The eyes have it! Big, bright eyes will draw the viewer into the photo – afterall, the eyes are the windows to the soul. So how do we get such crisp, sparkly eyes? We perform a High Pass in Photoshop. Although there are various ways to sharpen an image, here is how we do a High Pass:

Create a duplicate layer.

Choose Filter, select High Pass. Choose a number that will outline the eye area.

Create a Mask Layer, and hit Control + Backspace to turn the mark layer black.

Select Overlay.

Choose a brush, and adjust the size. Brush over the eye.

Voila!! – big, bright, beautiful eyes!
