There is a black outline around the iris of everyone's eye. If you did change a channel that outline would still be black.

Thanks for the great comments everyone. I hope I cleared up any confusion over the process I took.

Anarchos, the equivalent functionality exists in the Gimp. Zeissman, color contacts would create this sharp outline as they would not match the color of the rest of the eye. Greenem2, impressive work!

Comment by Zeissman:
I should say "sorry" for wording the first post rudely, and you did reply to my comment on your photo the first time.

If this were really done legally, you do know some tricks. I still am bothered by sharp line around the red in the eye.

There is nothing wrong with Desat. or adjusting one channel, that is just like adjusting the color, but I do not understand the uneven outline around the eye, or how it looks layers. A step-by-step, how'd they do that would be quite insightful I think.

It is changing the whole image...all blue in the image.

Comment by paganini:
Isn't desaturation and adjust BLUE channel in violation of spot editing? I mean, you are only changing one aspect of the color spectrum, not the whole image as with RGB curves adjustment (to all colors).... just wondering how the rules are supposed to work :)

First of all, I e-mailed you a description of my steps during the voting, and desaturation was only TWO STEPS out of SIX or SEVEN. I'll post my original tomorrow for all to look at, but for now here are the basic steps (which you DID recieve):

(first of all I was wearing blue contacts)
Curves (blue channel, to boost the eye color)
Desaturate all colors but blue
Change blue hue to red, adjusting saturation & lightness also
Desaturate all colors but red, boost red saturation
Curve adjustments, unsharp mask, etc. (nothing to do with the eye)
