How Do You Make a Laser Eye Meme in Photoshop?

Do you want to create a laser eye meme in Photoshop? Laser eye memes have become incredibly popular and are a fun way to add a touch of humor to your photos. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making your own laser eye meme using Photoshop.

Step 1: Choose Your Image

The first step is to select the image you want to use for your laser eye meme. You can choose any image that you find funny or interesting. It could be a picture of yourself, a friend, or even a celebrity.

Step 2: Open the Image in Photoshop

Once you have chosen your image, open it in Adobe Photoshop. To do this, click on "File" in the top menu bar and select "Open". Locate the image file on your computer and click "Open". The image will then appear in the Photoshop workspace.

Step 3: Duplicate the Background Layer

In order to apply the laser eye effect without altering the original image, we need to create a duplicate layer. To do this, right-click on the background layer in the Layers panel (usually located on the right side of the screen) and select "Duplicate Layer".

Step 4: Select the Pen Tool

The next step is to select the Pen Tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen. The Pen Tool is used for creating precise selections and paths. Click on its icon or press "P" on your keyboard to activate it.

Create a Path Around One Eye

Using the Pen Tool, carefully create a path around one of the eyes in your image. This path will determine where we apply our laser effect.

Create a Second Path Around the Other Eye

Repeat the previous step to create a path around the other eye. Make sure both paths are accurately following the shape of each eye.

Step 5: Stroke the Paths

Now that we have our paths, it's time to apply the laser effect. With both paths selected, go to the top menu bar and click on "Edit". In the dropdown menu, select "Stroke". A dialog box will appear.

Choose a Color for Your Laser Effect

In the dialog box, you can choose the color for your laser effect. You can either select a color from the color picker or enter specific values for RGB or hexadecimal codes.

Select a Stroke Width

You can also choose how thick you want your laser effect to be by adjusting the "Width" value in pixels. Experiment with different widths until you find the one that suits your image best.

Step 6: Apply Blending Mode

To make our laser effect blend seamlessly with the image, we need to apply a blending mode. In the Layers panel, change the blending mode of the duplicated layer from "Normal" to "Screen". This will make everything except for our laser effect transparent.

Step 7: Fine-Tune and Save Your Meme

You can further fine-tune your meme by adjusting various settings like opacity and position. Play around with these settings until you are satisfied with how your meme looks.

Save Your Laser Eye Meme

Once you are happy with your meme, it's time to save it. Click on "File" in the top menu bar and select "Save As". Choose a file format (JPEG or PNG) and a location on your computer to save the image.

Now you have successfully created your very own laser eye meme using Photoshop! Feel free to share it with your friends or on social media to spread some laughter. Happy memeing!
