How to open eyes in Photoshop using Generative Fill

1. A few words about how to open eyes in Photoshop using Generative Fill 

One of the main reasons why you often get closed-eye photos is because of the timing of the camera flash. Our eyes naturally close to protect themselves when suddenly exposed to bright light, and the speed at which this happens often exceeds the speed of the camera's shutter. Therefore, despite your best efforts, you may often find yourself blinking at the exact moment the photo is taken. In addition, squinting while taking a photo or natural factors such as sunlight and fatigue also contribute to closed-eye photos.
