Luckily there s a pretty quick and easy way to fix this problem in Photoshop. Here s how Fixing Dark Eye Sockets Step One Here s the image we re going to work on and if you look at her eyes and the eye socket area surrounding them you can see that they re a bit dark. Brightening the whites of the eyes would help but the area around them will still be kind of shadowy so we may as well kill two birds with one stone and fix both at the same time. Step Two Go to the Layers panel and duplicate the Background layer the quickest way is just to press Command-J PC Ctrl-J . Now change the blend mode of this duplicate layer from Normal to Screen as seen here . This makes the entire image much brighter.

This hides your brighter Screen layer behind a black layer mask as seen here . Now switch to the Brush tool B choose a smallish soft-edged brush and paint a few strokes over the dark eye sockets and eyes as shown here . Now I know at this point it looks like she was out in the sun too long with a large pair of sunglasses on but we re going to fix that in the next step. Step Four What brings this all together is lowering the Opacity of this layer until the parts that you painted over and brightened in the previous step blend in with the rest of her face. This takes just a few seconds to match the two up and it does an incredibly effective job. See how when you lower the Opacity to around 35 which works for this particular photo each photo and skin tone will be .
