Sorry, I only have 3 min. No time to return the sharpness to the eyes. Using the lousy Company's computer.

that doesn't seem to be what TS wanted..... more of correcting exposure then there's very slight blurring...but yar...3 mins can't do much lar

but then again, u need to get the proper exposure first b4 doing anything else downstream.

so in a sense, its PART of the process.

i'd suggest that TS do a clone/ heal spots first... b4 even attempting to do surface blurring and such

No problem, will share the workflow if the TS is happy with it, otherwise it's back to the drawing board... err I mean photoshop. ;p

Hmm... ok, that's probably due to the contouring. My contouring skill is very lousy. Here is one is without contouring:
