Pogo Eye Fix

Pogo's eyes are very difficult to fix because they're so light. The color of the eye almost looks like a reflection. This is what I did: I outlined with the Magic Wand almost all of the irises that contained yellow and red. I desaturated the yellow and then the red. There was a little red left so I used the sponge tool to finish desaturating that. Next I used the polygonal selection tool to roughly outline the pupil. It was feathered 1 pixel. I made a levels adjustment to darken the pupils and then painted away the "deer in the headlight" flash reflection and repainted it with a hard brush where you see it. I had to adjust the shape of the pupils and I used the smudge brush for that. I finished by slightly darkening the iris color with a levels adjustment because they looked to unreal.
