using Screen layer mode to ramp up the iris. This one works for
both dark and bright eye colours – so noone is excluded!!
Combine this effect with our other horror walkthroughs and your
‘reverse-makeover‘ will get seriously nasty. Read on for the
breakdown..

DUPLICATE AND SCREEN
Fire up Photoshop and create a duplicate of your stock image layer (Ctrl/Cmd + J). Set this new
duplicate to Screen Layer Mode. Duplicate the Screen layer; as many times as it requires, to get your
desired iris brightness. Once the iris looks bright enough – click on the top layer, hold Shift and click
the first duplicate in the layer stack. This will allow you to select the entire row. Merge all the selected
duplicates (Ctrl/Cmd + E).
Once you have completed this step, add a layer mask to the merged duplicate layer (see above). Your
entire image will be affected by the brighten layer you have just created, the next task will be to
selectively apply the brightening to only the iris area.
Here’s how the example image looks so far:
SELECTIVE MASKING
Click on the Layer Mask you created for the brighten layer, and invert to black (Ctrl/Cmd + I) – this will
hide the layer contents completely. The task here is to selectively paint in the brighten effect using the
layer mask, over the iris’; there are a number of different approaches that can be used. The simple
method is to use a Soft-Edged Brush (B) set to white, change the brush size so it is roughly the width
of the iris and click on each eye.
The method used for the example piece is slightly different. I used the Ellipse Tool (U) set to white and
created circles over both eyes. Once positioning was correct, a Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian
Blur) set to 26px was used to blur the circles within the layer mask.
In image 2 below, you can see a little cleanup was required. I used a small-width Soft-Edged Brush (B)
set to black to paint away the brightness that went over the eyelashes etc. A small brush click on each
pupil brought them back to prominence (pic 3).
FINISHING TOUCHES
When duplicating Screen layers in such a fashion, you can often get pixel degradation. You can easily
remedy this by using the Smudge Tool (40% Strength), and smoothing the iris by smudging outwards
from the pupil.
You can also accentuate the eye shadow by painting with black on a new layer set to Soft Light. Ive
added a couple of extra adjustments and a bit of colour processing to liven up the image a bit, like so:
Great creepy results with a few simple steps:
