Default Removing blue cast on eyes

Hi guys -- It's been a while since I last posted! I had my first two senior sessions this weekend. FUN!

I need help with the image below. After increasing constrast, curves, saturation in my pp, the whites of her eyes now have a slight blue-ish tint to them. How would you pp it to make it more white? I guess I could google "whitening eyes", but I figure I'll still post here to see what y'all come up with.

You could probably make a selective color adjustment layer, and mask out everything but the eyes. Then just go to the blue and cyan slider and mess with them. Going into the white one might help too.

First thing that came to mind.

Thanks Japaslavian! That worked perfectly. I actually tried to do that before (masking out), but instead of selective color, I was playing around with the hue/saturation and it wasn't working. Adjusting the selective color (both blue and cyan) worked!

I removed the old photo but below is the edited photo.

Cute photo, the eyes look great, but her teeth are still blue!

I didn't notice the teeth! LOL. But now that you pointed it out, I can totally see it.

Thanks for the heads up Liz! I'll fix it right now.
