Lars,
Please explain how you were able to create the image you posted. I am trying to learn PS Elements 2.0. Thought I was getting pretty good...until I attempted to re-create your effect and could not. Oh well....practice, practice, practice.
Thx, Bill
Ok, here is a little summary of what I did:
1. create a new layer.
2. select a circle area with the cirlce marquee tool in the size of the iris
3. fill it with the color you want to have for the iris.
4. apply gaussian blur filter to smoth the edges of the circle. this is to make it look more natural later on.
5. now the magic thing. B) there is a drop down field in the layer window, which has different blending options, like darken, vivid, multiply, etc... I used the vivid blending, but you may try some of the others and take the one that fits best to your idea.
6. now I created an empty layer mask to the circle layer to remove the upper part of the circle, which overlayed the eyebrow. I took the brush tool with a big diameter [300 or more] to have soft edges and just painted in the layer mask, where I wanted the circle to disapear.
7. I color corrected the skin a bit. gave it more saturation to have a better contrast to the iris.
thats it basicly. The most important step is the blending option, you have in the layer window. this allows you to add a color from one layer to the other layers below with different methods.
I used Photoshop 7 and not Photoshop Elements. I do not know, if all functions are available in PS Elements.
