6) Open closed eyes

One of the most common problems you’ll find with your photos is that someone in frame had their eyes closed at the crucial moment. Photoshop Elements can use some artificial intelligence magic to open them again: In Expert mode, select the Eye Tool on the left, then choose Open Closed Eyes from the tool options dialog at the bottom of the interface.

There is a caveat here that you will need a good photo of your subject with their eyes open (you can use some sample eye images instead, but the results tend to look a little weird). From the dialog that pops up, choose the image that has your replacement eyes in it, and after a few seconds the application should be able to fix them in the correct position.
