What happened
Adobe says Lightroom mobile on iOS, iPadOS and Android now offers an Open Eyes Quick Action — a one-tap, generative-AI fix that appears when the app detects closed eyes, using other photos of the person in your library as reference.
Why it matters
The tool saves an otherwise good shot by generating replacement eyes that match lighting, pose, color, size and shape — though free users get only two tries before being prompted to subscribe to a Creative Cloud plan.
WHO IT HITSCasual and professional photographers using Lightroom on phones and tablets can rescue group shots and portraits without manual retouching; free-tier users will hit a two-use cap before needing a Creative Cloud subscription.

Adobe's addition brings a familiar photo-fix capability to mobile. Opening closed eyes has been available in Photoshop Elements for nearly a decade, but that approach pulls replacement eyes from another photo of the subject, with mixed results depending on differences between the two images. Lightroom mobile's version relies on generative AI instead, so the replacement eyes match the lighting and pose. It also draws on other images of the same person in the user's Lightroom library to match color, size and shape. The same kind of fix is possible in Adobe's Photoshop using its generative AI tools, but it is not a one-tap operation and it is not free. Free Lightroom mobile users can try Open Eyes twice before being prompted to subscribe to a Creative Cloud plan with more AI credits, according to DPReview.
