Sometimes a photo is spoilt because a key figure has its eyes closed. You can open closed eyes with Photoshop. Let me show you how.
Step 1 : I have opened this photo for the tutorial. This is a photo of a colleague. His eyes are closed naturally because he is napping. Let's see how he would look with his eyes open.
Step 2 : I have clicked on the Zoom Tool. The magnifying glass icons on the top panel with a plus and minus sign are for zooming in and zooming out. You can also use the bracket [ ] keys for doing so. The first thing to do is to zoom into the image. I have zoomed in on the eye. The photo is a low resolution one.
Step 3 : Click on the Lasso Tool to select it. 
Step 4 : on the top panel set the Feather radius to 2 pixel.
Step 3 : Click on the Lasso Tool to select it. Step 4 : on the top panel set the Feather radius to 2 pixel.
Step 5 : I have drawn a selection carefully with the Lasso Tool around the eyelid.
Step 6 : The selection is visible as a colum of 'marching ants'.
Step 7 : Press CTRL+J on the keyboard to copy and paste the selection to a new layer. It is Layer 1.
Step 8 : I have opened this photo and zoomed in on the eye. This is the 'eye donor'.
Step 9 : Use the Lasso Tool as in Steps 3 to 6. Set a Feather radius of 5 pixels from the top panel. Make a selection.
Step 10 : Click on the 'donor' image and press CTRL+C (Copy) and then click on the photo of the sleeper and press CTRL+V (Paste). You will find the eye pasted on the sleeper photo.
Step 11 : Click on the Move Tool.
Step 12 : When you click the Move Tool you will find a bounding box as shown above.
Step 13 : If you do not see the bounding box, then look at the top panel. The Show Transform Controls (in PS CS2 or Bounding Box in PS7) should be ticked. This will make the selection visible.
Step 14 : Hover the cursor near a corner of the selection and a small bent arrow will appear. With it you will be able to rotate the selection as shown above.
Step 15 : When the eye is in place click the Move Tool and the Apply The Transformation dialogue box pops up. Click Apply.
Step 11 : Click on the Move Tool. Step 12 : When you click the Move Tool you will find a bounding box as shown above.Step 13 : If you do not see the bounding box, then look at the top panel. The Show Transform Controls (in PS CS2 or Bounding Box in PS7) should be ticked. This will make the selection visible. Step 14 : Hover the cursor near a corner of the selection and a small bent arrow will appear. With it you will be able to rotate the selection as shown above. Step 15 : When the eye is in place click the Move Tool and the Apply The Transformation dialogue box pops up. Click Apply.
Step 16 : Go the Layers/Channels/Paths pallette and click where shown to bring up the popup to change the Blend Mode.
Step 17 : These are the Blend Modes available. I have chosen Soft Light. It will depend on your image. It might be Overlay in your case. Just experiment.
Step 18 : The eye of the sleeper is now open. You may have to zoom in and out a few times to correct the perspective of the eye. You have to apply he transformation each time you make a change. (see Step 15).
Step 19 : Now drag Layer 2 which contains the eye to below Layer 1 which contains the eyelid we had cut and pasted on this layer in Step 7.
Step 20 : Layer 2 is now positioned below Layer 1.
Step 19 : Now drag Layer 2 which contains the eye to below Layer 1 which contains the eyelid we had cut and pasted on this layer in Step 7. Step 20 : Layer 2 is now positioned below Layer 1.
Step 21 : The sleeper has again closed his eyes. This is because the eyelid I have cut out is positioned over the eye.
Step 22 : Now click on Layer 1 to select it. It is the layer containing the eyelid we have cut out.
Step 23 : Go to Filter>Liquify.
Step 24 : The Liquify Filter dialogue box opens.
Step 25 : The Brush size, density and presure can be set from the controls on the right. Note the parameters I have set.
Step 24 : These are the tool used. The top one is called the Forward Warp Tool. We will be using it. The last like a magnifying glass is like the Zoom Tool.
Step 25 : I have zoomed in on the eyelid in the Liquify filter dialogue box.
Step 26 : The Hand Tool found on the left panel is used to reposition the image.
Step 27 : Click on the Forward Warp Tool.
Step 28 : The Forward Warp Tool's size can be increased or decreased with the bracket [ ] keys. I have deliberately chosen a large size.
Step 29 : I have used the tool to gently nudge the eyelid up. Click ok. Let us see the result.
The eye now appears naturally beneath the eyelid. That is all. Now go look for donors for an eye operation in Photoshop.
