People With Glasses - How Do You Correct The Eyes?

[snoop69]

Have noticed that when you take a portrait of people wearing glasses, there
eyes can look a little strange due to the lens.

How do you prevent (without removing the lenses) this from happening or what
is a simple solution using software.

Example............................

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you avoid it during the shoot

Try Free Transform, you could try liquify, but FT mkes getting hte edges to line up easier.

Gathered that

How would you avoid it though with that facial angle?

Maybe pop the lenses out :shrug:

Thanks

Change your shooting angle to slightly lower, or raise the chin slightly. Similar results, just different methods.

Just make sure you can see both eyes through the lenses and you're not bisecting the eye with the frame.

Sorry, we may be discussing different things here

I didnt mean splitting the eyes with the frame but the bit of face near the
eye that get moved. I guess this is due to the curvature of the lens.

like this with the liquefy tool freeze the outside of the glasses and move the skin out to match

Ahh, I get you.

Change your shooting position so it doesn't happen

Transform tools, or liquify to fix it. If you use Liquify, make sure you freeze the frame / lens edge etc, and think about the texture in the hair too.

You also need to make sure you account for natural curvature of the eye socket, otherwise you get what Chaz has done and get and outward bulge where there should be an inward curve.

This is what I mean by curvature of the eye socket, where it curves "back" to meet the curve of the cheek.

Oh, I did a softlight B&W overlay as well (Red Filter used on the B&W layer).
And you need to clean the background

Took longer to get to the other Mac, via the kitchen, than to actually do it.
