How do i change the eye color using GIMP?

I downloaded GIMP and it works great but i don't know how to change the eye color with it, and that's basically the only thing i wanted to do basically. And tell me a good download for ';cool fonts'; so that i can write on my pictures. Thank you so much if you answer!How do i change the eye color using GIMP?
It's very simple to do, but hard to describe. I'll give it a shot:





1) Open the image you want to change the eye color on in GIMP





2) In the ';Layers'; dialog click ';Duplicate'; (it's one of the buttons near the bottom)





3) Back at the top of the image window click ';Colors -%26gt; Hue-Saturation';





4) Move the ';Hue'; slider left and/or right until the eyes are the color you want, don't worry about what it does to the rest of the picture since we'll take care of that later. You can also play with the ';Lightness'; and ';Saturation'; sliders as well to get the exact color you want. When you're done and the eyes are the right color click ';OK';





5) Now, back in the ';Layers'; dialog right click on the layer that has the funky colors, it's probably called ';Background Copy';. Select ';Add Layer Mask...';





6) In the new window select ';Black (Full Transparency)'; then click ';Add';. The image should be back to the original colors now.





7) In the ';Layers'; dialog click on the black box to the right of the picture on the ';Background Copy'; layer.





8) In the toolbox select the ';Paintbrush'; and make the color white.





9) Now on the image, use the paintbrush to paint over the eyes. If all went right they should change to the color you set up previously.





10) IMPORTANT: When you're done right click on ';Background Copy'; in the layers dialog and select ';Apply Layer Mask';. This isn't required but if you save the image with the mask selected it will only save the black and white mask and not the entire image so doing this will make sure it saves right.








Hopefully that is easier for you to follow then it was for me to write =)
