Adobe Lightroom mobile can now open closed eyes with one tap
🎧 Listen to this story
Adobe added the Open Eyes Quick Action to Lightroom mobile for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. It appears over an image when the app detects that one person or a group has closed eyes, then uses generative AI to create open eyes matched to the photo’s lighting and pose, drawing on other images of the same person in the Lightroom library to reproduce their color, size, and shape.
According to DPReview, users of the free version can try the feature twice before being prompted to subscribe to an Adobe Creative Cloud plan with more credits for AI tools. Photoshop Elements has offered a similar function for nearly a decade, but sources the replacement eyes from another photo of the person; Lightroom mobile generates them with AI instead.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
The tool expands generative AI’s role in everyday photo editing by automating a correction that previously required choosing another image of the same person. The two-use limit in the free version also ties access to AI credits and Creative Cloud subscriptions, according to DPReview.
