Catchlights are one of those little details in a portrait that are crucial to crafting a professional-level image. Sometimes, you have a photo that is otherwise a great shot aside from the catchlight missing in one of your subject's eyes due to the angle they were at relative to the light source. Luckily, it is a quick and easy fix, and this awesome video tutorial will show you how to approach it.
Coming to you from PJ Pantelis, this great video tutorial will show you how to quickly and easily fix a missing catchlight in one of your subject's eyes. A catchlight may be a small detail, but it is a crucial aspect to add a bit of life to your subject, as the eyes can appear a bit dull and lacking otherwise. Luckily, if one of your subject's eyes is missing a catchlight, it doesn't take long to fix it using the clone stamp. One thing to remember is to try using a soft-edged brush. This helps to naturally blend the transitions with a lot less work. This can be especially important in a subject with lighter eyes, where the edges might be more obvious. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
I think you forgot to link the video. What the video suggests is the likely the only sensible method anyway. I thought it was going to be some new technique.
Thanks!
