Adobe has introduced a groundbreaking feature for its Lightroom mobile app called “Open Eyes,” designed to resolve the common issue of closed eyes in photos. This innovative tool utilizes generative AI and promises a seamless fix, revolutionizing how we approach photo editing.
Exploring the Adobe Open Eyes Tool
When you open an image with closed eyes, this feature option in the Quick Actions menu comes into play. The AI generates new, open eyes by referencing other images of the same person from your Lightroom library, ensuring the match of eye shape, color, and size is as accurate as possible. This solution works on both individual and group shots, selectively adjusting only the necessary areas without disturbing the rest of the face.
Previously, similar functionalities existed in Adobe Photoshop Elements, which required manually pulling eye images from other photos, often yielding less-than-perfect results due to lighting mismatches or inappropriate expressions. In contrast, Lightroom’s AI-driven enhancement is more streamlined and effective.
Adobe offers two free uses of the “Open Eyes” feature in the Lightroom mobile app before requiring a subscription. Interestingly, initial tests showed that this Lightroom feature might use Google’s “Nano Banana” model instead of Adobe’s FireFly.
Not everyone may embrace this innovation. For purists, the idea of editing reality in such a manner raises questions about the authenticity of photography. However, for casual photographers aiming to capture perfect group shots for social media, the tool could be invaluable.
Looking into more AI-driven creative tools, Adobe’s acquisition of Topaz Labs highlights significant shifts in AI-powered design.
Currently exclusive to Lightroom mobile, “Open Eyes” is a part of Adobe’s Quick Actions suite, though it is yet to make its debut on desktop versions of the software.
