Set the foreground color to black or to a dark color from the image. On theOptions bar, set the blending mode to Darken with an Opacity no greater than about 80%. This setting darkensthe eye while maintaining the detail.4. Pour the paint carefully into the pupils of the eyes, making sure not to pour it into any white or colored highlightsin the pupil. You might need to click different selected parts of the pupil to cover it all. If you accidentally fill oneof the highlights, undo. If you want to accent the highlights more, use a single-pixel pencil and touch up asneeded.5. Press Command+H (Mac) or Control+H (Windows) to hide the selection so that you can evaluate the effect ofthe change. Figure 22.6 shows the finished cat.Figure 22.6. Highlights in the pupils are called catchlights.The semi-opaque black that we poured in effectively darkened the pupils without losing detail. You can use this technique any time youhave a small area in a picture that needs to have the color changed drastically. Be careful not to select any part of the image that you don'twant to change.The Color Replacement ToolIf the method we just used to fix the cat's eyes doesn't appeal to you, you'll be glad to know that Photoshop includes a tool createdexpressly for fixing small spots that need a quick color change. The Color Replacement tool uses the foreground color to paint selectivelyover only the color you choose to replace. It's quicker than using the previous method, but might not give as good results around theedges of the eye. If you find a red ring around your corrected eye, you can adjust the tolerance to a higher setting so more of the color willbe replaced. Figure 22.7 shows the tool in use, correcting the same eyes.
