This 2nd part of the tutorial deals with retouching the colored part of the eye. We really clean up the iris and pupil and add more definition to the eye. So much gets lost in the detail and eye color when shooting a face. In this tutorial we learn how to bring back the luster and even enhance the energy in the eye and make it really come to life. This can add so much appeal to a photograph and make the photo of the person look much more life-like.
