Enhancing the Eyes
 |
One of the easiest ways to enhance any portrait is to make sure that the eyes of your subject
are clear and bright. You can do this in your FotoFinish STUDIO (or SUITE) digital darkroom by
enhancing the white of the eyes.
To start, zoom in on the picture in question. Select the whites of the eyes using the
 Polygon Selection Tool
or the  Magic Wand (feel free to experiment to see which one works
better for you).
Once you have one portion selection, hold down the Shift key to create additional selections.
To get a uniform adjustment, you should have all the parts selected before doing anything else.
To preserve the original image, copy and paste your selection into a new layer (Image->Layers->Add Layer).
Now, choose Adjust Colors from the Image menu and click on More.
Reduce the slight redness by sliding the top
color adjustment slider away from the Red.
Next, choose Adjust Exposure from the Image menu and click on More.
Slide the brightness slider to the right to brighten the eyes. If you're afraid of overdoing it try clicking on
Auto-Exposure. You can always re-adjust the values chosen using the sliders under Brightness and Contrast.
You can help your adjustments blend in by changing the layer's
opacity from the layer's tab menu.
