Learn how to give your subject rainbow-colored eyes with Photoshop!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"author\">Written by Steve Patterson.<\/div>\n<p>In this tutorial, I show you how easy it is to turn someone's eyes into a rainbow of colors with Photoshop. To create the effect, all we need is a basic shape tool and one of Photoshop's rainbow-colored gradients. The only problem is that in Photoshop CC 2020, Adobe made changes to the gradients, and the gradient we need is not available by default. So the first thing you'll learn is where to find the gradient and how to load it into Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>From there, I'll show you how to create the main rainbow eye color effect, and how easy it is to create different variations, including how to reverse the gradient colors, how to rotate the colors around the eyes, and even how to choose different gradient styles. And best of all, we'll create the entire effect without making a single permanent change to the original image.<\/p>\n<p>To follow along, you'll need Photoshop 2020 or later. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100lrdjJ\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fproducts%2Fphotoshop.html\" title=\"Get Photoshop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get the latest Photoshop version here<\/a>. or earlier versions of Photoshop, check out my original <a href=\"\/photo-effects\/rainbow-colored-eyes-effect-with-photoshop\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Rainbow Eye Color<\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what the main rainbow eye color effect will look like.

And in previous versions of Photoshop, Spectrum was easy to find because it was one of the default gradients. But Photoshop CC 2020 replaces the original default gradients with new ones, and the originals have all been moved into a <em>Legacy Gradients<\/em> set. And to use this set, we first need to load it into Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>To load the set, open the <strong>Gradients panel<\/strong>. You'll find it in the same panel group as the Color, Swatches and Patterns panels:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/open-gradients-panel-photoshop.png\" alt=\"The new Gradients panel in Photoshop CC 2020\" width=\"282\" height=\"312\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new Gradients panel in Photoshop CC 2020.<\/div>\n<p>Then click on the panel's <strong>menu icon<\/strong> in the upper right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/gradient-panel-menu-icon.png\" alt=\"Opening the Gradients panel menu in Photoshop CC 2020\" width=\"294\" height=\"153\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Opening the Gradients panel menu.<\/div>\n<p>And choose <strong>Legacy Gradients<\/strong> from the menu:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/load-legacy-gradients-photoshop.png\" alt=\"How to load the Legacy Gradients in Photoshop CC 2020\" width=\"260\" height=\"112\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Loading the legacy gradients.<\/div>\n<p>Scroll down through the folders in the Gradients panel and you'll find the new <strong>Legacy Gradients<\/strong> folder at the bottom.

Choose one of the eyes (doesn't matter which one) and position your mouse cursor directly in the center of the pupil (the dark area in the middle). We're going to draw the shape out from this point. <\/p>\n<p>I'll start with the left eye. Click in the center of the eye to set the starting point for the shape:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/position-cursor-over-pupil.jpg\" alt=\"Positioning the mouse cursor in the center of the eye. \" width=\"802\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Positioning the mouse cursor in the center of the eye.<\/div>\n<p>Then with your mouse button still held down, begin dragging away from that point in any direction.

The Shift key locks the shape into a perfect circle, while the Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) key tells Photoshop to draw the shape  from its center (the spot where you first clicked).<\/p>\n<p>Continue dragging until the outline of the shape surrounds the entire iris (the colored area). Don't worry if some of the shape extends into the white of the eye or into the eyelids. We'll clean up those areas in a moment. For now, just make sure that the entire iris fits within the outline of the shape:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-draw-first-gradient.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing the shape out from the center until it surrounds the entire iris. \" width=\"802\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drawing the shape out from the center until the outline surrounds the entire iris.<\/div>\n<h4>How to reposition the shape as you draw it<\/h4>\n<p>If you need to reposition the shape as you're drawing it, keep the Shift key and the Alt \/ Option key held down and add the <strong>spacebar<\/strong>. Drag your mouse to move the shape and center it over the eye, and then release the spacebar to continue drawing.<\/p>\n<p>When you're done, release your mouse button, and then release your Shift and Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) keys. Make sure you release the keys <em>after<\/em> you've released your mouse button or you'll lose the effect that those keys were having.<\/p>\n<p>Photoshop draws the shape and fills it with our Spectrum gradient:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-rainbow-eyes-first-gradient.jpg\" alt=\"The shape covers the area of the eye we want to colorize. \" width=\"802\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The shape covers the area we want to colorize.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/basics\/drag-and-drop-colors-swatches-in-photoshop-cc-2020\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Related: New drag and drop color swatches in Photoshop CC 2020!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step 9: Change the shape layer's blend mode to \"Color\"<\/h3>\n<p>In the Layers panel, the shape appears on its own shape layer above the image.

The current Foreground and Background colors appear in the two <strong>color swatches<\/strong> near the bottom of the toolbar. The Foreground color is the swatch in the upper left.<\/p>\n<p>If your Foreground color is not set to black, press the letter <strong>D<\/strong> on your keyboard to quickly reset the Foreground and Background colors to their defaults. This sets the Foreground color to white and the Background color to black. Then press the letter <strong>X<\/strong> on your keyboard to swap the colors, making your Foreground color black:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-foreground-color-black.png\" alt=\"Photoshop's Foreground color swatch set to black. \" width=\"70\" height=\"178\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Foreground color (upper left) should be set to black.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 13: Paint around the iris<\/h3>\n<p>In the Options Bar, make sure the brush's <strong>Blend Mode<\/strong> is set to <strong>Normal<\/strong>, and that <strong>Opacity<\/strong> and <strong>Flow<\/strong> are both set to <strong>100&#37;<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/brush-tool-options.png\" alt=\"The Brush Tool's Mode, Opacity and Flow options in the Options Bar in Photoshop\" width=\"649\" height=\"103\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Mode, Opacity and Flow options in the Options Bar.<\/div>\n<p>Then simply paint around the outside of the iris to hide the unwanted colors from the gradient.<\/p>\n<p>For best results, use a small soft-edge brush.

Add a layer mask by clicking the <strong>Add Layer Mask<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/add-second-layer-mask.png\" alt=\"Clicking the Layer mask icon. \" width=\"275\" height=\"244\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Layer Mask icon.<\/div>\n<p>A white-filled <strong>layer mask thumbnail<\/strong> appears on the shape layer. And once again, the <strong>highlight border<\/strong> around the thumbnail tells us that the mask itself is selected:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/second-layer-mask-added.png\" alt=\"The second layer mask is added. \" width=\"275\" height=\"235\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The second layer mask is added.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 18: Select the Brush Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Select the <strong>Brush Tool<\/strong> from the toolbar:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/select-brush-tool-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Reselecting the Brush Tool from Photoshop's toolbar\" width=\"74\" height=\"144\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Reselecting the Brush Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 19: Paint away the unwanted color<\/h3>\n<p>Then with the <strong>Foreground color<\/strong> still set to <strong>black<\/strong>, paint over the white parts of the eye, the eyelid and the pupil in the center to hide the gradient colors from those areas:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/eye-2-step-5.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning up the areas around the second eye and in the pupil\" width=\"801\" height=\"454\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Cleaning up the areas around the eye.<\/div>\n<p>And with that, the main part of our effect is done! Both eyes have been colorized with our rainbow colors:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-both-eyes-rainbow-colors.jpg\" alt=\"The initial Rainbow Eye Color effect in Photoshop is complete\" width=\"806\" height=\"451\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The result after colorizing and cleaning up the second eye.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 20: Lower the opacity of the shape layers (optional)<\/h3>\n<p>If you find that the colors are too bright,  causing some of the detail in the eyes to be lost, you can reduce the intensity of the colors by lowering the opacity of the shape layers. And we can lower the opacity for both shape layers at the same time. <\/p>\n<p>I currently have the top Shape layer (&quot;Ellipse 2&quot;) selected in the Layers panel. So to select the other shape layer as well, I'll press and hold my <strong>Shift<\/strong> key and I'll click on the &quot;Ellipse 1&quot; layer. Both shape layers are now highlighted:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/selecting-both-shape-layers.png\" alt=\"Selecting both shape layers at once in Photoshop's Layers panel\" width=\"275\" height=\"187\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting both shape layers at once.<\/div>\n<p>Then with  both layers selected, I'll lower the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> value in the upper right of the Layers panel from 100% down to <strong>80%<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/lower-layer-opacity.png\" alt=\"Lowering the opacity of the shape layers. \" width=\"275\" height=\"202\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lowering the opacity of the shape layers.<\/div>\n<p>With the opacity lowered, the colors appear slightly less intense, and more of the original detail in the eyes is visible:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/rainbow-eyes-lowered-opacity.jpg\" alt=\"The result after lowering the opacity. \" width=\"805\" height=\"304\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The result after lowering the opacity.<\/div>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to customize the rainbow eye color effect<\/h2>\n<p>So now that we've created the initial rainbow eye color effect, let's learn how to customize it and create different variations. And we can do that just by editing the gradient settings.<\/p>\n<p>To edit the gradient settings for one of the eyes, double-click on its <strong>shape thumbnail<\/strong> in the Layers panel. I'll start with the eye on the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/double-click-shape-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"Double-clicking on the Shape layer's thumbnail. \" width=\"275\" height=\"187\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking on the shape  thumbnail for the right eye.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the <strong>Gradient Fill<\/strong> dialog box with various options we can change:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-gradient-fill-dialog-box.png\" alt=\"The Gradient Fill dialog box. \" width=\"317\" height=\"275\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Gradient Fill dialog box.<\/div>\n<h3>Option 1: Reversing the direction of the gradient<\/h3>\n<p>One thing we can do is reverse the direction of the colors in the gradient. And we do that by selecting the <strong>Reverse<\/strong> option:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/gradient-fill-reverse.png\" alt=\"Selecting Reverse in the Gradient Fill dialog box in Photoshop \" width=\"317\" height=\"137\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting \"Reverse\" in the Gradient Fill dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop shows us a live preview of the effect so we can keep the Gradient Fill dialog box open as we experiment with the settings. But keep in mind that we're changing the effect for only one eye at a time. So to make the same change for the other eye as well, you'll need to double-click on its shape thumbnail in the Layers panel and use the same setting(s).<\/p>\n<p>Here's what the effect looks like after reversing the colors in the right eye. The eyes now appear to mirror each other with their colors:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-rainbow-eyes-color-reversed.jpg\" alt=\"Creating a mirror effect by reversing the colors in one of the eyes \" width=\"802\" height=\"279\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Creating a mirror effect by reversing the colors in one of the eyes.<\/div>\n<h3>Option 2: Changing the angle of the gradient<\/h3>\n<p>We can also rotate the colors around the eye using the <strong>Angle<\/strong> option. You can click inside the dial and drag it around to change the value, or you can enter a specific value.<\/p>\n<p>The default angle is 90&deg;. At this angle, the color red is currently at the top of the eye. I'll change the angle to <strong>-90&deg;<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/gradient-fill-angle.png\" alt=\"Changing the angle of the gradient in Photoshop's Gradient Fill dialog box\" width=\"317\" height=\"143\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the angle of the gradient.<\/div>\n<p>With the angle rotated, the red now appears at the bottom of the eye on the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-rainbow-eyes-angle.jpg\" alt=\"The effect after rotating the angle of the gradient in the right eye\" width=\"802\" height=\"279\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The effect after rotating the angle of the gradient in the right eye.<\/div>\n<h3>Option 3: Changing the gradient style<\/h3>\n<p>The other option we might want to change is <strong>Style<\/strong>. It's currently set to <strong>Angle<\/strong> because that's what we chose back when we were drawing the shapes:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/gradient-fill-style.png\" alt=\"The Style option in the Gradient Fill dialog box in Photoshop\" width=\"317\" height=\"155\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Style option in the Gradient Fill dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>But if you click on the box, you'll see other styles we can choose from. I'll select one of the more interesting ones, like <strong>Radial<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/gradient-style-radial.png\" alt=\"Changing the style of the gradient to Radial in Photoshop's Gradient Fill dialog box\" width=\"317\" height=\"156\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the style of the gradient to \"Radial\".<\/div>\n<p>And here's what the Radial style looks like. Again, I'm only affecting the eye on the right at the moment:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-rainbow-eyes-radial.jpg\" alt=\"The effect after changing the right eye's gradient style to Radial in Photoshop\" width=\"802\" height=\"279\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The effect after changing the style of the right eye to Radial.<\/div>\n<p>When you're done with your changes, click OK to close the Gradient Fill dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/close-gradient-fill-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Closing the Gradient Fill dialog box in Photoshop\" width=\"319\" height=\"149\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Closing the dialog box.<\/div>\n<h3>Changing the gradient settings for the other eye<\/h3>\n<p>To edit the gradient settings for the other eye, double-click on its <strong>shape thumbnail<\/strong> in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/select-ellipse-1-shape.png\" alt=\"Double-clicking the Shape thumbnail for the other eye. \" width=\"275\" height=\"180\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking the Shape thumbnail for the other eye.<\/div>\n<p>And then in the Gradient Fill dialog box, make any changes you need. <\/p>\n<p>Just for fun, I'll set the <strong>Style<\/strong> of the gradient for the left eye to something different, like <strong>Diamond<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/gradient-settings-style-diamond.png\" alt=\"Changing the Style to Diamond in Photoshop's Gradient Fill dialog box\" width=\"317\" height=\"155\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the Style to \"Diamond\".<\/div>\n<p>Then I'll click OK to accept my changes and close out of the Gradient Fill dialog box. <\/p>\n<p>And now, both eyes have their own unique settings:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/rainbow-eye-color\/photoshop-rainbow-eyes-different-styles.jpg\" alt=\"Each eye is now set to a different variation of the rainbow effect. \" width=\"802\" height=\"279\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Each eye is now set to a different variation of the effect.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
