Lightroom mobile can now open closed eyes in photos with one tap

Adobe added a generative AI tool to Lightroom’s mobile app that fixes photos where someone blinked, using other pictures of the same person as a guide.

What’s new
An Open Eyes quick action appears automatically when the app spots closed eyes, on iOS, iPadOS and Android.
Who it affects
Phone photographers, especially anyone taking group shots, and Lightroom mobile users.

Photoshop Elements has offered a similar fix for nearly a decade, but it borrows eyes from another photo, with mixed results. Lightroom instead generates new eyes that match the photo’s lighting and pose, using other images of the person in your library so colour, size and shape stay true. Photoshop can do this too, but not with one tap or for free.

Why it matters

Generative fixes are moving from professional tools into one-tap features in everyday apps. That makes edits easier, but also makes it harder to tell whether a photo shows what actually happened, which is why provenance labels and disclosure matter more.
