Alright, I made this pretty fast, but it covers everything.
Open Photoshop.
Take what ever picture you want to use and open it up, it has to have a pretty clear shot of the eyes, or it might not work.
Take the clone stamp, and hold Alt+click somewhere on the eye lash area.
Clone it and click a little bit lower on the eye. Do this to both eyes, unless you want it winking. You may have to smudge it a little, if it doesn’t blend very well. Lucky for me, this picture worked fine. When finished, it should look something like this:
Do pretty much the same thing with the lower eye lids, but make them a little higher on the eye. Make sure the eyes aren’t completely closed.
Save that picture as whatever it was named -2. So if it was eye, it would be eye-2.
Use the clone stamp again to close the upper eye lid all of the way.
Save that as whatever it was named -3.
Thats all you need Photoshop for.
Open you Gif Animator. (I use Ulead, but they all work.)
Add your three images to it.
Make a copy of the second image (eye-2 or whatever its named) and put it after the third image.
Then select both of the eye-2 pictures, and the eye-3 picture and set the frame rate to something low like 2.
Take the first image, and set its frame rate to anywhere between 50-100. I use 70.
Now play it. If it doesn’t look right, you can change the frame rate, or delete frames.
Thats how mine came out, I changed the frame rate on the last pictures to 1, and deleted the second frame.
Heres some more I’ve made this way:
