[ 037 ]Step Nine: To add some warmth to
the image, use the Adjustments panel
to add a Photo Filter adjustment layer.
Set the Filter to Warming Filter (85) at
a Density of 25%, and enable the Pre-
serve Luminosity option
Step 10: The eyes of the beast are
naturally dark. Click on the photo layer
in the Layers panel to make it active,
and use the Quick Selection tool (W) to
select the eye areas. Tip: Use the Left
Bracket key ([) to quickly decrease the
size of the brush. If the Quick Selec-
tion tool selects too much, press-and-
hold the Option (PC: Alt) key, and paint
those areas to remove them from the
selection. Create a new layer from the
selection by going to Layer>New>Layer
Via Copy (or Command-J [PC: Ctrl-J]).
Move this new layer to the top of the
layer stack, and set the blend mode to
Screen near the top left of the Layers
panel to brighten the eyes significantly.
Then, use the Eraser tool (E) with a soft
round tip to soften any hard or sharp
edges. Double-click the name of the
layer, and rename it “Eyes.”
