Whitening eyes

[mlchristy]

I am following your tutorial on whitening eyes.  I do the step with the eye dropper but in CC 2015.5  I am not seeing the channel place to add the difference in individual channels.  Mine looks nothing like your example.  Is there some place else I should be looking to add the difference to each channel? Thank you.

It's true that the interface has changed somewhat, but all the functionality remains exactly the same.  May I see a screenshot of what you're seeing?

[mlchristy]

Sure.  I am just showing the red channel. 

[Damien Symonds]

Yes ... I don't understand where you're stuck?  It looks like you're progressing perfectly.

[Damien Symonds]

Which step are you up to in the tutorial?  Have you got the HHI?

[mlchristy]

I have the HHI, it's 219 in the red channel. The others are less. So I subtract 219 from 255.  I get 36.  So where do I add the 36?

[Damien Symonds]

To each of the highlight numbers, of course.  Exactly as in my tutorial.  On the red channel which you screenshotted, add it to the 216.

[mlchristy]

Okay, but in your tutorial, there is a place to do that.  So I don't see that place. Sorry to be so dense.  Do I just drag the histogram until the number in the bottom says the added amount?

[mlchristy]

Maybe I type the new number in where it says output numbers?  In each channel?

[Damien Symonds]

What?  Just click on the 216!

[mlchristy]

Okay, thanks.  Got it finally.

Okay, just worked on teeth, and had to "paint" some of the spots after clicking with the color sampler.  I had already done your teeth method.  Now in trying to get those stupid little samplers off, I keep adding more (I am option clicking on them with a mac) So now I have ten.  I tried dragging them off the image, that's why they are all over the place. Yikes.

I did a quick mask to highlight the whites of the eyes, and I am now unable to  use the sampler for this process.  It says data is unable to be rasterized or some such thing. I am going to screen shot the error.  In the olden days this would be where I flattened my layers in frustration to get something to work, but I know you don't want that.  You can see I did the spot correction on the teeth in the layer right over the original image.  But I went back to the top of the pile of layers to do the eyes.   HELP!

Yes, Alt-drag them off.

Why were you using them in the first place?
