Hey, welcome to another 1-minute series. Today, I’ll show you how can you change eye color in Photoshop in 1 minute. Yes, I have written a tutorial on this topic a few years ago. The tutorial was quite big and you cannot use that tutorial to change the eye color in just 1-minute. This is why I am bringing you this tutorial.
There has been a good demand for the 1-minute series and many people are asking me to create several 1-minute series. Some of them asked me to write one on how to change eye color in Photoshop. Others are swapping the sky, change skin tone, etc. in just 1-minute. I have written some of them in my 1-minute series. I still need to write many of them. So, bookmark the page so that you come back later.
Before I begin the tutorial, let me show you the final and initial image.
Before
After
Step 1 – Select the Eyes
The very first step is to select the eyes. I am going to use Elliptical Marquee tool. I am using Elliptical Marquee tool because eyes are circular and which tool is better than Elliptical Marquee tool. But, if you’re not comfortable then you can use other tools like Quick Selection tool.
Please Shift + M again and again until Elliptical Marquee tool activates. We’re going to select both eyes at the same time. So, we need to activate “Add to Selection” tool which means that your old selection doesn’t get deselected as soon as you make a new selection.
Hold down Shift and start making a selection across one eye at a time. You can hold down Space if you want to move the selection. Select both eyes.
Step 2 – Change Eye Color in Photoshop
Now, we’re going to change the eye color.
Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation.
First, click on “Colorize”. It will colorize the image (in our case, it’ll colorize the selection).
Now, play with the sliders to get the desired color.
Hue – It will change the color Saturation – It will increase the saturation of the color i.e. more vivid or less vivid Lightness – It brightness or darkens the color
With these three sliders, you can make any color.
Step 3 – Finetune the Selection
We made some mistakes in step 1 while making the selection. The selection was not perfect. Now, we’re going to fix it.
Zoom in the image so that you can see the eye clearly.
Activate Brush tool. Click on the layer mask. Make the foreground color as black. Now, start painting the area where you don’t want the blue color. I have highlighted some of the areas in the below image.

Instead of indulging yourself in a chunk of jobs, focus on a strategy that will put you ahead in the long-term goal – which is to be a professional and of course your value in the market.
You may be a landscape photographer, a wedding photographer, portrait specialist or a new photographer but you need to know about your strengths – the area you specialize in. There are many genres, and sub-genres but picking one genre gives a lead to define yourself as a brand.

Social Media Images – There is no doubt that social media is the best marketing platform for all local and global businesses.

Website Images – When online users land on your website, it is up to you to impress them immensely and convert them into customers and clients. The first thing any user checks out on a website is its visual content.

Photoshop is the only tool that has all the required features to create amazing sliders, exceptional product photography, and even high-quality website layouts. This will increase your conversion rate and get you more sales.
Ad Banners – Paid advertisement campaign is one of the best ways to get potential customers easily.

This is a super way to outshine your competitors and drive relevant traffics who are likely to be your repeat or permanent customers.
Flyers and Brochures – Not only online marketing, Photoshop is highly essential for offline marketing as well. Flyers and brochures are popular marketing items that companies give out to the targeted audiences to let them know about their brands and products. But people come across so many such flyers and brochures every day from different companies and those items eventually end up in the trash bin without people checking them out. This is where Photoshop can help you design flyers and brochures that can intrigue people and force them to check them out instantly. There are so many awesome flyer and brochure templates available that you can customize and get your business flyer and brochure ready like a pro. You can impress your targeted audiences immensely and generate more leads effortlessly.
Infographics – The reason why email marketing fails for most of the companies is not due to the popularity of social media but lack of innovative ideas for writing such promotional emails.

Embedding stunning informative graphics in the email body makes it exigent otherwise your emails will end up in the trash bin and spam box just like others. Photoshop has so many graphics templates available that you can customize and create outstanding infographics and innovative illustrations like never before.

Bokeh is a common word used in photography that describes the blurry areas in a photo, or basically the area which are out of focus. Some people find it as a mistake but for most, they find bokeh as an attractive effect that gives more drama on the photo.

If you’re interested to do bokeh, you probably have this question in mind. The answer lies in the 5 tips below:
1 – Get close to your object
Distance is one key to achieve a nice bokeh. The closer your camera lens gets to your subject, the more the background will be blurred. So, it’s ideal to know the right distance between your camera lens and subject.
If you use a fast lens then minimize your distance to your subject to create a uniformly illuminated disk in the background. But if you don’t use a fast lens, it’s all right; just ensure to reduce the distance between your camera lens and your subject.
Doing this will increase the distance between the background and your subject. This is important because the further the background is to the camera lens, the more it’ll be out-of-focus.
2 – Choosing the proper lens
The lens is the main player of creating a beautiful bokeh as it determines bokeh’s size and shape. Though every camera has the capability to create a bokeh, only few can make it virtually appealing.
To know if your camera lens is a good lens for bokeh, check its diaphragm blade. The diaphragm lens is the one that determines bokeh’s shape. A lens with 7-straight blades creates a heptagon-shaped bokeh; while 9-rounded blades create a circular bokeh.
If you have 9 rounded blades, a prime lens is an ideal choice to use. But if you have a zoom lens, it’s advisable to zoom to its maximum focal length (200mm or more) to create an even greater blurred effect.
3 – Judge the depth-of-field
The depth of field is the one that indicates how much is in focus on your subject, front or behind. In determining what’s good for your subject, you need to remember 2 things: the wider your focal length, the deeper the DOF gets; while the longer focal length, the narrower the DOF gets.
The usage of these 2 will depend on the type of photography you’re doing. Choose a longer focal length if you’re shooting landscape or architectural exterior. While, if you want more details to be in focus, choose a shorter focal length.
4 – Relating the foreground with the background
Two types of bokeh are the background and foreground bokeh. These two acts similar, their only difference is its size. We all know that the closer the lights onto the lens, the larger it will look. Since the background details are far from the lens, its bokeh is smaller compared to foreground bokeh.
To add a dramatic appeal to the image, it’s ideal to have both bokeh in it. This is possible by positioning your subjects farther, so you can get some good quality foreground details.
5 – Select the large aperture
Lastly, the secret to creating a stunning bokeh is by using a fast lens with large aperture. Why? This is to decrease the DOF to a narrow area. The ideal lens to use must have an aperture of f1.4, f/1.8 or f/2.
These are the secrets of getting the bokeh effect. Let me know if you have anything else in your mind.
Hey, welcome to my another tutorial. Today I am back with my another tutorial from the 1-minute series. I am going to show you how to change the sky in Photoshop in 1 minute.
I will keep this tutorial short because you are going to achieve the result in just 1 minute. Everything will be crisp and short.
You’re reading this tutorial means that you already have an image of which you want the sky to be changed. That’s good. You will also need an image from where you can copy the sky. If you like free things then Unsplash is a great place. If you don’t then there are some good sites like Shutterstock, Adobe stock, etc. where you can buy the images.
Let’s start the tutorial. But I would like to show you the before and after image before we start the tutorial.
After
Before
Did you see the sky in the after image? I didn’t like the sky in the before image so I changed it with the one which has clouds.
Step 1: Copy the Sky from the Source Image
You need to copy the sky from the source image. Let’s select the sky from the source image. You can use Quick Selection Tool for that. I am not explaining how can you select with Quick Selection tool for the time being but you can learn it by clicking on the link. Here you go – Quick Selection Tool.
Press Cmd+C/Ctrl+C once you have made the selection. This will copy the are which is selected.
Step 2 – Change the Sky in Photoshop
Go to the original image and press Cmd+V/Ctrl+V to paste it to change the sky.
You need to align the image so that it replaces only the background, nothing else. I’ll show you how you can do it.
Step 3 – Select the Sky in the Source Image
Hide the layer of the new sky so that you can see the original sky. Click on the “eye” icon of the layer of the new sky. This will hide it.
Select the original sky. You can use Quick Selection tool again. Once selected, unhide the layer you just hide.
Step 4 – Add Layer Mask
Make sure that the layer with the new sky is activated. Go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. This will reveal only the selected area.
Step 5 – Tweak the Sky
I think that the new sky is brighter as compared to the original sky. So, I am going to reduce the brightness.
Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast. I am going to reduce the brightness. But I need to make sure that it will affect only the new sky, not the entire image. So, I’ll turn on “Clipping Mask” which is encircled with the blue color in the below image. This will ensure that the brightness will only affect the layer that is present just below it.
Between advancements in digital cameras and the user-friendliness of Photoshop, it has never been easier for even novice photographers to shoot stunning, professional-looking photographs. Photoshop can enhance colors, remove blemishes, and add dynamic touches to a photo. But even now, there are still some issues that even Photoshop cannot fix. When trying to edit photos in photoshop, there are a few elements that need to be in the original photograph. Here are 4 tips for taking photos that will make your life in Photoshop much easier.
1. Look for Areas of High Contrast
If you’ve ever photographed an item with a similarly-colored background, it can create a headache trying to edit the item in Photoshop. The items blend together, and Photoshop’s auto selections tools have a difficult time differentiating between the foreground and background.
Instead, try to photograph your focal point with a sharply-contrasting background. This will make it easier to edit the focal point and background individually as well as adding other small details to your photo. For example, if you want to photograph landmarks, wait for a bright blue sky to act as the backdrop.
2. Lighting Needs to be Good
The most crucial element in all of the photography is lighting and how to use it to your advantage. When there is too much light it can overwhelm the photo and result in losing definition – and no matter how good you are with Photoshop, those details cannot be replicated. A lack of light causes a similar problem as items in the picture can appear grainy.
The key is becoming familiar with your camera’s aperture and shutter speed settings. They both manipulate how much light is allowed into the camera and manually manipulating these settings can cause some cool natural effects as well. When in doubt, try taking a few photos of a subject with different aperture and shutter speed settings to give you the best chance of a dynamic photo that you can edit later.
3. Shoot in High Resolution
Many cameras (particularly phone cameras) will have settings that default to a lower resolution to save storage space. One of the best aspects of Photoshop is the ability reshape a photo by cropping. But if your photos are not shot with a high resolution, enlarging the photograph will make it appear fuzzy and lose a great deal of detail. If you are taking a picture with a phone camera, you may want to download an app that allows you more control over the settings, including what resolution you want the photos taken in.
4. Proper composition
Photoshop’s cropping tools are incredible. Whether you crop by eyeing your photo or implementing a particular ratio, you can get more creative with photographs than ever before.
But that still does not replace proper composition.
When taking a photo, the composition is crucial to creating the initial interest. And there are photographic rules of composition that can help in crafting a naturally intriguing photograph. The Rule of Third is a common guide to photography; by moving your focal point slightly off center and into one of the thirds of the photo, you generally get a much more interesting photograph.
Ultimately, a good photograph is much easier to work with Photoshop. By planning ahead, becoming familiar with your camera’s settings, and practicing some basic fundamentals of photography composition, you can make your job much easier in Photoshop later.
You use Photoshop to edit photos. Sometimes you edit landscapes, sometimes party photos, and sometimes your selfies. Whenever you edit selfies, the first thing you do is softening of the skin. Nobody likes rough skin (even on men). You spend around 5-10 mins to use the brush tool, gaussian blur, surface blur etc. to soften the skin, right? What if I tell you that I can give you a hidden feature in Photoshop that will cut down the time to only 1 minute? Yes, you can soften the skin in Photoshop within 1 minute.
Before we begin, I want to show you the before and after photo. Did you see the difference?
Before
Fig. 1
After
Fig. 2
Let’s begin the tutorial.
Step 1 – Duplicate the Layer
You and I need to use the layer mask in later steps so we need to duplicate the layer. Press Cmd+J/Ctrl+J to duplicate the layer. You can also go to Layer>Duplicate Layer to duplicate a layer. Your layer panel should look like Fig. 3.
Fig. 3
Step 2 – Soften Skin in Photoshop using Camera Raw
This is the step that will soften skin in Photoshop. Photoshop has an inbuilt feature that softens the skin but the name isn’t present with the same name. This is why you didn’t know that you could’ve saved an insane amount of time by using Camera Raw filter.
Go to Filter>Camera Raw filter or press Cmd+Shift+A/Ctrl+Shift+A.
Go to the “Details” tab which is marked with blue color in Fig. 4. Increase the Luminance to a high value. This will soften the skin. The problem is that it softens entire photo. You don’t want eyes and nose to soften, right? This is where Sharpening comes to rescue us. Increase the amount in Sharpening field and this will sharpen the edges.
Press OK
Step 3 – Use Layer Mask for Finetuning
Go to Layer>Layer Mask>Hide All. This will bring back the original photo again.
Sidebar – If you’re not familiar with the layer mask, you better check out my Layer Mask in Photoshop tutorial. The link will open in new tab.
Choose the Brush Tool and change the foreground color to White.
Fig. 5
Adjust the size of the brush as per your needs and reduce the hardness to 1-5%. Now start brushing only on the skin. Avoid edges like jawline, nose, eyes, lips, etc. Your photo will start to look like Fig. 6. I have started to brush from the bottom of her face.
Fig. 6
You and I are human and we are bound to make mistakes. This is a certain chance that you might have brushed over the edges also. We’re going to fix that now. Change the foreground color to black and start brushing on the edges like lips, nose etc. Fig. 7 shows how the area where I was brushing just before taking the screenshot. The black arrow represents that area.
Fig. 7
This is all for today. This is how you soften skin in Photoshop. Check out the final image one more time.
Hey guys, welcome the brand new Select Subject in Photoshop. I received a notification on my Creative Cloud that a new version of Photoshop is available. I quickly checked what Adobe has added to Photoshop and I saw the Select Subject.
I quickly updated my Photoshop to use this tool. I had already guessed what this feature does by its name. Yes, you are correct. This feature tries to find the subject in the photo. I cannot say that Select Subject in Photoshop is flawless and I am expecting few improvements in this feature in the upcoming months.
Time to try it. Fig 1 shows the lion that I selected with the help of Select Subject.
Let’s begin with the tutorial, guys.
What is Select Subject in Photoshop?
Select Subject feature in Photoshop tries to find the subject in the photo. It uses artificial intelligence to draw a selection around the subjection.
Where is Select Subject in Photoshop Located?
The feature is hidden in Photoshop. You need to grab either Quick Selection or Magic Wand tool by pressing W to see it. Fig 2 shows the exact location.
You can also use it by going to Select>Select Subject.
How to Use Select Subject in Photoshop?
Umm. Just click on it and that’s it. 😀
Did you notice that Photoshop automatically selects the subject in Fig 3? I did not need to make the selection using any tool. It was a one-click selection. Just one and then bam.
The selection made by Select Subject in Photoshop is not flawless. You need to refine the selection. I am going to use Select and Mask feature to refine the selection. Go to Select>Select and Mask.
I have highlighted the imperfection in Fig 3 that I am going to fix with Select and Mask.
The first thing that I am going to do is grab the Refine Edge Brush Tool (press E in Select and Mask). Now I am going to use it on the edges.
Pro Tip: Whenever you use Refine Edge Brush Tool, make sure that the center of the brush is outside the subject. If you can’t keep it outside, increase the size of the brush.
Look at Fig 5 to see how beautiful the selection is made.
In case you haven’t noticed, I did not even touch the controls on the right side. The selection is made just with the help of Select Subject and Select and Mask. Press OK to make the selection.
Hey, guys! Today, I am going to show you how to adjust the image size in Photoshop. It has been one of the most requested tutorials and I am surprised that I have never written one. And yes, you can enlarge the image with this tool.
The agenda is for today’s tutorial is very simple. The procedure is very simple and I’ll tell you more few things.
How to adjust the size of an image.
How image sizing is different than cropping.
How image sizing is different than canvas sizing.
Let’s begin with resizing an image.
Step 1 – Adjust the Image Size in Photoshop
Go to Image>Image Size. You can also press Cmd+Opt+I/Ctrl+Alt+I as a keyboard shortcut.
Fig. 1
Step 2 – Tweak the Settings
You’ll see a dialog box like Fig. 2. I’ll explain you all the things in this dialog box.
Fig. 2
Image Size: This tells you the image size on disk as per the current dimension. If you change your dimension, the image size will also change. In short, it tells you the real-time data.
Dimensions: This tells you the width and height of the original image. You can change the scale to pixels, cms, inches, or whichever scale you’re convenient with. I use my images for web purpose so I keep the scale in pixels
Fit To: Here you can find some predefined sets or templates with some industry standards. You may find it useful if you need to alter your images as per the industry standards.
Width: This defines the wideness of the image. You can change the scale here also. I usually keep it to either Pixels or Percent.
Height: This defines the height of the image. If you change your width, Photoshop automatically changes the height to maintain the aspect ratio. I’ll show how can you stop Photoshop from automatically adjusting the height later in this tutorial.
Resolution: This defines the number of pixels in an inch. The photography standard is 300 and the web standard is 72. The positive side of having a high resolution is that if you zoom in the image, it will not pixelate. The drawback is that more the pixels per inch, higher the image size. You can also change the scale here.
Resample: There are eight resampling methods in Photoshop. Whenever you change the size of an image, Photoshop needs to resample (basically process) all the pixels in your image. I have already written a tutorial on Resample in Photoshop. If you ask me which method should you choose to enlarge the image, I’d suggest “Preserve Details 2.0”. If you ask for scaling down the image, I’d say “Automatic”.
Additional Tips
In point 5, I mentioned that Photoshop automatically changes height is you change the width or vice versa. My image width was 2971 pixels and when I changed it to 1200 pixels, my height got changed automatically. Photoshop does it to maintain the aspect ratio otherwise your photo will look stretched.
Fig. 3
A quick way to disable this feature is to click on the chain icon that is shown in Fig. 4. This will unlink the height with the width. I know it distorts the image that can be seen in the preview pane.
Fig. 4
Some Common Differences
You may confuse this with few other things in Photoshop like Canvas size and Crop Tool. I’ll compare each of them so that you can use this feature like a pro.
Crop Tool vs. Image Size: Crop tool is used to crop an image. It reduces the dimension but a part of the image will be cropped out. Image resizing doesn’t crop out anything. All part of the image will be same. You can either scale down the image or scale up the image.
Canvas Size vs. Image Size: Canvas size can be used to increase your image work area. It doesn’t increase your image size. If you can increase the canvas size, it’ll fill the newly added area with white color (or any color you like). Image size doesn’t add or remove any white color to the added area. Instead, it enlarges or shortens the actual image.
