			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know those color changing contact lenses right? Well before you go out and buy a pair have a take on photoshop and see what eye color suits you best. Lets see how you can do this in simple&nbsp;steps.</p>
<p>Step 1. Open your image on your editor, we will use a random picture from the internet for this&nbsp;tutorial.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-1.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-1-300x213.png" alt="eye color 1" title="eye color 1" width="300" height="213" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-797" /></a></p>
<p>Step 2. Go to Add a New Layer from the top navigation&nbsp;bar.</p>
<p>Step 3. On the Layers options change the first drop down menu from Normal to&nbsp;Color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-2.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-2-300x115.png" alt="eye color 2" title="eye color 2" width="300" height="115" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-798" /></a></p>
<p>Step 4. From your tool bar on the left choose the normal Brush&nbsp;Tool.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-3.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-3-300x234.png" alt="eye color 3" title="eye color 3" width="300" height="234" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-799" /></a></p>
<p>Step 5. On the bottom of your tool bar and with the brush tool chosen go to the color picker tool. Choose a color, any color, except for black or&nbsp;white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-4.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-4-300x190.png" alt="eye color 4" title="eye color 4" width="300" height="190" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-800" /></a></p>
<p>Step 6. Zoom in the eye of your picture, and start brushing the iris of the eye (thats the colored part) , gradually cover the entire colored area of the&nbsp;eye.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-5.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-5-300x171.png" alt="eye color 5" title="eye color 5" width="300" height="171" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-801" /></a></p>
<p>Step 7.From the top bar of your editor choose: Adjustments->Hue->Saturation .This will bring up the dialogue box as shown below, on the top right corner of that box there is a radio button called &#8220;Colorize&#8221; . Check&nbsp;it. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-6.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/eye-color-6.png" alt="eye color 6" title="eye color 6" width="214" height="263" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-803" /></a></p>
<p>Step 8.By scrolling the Hue/Saturation/Lightness bars you can edit the new color of your eyes just the way you want it. When happy hit <span class="caps">OK</span> and&nbsp;done! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting the occasional white hair, maybe you have already turned into Santa?Maybe you simply want to experiment around with your hair color but not on the field?<br />
For all the above we will see step-by-step how to get&nbsp;there.</p>
<p>Step 1. Open your picture on photoshop. We will use a rather dull one (hair-wise) to make the effect more&nbsp;obvious.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-783" title="hair 1" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-1-300x296.png" alt="hair 1" width="300" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>Step 2. Use the lasso tool to select the hair area. This is probably the most time consuming step of this tutorial, so take your time to get it right! Zoom in the hair area using the magnifying glass and bit by bit select the hair area. In the end you should end up with a dotted line halo effect like&nbsp;this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-784" title="hair 2" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-2-290x300.png" alt="hair 2" width="290" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Step 3. We will now create a &#8220;fill layer&#8221; on our selected area, that we will fill with color, which will basically be the new hair color of our choice. So on your top nav bar choose Layer-&gt;New Fill Layer -&gt; Solid Color and hit&nbsp;<span class="caps">OK</span>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-3.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-785" title="hair 3" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-3-300x160.png" alt="hair 3" width="300" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>Step 4. You will be presented with a color picker window. Slide the intensity bar on top so you can get a solid color. Notice how the hair color changes in the&nbsp;background.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-4.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-786" title="hair 4" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-4-300x224.png" alt="hair 4" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Step 5. We will choose a deep orange color which for the time being will look pretty horrible, but thankfully we are not done&nbsp;yet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-5.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-788" title="hair 5" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-5-300x288.png" alt="hair 5" width="300" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Step 6. On top of your layers you will see the blending mode for your &#8220;fill layer&#8221;, this is set by default to normal that basically masks the entire original layer. We will set this to soft light mode. Just click on the drop down menu and choose Soft Light&nbsp;mode.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-6.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-6-300x219.png" alt="hair 6" title="hair 6" width="300" height="219" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-790" /></a></p>
<p>Step 7. This will result in your &#8220;Fill Layer&#8221; blending with the original hair color quite convincingly. You may find the color still a bit too strong, but no worries you can adjust this by double clicking on your fill layer. This will pop the color picker window and you can simply play around with the light and intensity&nbsp;slider. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-8.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-8-274x300.png" alt="hair 8" title="hair 8" width="274" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-791" /></a></p>
<p>Step. 8 Finally play around a bit with opacity to give you an even more natural&nbsp;effect.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-9.png"><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hair-9-300x299.png" alt="hair 9" title="hair 9" width="300" height="299" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-793" /></a></p>
<p>And here you go with your final result. All wholesome all natural and risk free!&nbsp;Enjoy!</p>
