Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

My Blue Eyes

Posted in Family, Friends, Graphics, Photoshop, Art by Elliott Back on July 28th, 2005.

This post is all about my blue eyes. I took the following macro mode photos on my P-200 and enhanced them in photoshop. I’ll post them below, with an explanation of all what changed from real photo to photoshopped masterpiece.

This is my favorite. I desaturated and lightened the area around the iris, and then layered another layer of blue ontop. Beautiful.

The top portion was blurred, smoothed, and airbrushed into an orange gradient, while the eye itself was smartblurred and airbrushed. The eyebrows and lashes were not blurred, and stray hairs were pruned away.

Here, I used photoshop to selectively layer an ultra-sharpened image and the original, which I used as a hue mask. I erased some of the skin hues to allow violets and yellows to shine through.

    really interested in using one of your eye images for some publicity material for the band. we are not big and make no money at all - purely hobby stuff. What would you charge for the use of an eye?
    cheers!
