Hey peoples. I was just wondering if anyone knows any good ways to make convincing iris's (irii?) in Photoshop. Anyone knoe of any actions or websites that might have some help? Thanks, TinMan

You came to the right place. Eyes are one of my favorite things to make in PhotoShop! :) I'll write up a quick tutorial on how I do them this weekend for everyone. GeorgeD

Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where can we find it?

Dear George: Looking forward to your tutorial with great anticipation. Jade

Tutorial has been posted. See thread above. GeorgeD

i found an excellent eye action at action exchange...very realistic n ive lost count of how many times ive used it...its really easy to use and gives u the option of the colour u want it although it limits u to just a couple of colours ,but u can change the colour using the hue/saturation options. When u go to this url (see below) u need to become a member b4 u can d/l anything,but its free n theres hundreds of other actions which makes it worth while spending a few mins on the members form..anywayz hope this is useful :o)http://www.actionxchange.com/showaction.cfm?ActionID=2402

The best way I found to make a v/quick iris in Photoshop 4/5 is to create a basic circle, fill it with any basic eye colour you want, air brush in a little depth w/black around the edges. Then add guassian noise twice, first colour, then monochromatic (B/W) noise @ a slightly different amount setting. Now apply a fair amount of radial blur/zoom filter @ medium quality setting to your noisy circle and voila' a funky iris type texture. Duplicate the layer and add a pupil and apply a very slight amount of Radial/zoom blur to the layer to merge the the pupil with the iris. Air brush in some high lights, shade and add a little bit more noise to add some more variation to the texture. For an intense highlight/reflection create a black layer above your iris, apply a lens flare to it and turn its layer options from normal to screen, so all the black becomes invisible and you have a cool flare type highlight. Erase the parts of the flare you dont want from that layer and you should be looking at a complete and convincing hand drawn iris.
