Lesson 3: How to Change the Eye Color in Pixlr 

 

Changing the eye color in the image is a simple however, there are few tricks. I will highlight them to reduce the incorrect moves. Of course, we have very friendly, helpful tool which is Undo (Ctrl + Z)

1) Open the Pixlr Advance

2) Open an image which has a clear eye color. I will use the image in this URL: http://www.desperatehousecows.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/eyes1.jpg

3) If the eye is not so clear try to change the image size or zoom in to the eye. It is not necessary for my picture. You can use the Zoom Tool (Z) or Change the image size which is Lesson 2.

4) After getting a clear eye image use the Lasso tool (L) to surround the eye.  It could be hard to do that at first but your hand will get used to it.
