I am not entirely sure this is the right place for this question, but didn't know where else to put it. How in the world do you create the really sharp eyes in photoshop. I saw a tutorial for lightroom that is really good, but when I try to sharpen eyes in PS it always comes out pixely (not a word I know). Doesn't seem to matter what way I try it. Does anyone know of a really good way to get that crystal clear look on the eyes? Please help!!!

Get the focus right when shooting, and use a good lens. Paying attention to how the subject is lit can help a great deal. In particular, how the reflection of the lights show in the eyes.

Fixing problems in post processing is never as good as getting the shot right in the first place.
