This tutorial will show you how to change the colour of eyes VERY simply using PhotoShop, as you can see it gives remarkably professional results. 

First paste the image into Photoshop, make sure it is quite a large image so that it can be worked with easily. Right click the layer that the image is on, press "Duplicate Layer" and then press ok on the pop up.

Press the mini eye next to the bottom layer, so that this layer is now invisible. Make sure the top layer is selected again: 

Now select the rubber tool, go onto the brushes menu and use a hard round brush and set it's hardness to 50%: 

Now start to rub out the Iris on the eye as shown below (Make sure this is done on the top layer): 

 Now make the bottom layer visible again by pressing the mini eye, select the bottom layer and go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation:

 Make sure "Colorize" is selected and begin to play around with the settings until you get a colour you are happy with! Try to keep it as realistic as possible!

You should be left with a beautiful different coloured eye!!
