1 flaw that just ruins everything? Well, hell...I'm fixing those too:)
Do you have alot of pre-set actions? I just bought some great ones through lolly's playground. They are the best! I have to adjust the opacity and use the erase tool but overall they are definitely worth the money!
hi no, i've never used the pre-set actions. how do those work?
really? oh man, preset actions are the best. Basically you download the actions into your adobe photoshop. There is a specific folder for these. Then under the actions toolbar you will see what you downloaded. It will be in one contained folder. When you open them, you'll see several ones you can use. Once you open a photo, you can just click the action and hit the "play" button. The play button pretty much starts the process. It can, depending on the designed process, do everything for you:)
Depending on the specific action, you'll have to flatten the image, alter the opacity, change the hardness of the brush...but it's all rather easy peasy.
I took some classes last semester for photoshop and we were required to create our own actions. I was able to create a few for vignette's, sepia toning and what I called, "soft focus"...lmao. They were decent but when I bought some new ones, they put my pathetic actions to shame! You can generally buy actions from $55.00+. But they are great investment if you use them frequently:)
AH i see.
So its one step instead of 10. So you dont have to do the entire process over and over again if you are doing the same kind of thing. Handy.
BIP - Thanks for the tips ladies! I'm going to have to check out both of your suggestions.
?Are you using CS2 or CS3??
I'm using CS3.
