Re: how to widen or open eye
You should be very careful doing that, the eyes quickly start to look unnatural.
One way of doing it is using the liquify tool. Be sure to make a copy of the eye area, so you're working on a separate layer.
Shift+ctrl+x will open liquify. Use the function called bloat. You can then experiment with the settings on the right, with different brush sizes and intensity.
You'll want to use a very short light touch on each eye if you're going for the "natural" look. If not go crazy...

Re: how to widen or open eye
Hi Pat. I agree with Flice. The liquify is a good tool to use but it has limited latitude before the eye looks distorted. Other successful options are often:
- Copy the good open eye if there is one. Sometimes you need to position it carefully and match the catchlights. If you need the whole eye with eyelids you can sometime flip it horizontally, mask it in and adjust the catchlights.
- Borrow an eye from another picture of the same person. There are many ways to blend it in so that lighting and color matches.

To have an open left eye all I would have to do is --- copy, paste, and warp / distort the duplicate eye to place it in the right socket, and bam...

by Justin GoodeBefore I start, I know that I'm BRAND NEW. Regardless, this is a topic that is EXTREMELY serious for all of us around here.

by meg96Greetings Everyone,
I've got a portrait that needs a retouch of the upper LEFT eye socket area.
The skin there needs to be pulled back. I tried various "liquify" opps, but
nothing seems to leave it looking natural.
