How to Change Eye Color in Gimp 2.6

The technology available to us today is beyond amazing, but exactly how do you use this technology and make it do what you want?

We are going to be focusing on Gimp 2.6 for now. In this article I will walk you through step-by-step on how to change a persons' eye color in Gimp 2.6. Here we go...

Step one: Insert the picture you would like to use, into Gimp. You can do this by clicking the "File" button at top left of your display page. Scroll down to "open", find the picture you want, and select.

Step two: Now you have to make a new layer of that picture. Do this by clicking "Layer" at the top of the screen by "File", "Edit", "Select", and so on. Click "Layer" and scroll down to "New Layer". Name your new layer whatever you would like. I suggest "eyes" so you can keep track of what the layers are for. The layer fill type should be marked as "Transparency".

To view your layer window, press 'CTRL + L' on your keyboard.

Step three: Make sure you are still on your new layer while you are doing this step. Go to your toolbox and select the "Paths Tool". It looks kind of like the tip to a fountain pen. Once you have that tool, you are going to trace the outline of colored portion of the eye. Do this by clicking a once, which will show up with a circle, and continue doing this completely around the color portion of the eye until your last circle touches your beginning circle.

Step four: In the toolbox, under all the tools, you should see a long grey box. In that box you should see something that says "Paths" in bold black print. Under it there should be another button called "Design" with a white circle next to it. Mark that cirle. The click the button in that same grey box that reads "Selection from path".
