PSP tutorial for cat eyes

[Laura's Babies]

This tutorial shows you how to color the WHOLE eye first... blue for blue eyes cats, gold for gold eyes and such, then how to do the pupil and add part of the eyelid.. It is really neat! Well worth the wait for me to see how it is done.

Yeah, It loaded after I had typed that out. I knew how to do that before but i've never had to do it with dog's eyes. It's interesting how differently animal's eyes come out with pictures!

This may sound lengthy, but this is what I've done -- this only works on neutral eyes, though. In the case of my Cleo who has grey eyes, this works wonders: I take my elliptical tool and encircle both red eyes as accurately as I can, and then "copy" and paste it into a new file -- I grayscale this file, and then copy and paste it back. I don't use PSP, but Photoshop, so I'm not sure if this works the same. And if I don't de-select the original selection I encircled, when I paste it back, it pastes right into that selection. Generally, pupils are a dark color and this works really well. Cleo is forever showing up in my photos with red eyes, yet for all the photos I've posted of her -- you can't tell that I modified her eyes using this grayscale option. I find that trying to re-color often loses a lot of the natural shine that eyes have, so what I've been doing has much better results. See here for examples of Cleo's eyes that I've modified:

OK, I can NOT tell which ones you fixed! I want to be that good at it! You have mastered the eyes, I am just beginning.. I have had PSP for so long and am just now learning how to do stuff with it. There is so much to learn with that program. Since cats are my most photographed thing, I needed to learn how to do the eyes correctly!
