Nebula Eyes Effect

Here is a self-studied image processing that I accidentally learned a while ago. It’s easy and I know that everyone can do it! :)

———-

Step 1: Open (Ctrl + O) image # 1 then followed by the image # 2.

IMAGE #1

IMAGE #2

I’ve used two photos here. The first photo is the Eyes photo by BJacobs on Deviantart (IMAGE #1) and Nebula image (IMAGE #2)from ohscience.

STEP 2: Drag image #2 to to image #1. Take note, the image #2 is bigger than image #1 so be sure to Resize (Ctrl + T) it once you’ve dragged. It should look like this:

STEP 3: Change the  blend mode of image #2 (nebulla) from Normal to Overlay.

Can you now see the difference of image #2 from the step # 2? Well if yes, we are down to our last step!

STEP 4: Using a Soft Brush Eraser (Ctrl + E), erase the unwanted parts of image #2 or try to erase at the edges of the retina so it will look like a round shape image. Then after erasing, Resize image #2 again so it can perfectly fit on your eyes. Flatten your image and…

…TADA! YOU’RE DONE!

P.S. I’ve tried to use this process to an image that has brighter light and it didn’t worked out. So, I  recommend you to use an image that is highly contrasted or darker image so the blending will perfectly fit. And oh, try to use different Nebula photos, by the way.

T’was really easy. Hope you’ll learn from this simple tutorial that I’ve made. Please leave a reply or do comment if you have any questions regarding this. Thank you and enjoy! :)
