red ringed eyes

Hi Damien,

Best way to fix these? I've tried cloning and painting and it looks like crap. What method would you use?

I trust this is sufficient?

First, add a Dodge & Burn layer.  Don't do anything with it yet.

Above that, add a Channel Mixer layer:

• Red +100, 0, 0, 0
• Green +75, 0, 0, +8
• Blue +65, 0, 0, +6

Mask it carefully to the sclera.  It'll take care of most of the red, but will leave some slight dark rings.  So to deal with those, use the D&B layer.  Work with a 5% brush.

I hope you'll take the Channel Mixer class before too long.  It's so handy for so many purposes.

Thank you!

How did it go?
