Right, heres what we are gonna do:

This should work for any eyes, but to get max effect, load up a big picture of your eye
You can use your own eye or use mine:
Image
Right, so, load up the pic.
The eye itself seems a bit too sharp [ If you wan't you can skip this part ]


1) Ctrl+J on the Background layer, so we get a copy of the original
2) Use Gaussian Blurr [ Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur ] Use: 0,5
3) Mask the new layer


Right, now we'l change the colour of the eye.
4) Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color
Use: #94eaff for the color.
5) Now make a mask for the new layer
6) Mask so that only, the eye part of the image takes effect.

7) Set the blending mode to "Hue"


My Product so far:
Image

More pimping of the eye.
9) Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance >
Set only for Midtones.
"-85, +6, +54"

Image

10) Mask it so that the eye part takes only effect.
Only this time, make sure the "pupil" or w/e the dark area of the eye is called,
takes no effect.


11) Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Photo Filter > "Cooling Filter (82)"
12) Mask it that only this time only the eye takes effect, only this time.
brush a little over the eye on the white part of the eye, so it will later
give a effect that it glows a bit.


My Product so far and help to Step 12:
ImageImage[/URL]

13) Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels > [For my image] "0, 0,37, 255"
No masking needed this time

Now to lose some colour.
14) Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation > [For my image] "+8, -75, -4"
Check the "Colorize" -button
Help for Step 14:


My Product so far:
Image

Allmost ready with the actual image.
Time to lighten up the eye.
15) Make a new layer, brush the eye part with white.
Help for step 15:
Image
16) Set the blending mode to "Overlay" of this new layer.


17) Repeat steps 15-16 two more times, so you have in total 3 layers of white.


The Image part is done, now if you want you can do frames, frames tho
aren't explained in this tut, its prety self explanatory
18) Image > Canvas Size > In pixels canvas from 516width 235height
to 536width and 255height.

Help for step 18:

From this part, you can make your own frames. Good Luck

I'll get DooM back here to answer your questions asap. Welcome to the board

Wow lots and lots of masking, I got lost along the way mostly due to me being a noob. I didnt get how you were selecting the eye, i trued usin the marquee tools but they were just messy and the magic wand tool was no help.

I Sent Doom a Private Message, He should be here to answer your questions shortly. If not, I will try to answer them Welcome to the board

To mask just Layer->Layer Mask->Reveal all.
To select unwanted areas brush it with black, wanted with white
On the authors image the pupil is to bright
So its better
