Watch Video - Written Tutorial
This video tutorial is excellent for new users or anyone curious about GIMP 2.10. We’ll walk you step by step through a simple but powerful technique to bring extra life and color into eyes. First, we’ll use the Healing Tool to clean up small distractions, like a stray hair over the cat’s eye. Then, with the Path Tool, we’ll carefully trace the exact shape of the eye for precision. Finally, we’ll paint the eye using the LCH Color mode to achieve bright, natural-looking colors that really stand out. It’s easier than you think, and the results can be stunning!
In this video, we show you the process on a cat photo, but don’t stop there — this technique works beautifully on portraits of people, or even with creative projects like fantasy art where you want glowing, colorful eyes. The best part? Once you’ve learned the method, you can experiment with different shades and styles to create your own unique look.
Try it out, have fun, and don’t be afraid to play around with different colors — from natural blues and greens to bold, fantasy-inspired shades. You’ll be amazed at how a small change can completely transform a photo!
