Description Jake again. This time, I edited the photograph as grayscale, then layered and masked it so only the eye is colored. I rather like the end result.

And yes, that IS his real eye color.

edit: added a border with title

edit2: I thought it would be only appropriate to mention my sad news here, on my featured, and most favorited, deviation. Unfortunately, Jake had to be put down some time ago. He was quite old, had advanced arthritis, cancer, and his teeth were so long and messed up that they were impeding his ability to properly eat. I was with him when it happened, just as I had been for the other animals in my life. We gave him a very long, good grooming before the vet came, and I could tell he really enjoyed it. Jake is sorely missed, but it makes me happy to see that everyone enjoys this photo of him so much. In this way, he still lives on.

That is beautiful! And I'm so sorry for your loss . What color and breed was he?

My horse has light sandy colored eyes with blue specks. I love it when horses have usual colored eyes!

Yup. Particularly perlinos and champagnes have hazel-green eyes.

You have to open two files of the same picture. One grayscale, one color. Drag the grayscale picture to the file of the colored one. Align the grayscale with the colored, exactly. If it's off by even a tiny bit, you won't be able to do the next step. Now you add a mask to the grayscale. Take the paintbrush and start to paint over the black and white where you want color, like the way I did for the horse's eye. I had to use a very small brush to get in between the eyelashes. It took a long while, lol

At first, I was only going to do the whole thing in black and white. Then I thought, his eye is really gorgeous, why make it black and white? So I just manipulated my photo the way I did. I'm super glad I did it this way too, because the grayscale effect on the rest of the picture makes it kinda soft, and draws attention to the eye. I'm really proud of it <3 Thanks for favoriting it Wro

Hmm. I just use Photoshop 7. But, what I do in this program is to go to Image, Mode, Grayscale. For you, try finding the dropdown menu that lets you alter the image. It could be called Mode or Adjustments.
