Rita, this is absolutely amazing! Perfect eye-opening technique! I am curious. Which technique did you use to do this?

Thank you, Sepiana. I masked the eye in on one side, did some cloning to restore the skin tone and the shadow under the eye and merged the layers. Cut out as a square, flipped horizontal, and masked that into the other side again with some cloning. Finished off with low opacity Toning with Topaz Simplify to even out remaining slight flaws in skin tone.

Frank, I love this! The smile on her face is priceless. Beautiful effect altogether!
I have not used the Face-Aware Liquify tool in Photoshop CC too much but the few times I used it I was quite impressed.

Rita, thanks for the detailed information! It is interesting how you used Topaz Simplify to even out the skin tone. I am adding this suggestion to my bag of tricks.
As a side note, . . . Elements 2018 has a new feature designed to open closed eyes. It does a pretty good job.

Helen, I really like this -- the "painterly" look, the tonal range. Great composite work!
