Portrait Retouching – Eyes

Unlike the Eyes tools in the Facial Reshape group, the Eyes feature group here focuses on enhancing the appearance and impact of the eyes through lighting effects, glare removal, and visual refinements. These tools emphasize expression and mood rather than structural changes.

Brightness

Enhance the overall luminosity and clarity of the eyes. Each area of the eye can be adjusted together (conjunction adjustment) or independently (separate adjustment for left and right sides).

Sub-features: Enabled once Brightness slider has been adjusted

  • Iris – Adjusts the brightness of the iris (Range: 0–100, Default: 80)

  • Eyes (Whites) – Adjusts the brightness of the white part (aka sclera) of the eye (Range: 0–100, Default: 80)

  • Eye Reflection – Controls the strength of the natural reflection in the eyes (Range: 0–100, Default: 40)

  • Iris Flare – Adds brightness to the bottom part of the pupil for extra dimension (Range: 0–100, Default: 0)

Remove Glasses Glare

Automatically removes reflections or glare caused by eyeglasses with a single slider.

  • Note: This does not currently work for colored or tinted glasses.

Red Vein Removal

Removes redness and visible blood vessels from the eyes while preserving natural shadows and highlights.

Red Eye Removal

Use this toggle switch in the Eyes section to automatically detect and correct red-eye caused by flash photography.

Manual Tuning Pen

For greater control, a Manual Tuning Pen allows users to correct over-removal or fine-tune results manually.

Catchlights

Enhance the sparkle and expressiveness of the eyes by adding controlled light reflections (catchlights).

  • Includes 12 styles total: 6 for General use and 6 for Indoor environments.

  • Use the slider to adjust the intensity.

  • Catchlights can be repositioned for optimal placement based on the eye’s position and lighting.
