Easily changing Eyeball position/direction on a subject

A suggestion on a feature for Photoshop... The ability to easily change the "eyeball" position (with a slider or some other method) so that the subject who was not looking at the camera now appears to look directly at the camera. If Adobe does not have this feature, it would be a great addition. It would be especially great for group shots where one or more persons are not looking at the camera when the photo is taken.

@StefanVon have you tried using generative fill with Nano Banana or Flux instead? Solutions have changed dramatically in 2+ years.

Hi Kevin... Thank you! I never knew that PS had this feature. I just tried it and it is very impressive! Thank you!

Sorry I forgot about the Neural Filter "Smart Portrait" - that is what allows the iris to move along the horizontal axis. It still what I would consider a "work in progress" as some results are not the best, but it does work as you requested.

looking right(ish) again not the best results.

 

This is the interface found under Neural Filters.

Yes, you are correct that Liquify does perform "Eye Adjustments". However, the Liquify Eye Adjustment tool does not have the ablitiy to horizontally change the position of the eye's iris (or eyeball position) on the surface of the body of the eye.

Hi @Bruce30271199ivx2 have you tried face aware in Liquify? It already does this.
