## Summary

Adobe announced that Lightroom mobile on iOS, iPadOS and Android now includes an Open Eyes Quick Action. When the app detects closed eyes, it shows a one‑tap icon that uses generative AI to generate replacement eyes that match the subject’s lighting, pose, color, size and shape. The AI draws on other photos of the same person stored in the user’s Lightroom library, so the result looks natural.

According to DPReview, the free version of Lightroom mobile lets users try the Open Eyes tool twice before a prompt appears asking them to subscribe to an Adobe Creative Cloud plan that provides additional AI credits. The feature builds on a similar capability in Photoshop Elements, which historically copied eyes from a different photo and often produced mixed results. Photoshop’s own generative AI tools can also fix eyes, but they require more steps and are not free.

## Key points

- Lightroom mobile now offers a one‑tap Open Eyes Quick Action that reopens closed eyes.
- The AI draws reference eyes from other images of the same person in the user’s library.
- Free users can try the tool twice before being prompted to subscribe for more AI credits.

## Why it matters

One‑tap eye reopening lets mobile photographers salvage shots without desktop tools, and the freemium limit pushes users toward Adobe’s paid Creative Cloud AI credits.
