    You could roto the eyes and use curves to tone down the luminence values and if the saturation get’s freaky then you can decrease saturation as well.
    You could also try tracking the eyes and applying tracking data on adjustment layer on top of the eyes and after that correcting mask for the adjustment layer.

    Dotan, that’s what I answered you just here.. You didn’t need to repost this a second time, Calf is a great forum too. Thought my response wasn’t good?

    Of course, it’s quite likely they also had white contact lenses in Xmen. Back in the old days, they would do a similar effect with the skin of a boiled egg.

    If you really want a computer solution, and the shape isn’t matching up, you’ve got a lot of rotoscoping to do.
