5 Photoshop Tips to Make Eyes Sparkle

August 6, 2020

There are lots of tutorials about how to retouch eyes in Photoshop, but we think Unmesh Dindaโ€™s tutorial is one of the best. You may think you already know everything about editing portraits, but you may find some surprises in this video that you hadnโ€™t thought of before.

Unmesh demonstrates five unique techniques to add sparkle to the eyes in Photoshop, using his Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, which helps bring out the emotions in the subjectโ€™s face and make the portraits more captivating for the viewer.

Each image you retouch may or may not need all five steps, so Unmesh has included timestamps so you can easily jump around to the proper section of the video. He also includes sample images you can download to try the technique yourself.
