Are you sure this is what photographers do? It throws the light source way out as the shine in the eyes are coming from opposite directions. It's more likely that this is a guideline to the second eye, and then the second eye is warped until it's very close to symmetrical - that way the light source remains intact and the colouring for each eye can be altered separately to suit the light source and direction of shadows.
@RobWagstaffsLife If the image were to be done that way, I think the Liquify tool would better serve that purpose, however you can not see the other layers when using liquify.
As far as the light, most studio shots use soft light, so the discrepancy in light direction is unnoticed.
What if I want to change the size of the copied eye before I attach it? If I put the eyes on a other person in a group photo for example? Is much more difficult?
@Nouakchott You can change the size cutout with the move tool, and putting it on another image is no different, you only have to add the other image as a layer under the layer containing the cutout.
Thanks for the response. small boxes appeared when I cropped the picture first. Then I can change the horizon, but I can not see the changes in real time though. I´m using CS5. I guess I can do it with the ruler tool as well.
I could not do the step 1(straightening photo) Everything else was well instructed. Could someone help me with that step 1 please. I´m new with Photoshop.
@Nouakchott@Nouakchott To straighten the photo select the layer that contains the photo (if it's the background layer it may be locked, so make a copy to edit or unlock it).
Select the move tool. You should notice small boxes on each side and each corner of the image. If you hover near the corner boxes the pointer will switch to a circle arrow. When this happens, click and drag to rotate the image to straighten.
To make a guide line click on the ruler part of the screen (above and to the left) and drag to the location you want to place the guide line. To remove the guideline click View/delete guides.
After you cut out the area of the eye, and preform the New Layer via Copy, highlight the new layer that only contains the cutout.
Select the Move tool (top right of the tool pallet), click on the cut out and drag it to it's new position. With this tool still selected, you can also use the arrows on your keyboard make small movements to fine tune.
finally someone uses brown eyes as an example

@leafblowinSK8 It sounds like you have the background layer selected then you try to flip the image.
When you make the new layer, make sure it's the one you are working on.
