This was a tough one. My Portrait Photographer Maree Turner asked me to open the little girl's eyes. At first I thought this would be a breeze as Maree had given me two similar images of this shot, one with the little girl's eyes closed and one open. I initially thought that the new feature in Photoshop CS3 would solve all my problems. The idea here is to drag one image into the other and use the auto-align function by going Edit>Auto Align Layers... unfortunately this function didn't solve my problem as the eyes of the little girl in each image were to far apart to work. In the end I had to do the whole thing manually by dragging one image into the other. I then used the warp function to match the eyes. To help with the process I reduced the opacity on the top layer and then matched the eyes. Then I applied a layer mask to the top layer and painted in the open eyes. Job done!
