Help: What's the best way of changing peoples eye colour...

....without affecting the rest of the picture?

Bongani

What I do is this:
Zoom in, and using the lasso tool with a slight (1 or 2 pixels) feather select JUST the iris of the eye and adjust the color by
going to - Image> adjustments> color balance
Do each eye individually, you will have to keep track of your settings when you switch eyes
Very dark eyes are hard to change so they look good but it can be done. If you play with the different options in the adjustments menu, you can come up with come VERY interesting effects

If you hold down the shift key when you lasso, you can select both eyes and the resultant change will be equal in both eyes.

Yes you do Kate - but try not to squint or you will end up with "frown lines".

Yor Welcome, but the comment was for the OP. First-timers at this might not know that, so I'm just completing the instructions.
