Oh, I change my sig from time to time...It's just usually several months in between. I think the last time I changed my sig was in May. My avatar, however, has not changed since I joined A-U a year-and-a-half ago :D. I'm just one of those weird people who hates to change their identity, I guess. My username is my identity (has been for three years now all over the web), and my graphics are my identity. I just don't like changing either one up a whole bunch. :P
(Though you're not the first one to be shocked by my mentioning the concept of changing...Methinks I should be getting my very own custom member award: the Treebeard Award for being the most steadfast and unchanging :D)

Yep. Well I also tweaked the darkness, and used the burn tool to make it a bit more realistic.

Layer>New layer
Take a soft, round brush (foreground color grey, white, black or somethign like that) and on the new layer brush the parts you�d like colored
Then change the layer�s mode to whatever suits you best. =)

(or just select the eyes, and desaturate. They´ll become grayer ^^)

Hm..well..here's my way. Select the eyes (using either the polygomial lasso tool or magnetic lasso tool, and go to Image>>Adjustments>>Hue/Saturation or click Ctrl+U
Adjust the color (hue), saturtaion and brightness/darkness until you get what you want.

(Also make sure you click the colorize box.)

I use a tutorial (pathetic, I know :P)

http://www.themagic-box.net/ps_tutorial07.php

I've never gotten the hang of making my people's eyes look as good as the ones in the tutorial, but maybe you guys can manage it :jump:
