Adobe Lightroom mobile adds one-tap generative AI Open Eyes fix

AI summary

Adobe announced that Lightroom mobile on iOS, iPadOS and Android can now open closed eyes in photos with a single tap: when the app detects closed eyes it shows an Open Eyes Quick Action icon over the image. Adobe says the feature uses generative AI so the replacement eyes match the photo's lighting and pose, drawing on other images of the same person in the user's Lightroom library as reference for eye color, size and shape, and that it adjusts only the area needing repair. According to DPReview, free Lightroom mobile users can try Open Eyes twice before a prompt to subscribe to a Creative Cloud plan with more AI credits, while Adobe describes the feature as free to use. DPReview's testing observed the app interface possibly invoking Google's Nano Banana model rather than Adobe Firefly, but Adobe did not state the underlying model in its announcement.

In-depth insight

Adobe is putting generative AI retouching behind a one-tap Quick Action in its mainstream mobile photo app, and DPReview's testing indicates free users hit a subscription prompt after two uses.
