  1. Thanks for the video! One observation if I may:
    Why do we say enhance eyes? It's not really enhancing but rather faking, isn't it? While yes these techniques are wonderful for creating art, and I consider people who use this kind of tools to be artists, but only when used in what I consider tôt the be the proper way, for art, not faking how one looks to make him/her more appealing say in a social media, or dating apps, or worse in ads. I feel it makes people, especially young people, forced to look a certain way even though everything is fake.
    I'd like to hear your opinion on the matter.

  2. Have you fallen out of love with sharpening by means of the high pass filter? I think that's the method you used on a previous eye tutorial, and it seemed really flexible and worked well.

  3. 👍👁think you did a great job. The 👀 have it. Cmd/Ctrl 👁 to invert. You have a host of eager pupils, just don’t blink. OK, pun storm over. New “studio” looks good — at least the plants haven’t yet taken over.

  4. Please please please do a video on color swatches. Color palettes. Whatever they are called. How to use them? How to create them? How to add them as visual aids to a photo?…. like on the side to the viewer as something they can see

  5. Hi Aaron and PHLEARN!! Great tutorial. Till now, I've been using this older tutorial ya'll did on eyes:

    As my gold standard. It appears you are doing some things very similar in this video, but in a different method. I'm going to study and maybe try to combine both of them, but if you see this, can you comment on old vs new ways of doing this? I loved the old effect, but am looking forward to trying this new version too and see what I like from each.
    But I would really enjoy talk from you as to comparing the two techniques!!

    Thank you and keep PHLEARNING!!

  6. 5:35 There is a easier way to show a quick before / after(considering you might have more layers than 4). Instead of sliding through all desired layers and uncheck the visibility, you can simply hold Alt key and click on the visibility button for the bottom layer (or any other layer in other circumstances). This will turn off the visibility for all other visible layers. Still holding Alt key, another click will make the layers visible again.

  7. I would have liked to have seen this but with a whole face and zooming into the eyes, to see how they stand out from the original photo before and after editing. It was just a giant eyeball might as well have been any inanimate object…

  8. hi aaron,in the sharpening part of this video,when you applied the image,you said you left the blend mode at multiply,but the actual blend mode you set was the normal blend mode.would the different in blend mode options make much difference to the sharpening effect?another very good tutorial again,thanks.
