one person with closed eyes in group photo

[J Jones]

I have a group photo where one person has eyes closed. Can someomeone help me with adding some open eyes. I don't have another photo with the person's eyes open. He has dark eyes.

JJones, welcome to Retouchpro.
what software are you using?
select the eyes from someone else and copy, then paste them.
use free-transform to make them fit.
mask out the extraneous parts

May not be the best but, I used the left eye of the guy on the far left, made a copy of the eye and flipped it placed and adjusted both eyes the best I could.

J Jones, Welcome to RetouchPRO Hope you enjoy your stay here and make lots of friends. Poke around, ask questions, have fun!

FAQ: Will you do my restoration/retouch/repair for me?
No. This is a site for learning, and we will gladly help you learn to do it yourself. We have a "Image Help" forum just for that purpose. Click on "Forums" on the navbar to get there. There is also a "Classifieds" forum if you're willing to pay one of our members to work on your photo.

It will help if you let us know what photo editing software you are using, what experience, if any, that you have, and what you have already tried to do to improve your photo.

Generally speaking when we fix pictures at the low posting resolutions they will not print very well, will be pixelated, and be of poor quality over all.. if you work on your own photo or post a link to a high resolution version, you will wind up with a much higher quality retouch because of the higher resolution.

You can host your higher resolution image elsewhere and attach a link, but also in your posts, please attach an under 100k version (so the thread remains useful in the future, regardless of external links) as you did here (although a rotated version would have been nice).

Other Hosts if you do not have your own site:
ImageVenue.com (3Meg max, free) pixentral.com (2Meg max, free) photobucket.com (1 Meg max free, 5 Meg PRO) mediafire.com (100 Meg per file, free) post a link in the thread to the site that is hosting the larger image.

I copied the girls eyes, put them on their own layer , moved them over the mens eyes resized using the transform tool, masked like Granny said

used the clone tool to copy the ladies eye ball onto her closed side sooo, I did the center guys eyes, the lady next to him, and the eyes on the man with glasses

Ran some Noiseware and some sharpening because of all the pixelation..

Below is a sample of moving the eyes around... Copy, paste, adjust... you can do this with just about all the photo editing programs out there.

I hope this helps you learn to do it yourself. Have fun and try it, You will like it! 'Tis very addictive!

Good luck! looking foreword to seeing some of your work!

Thanks for the great responses. They were really helpful. I am working on some ideas of my own as well.
