Video: How to create bold eyes in Photoshop

The eyes have it, as the saying goes, and this is especially true in portrait photography, where you can make a photo much more impactful by enhancing your subject's eyes.

In this video by Blake Rudis of f64 Academy, you'll learn exactly how to do that, by learning a creative technique for enhancing the eyes in Photoshop.

Essentially, the tutorial uses radial gradients around the iris to make eyes appear more vibrant and bold, but we appreciate how Blake also touches on the importance of not overdoing it with the technique as it can make the whole effect look a bit overdone.

You can see more of Blake's excellent videos on the f64 Academy YouTube channel.
