Why paying money for a dentist if you can do it by yourself at home. You just need a little bit time, photograph and Photoshop.

1.
 

Open a photograph where you want to make teeth look whiter.

We were in a small country Slovenia where I have took a photograph of the soccer fans.

 
 
2.
 

Select Lasso Tool (shortcut is a key L).

 
 
3.
 

Make a selection around the teeth.

 
 
4.
 

Click on Layer, New Adjustment Layer in choose Hue/Saturation...

 
 
5.
 

A new window will pop-up and you can name your new adjustment layer or just leave it by default.

Click on button OK.

 
 
6.
 

A new windows will show up , where you can set up colors and their saturation.

Click on Master and choose Yellows.

 
 
7.
 

Settings for yellow shades will show up.

Set Saturation to -100 (check the picture).

 
 
8.
 

Set the Master again, which represents all colors.

Set the Lightness to +25 (check the picture).

 
 
9.
 

You will see that all yellowish colors has erased and the whole selection is lighten up.

 
 
10.
 

In a set of layers you will see the adjustment layer and a layer mask in a black color.

Click on a layer mask (check the picture).

 
 
11.
 

We will fill the mask with black color and then in next steps slowly unmask it.

Click on Edit and choose Fill...

In a new windows in a drop-down menu select Black and click on OK.

 
 
12.
 

The photograph is unmasked and just like at the beginning.

Mask is a great tool and in next steps we will show it's powers :)

 
 
13.
 

Select the Brush Tool (shortcut is a key B).

With that tool we will unmask the layer.

 
 
14.
 

Press the button D and then X, tp set up the white/black colors.

 
 
15.
 

We will set up the size of a brush tool.

Click on a document with a right click and choose the custom size of Brush Tool and Select Hardness just like I did.

 
 
16.
 

We will set up a little bit weaker Brush tool to 30& of it's powers.

In a toolbar above set Opacity to 30%.

 
 
17.
 

Now click and drag easily on are with teeth.

If you made too much of whiteness, press the X key and correct it. And then press the X key again to whiten again.

 
 
18.
 

We are finished.

Does anyone knows where Slovenia is? :)

Sometimes, words heal better than medicine. Motivational, blessing, and inspiration quotes have a gentle yet powerful way of touching emotions we didn’t even know were waiting to be felt. When we feel lost, they remind us of our direction. When we feel small, they tell us we are part of something greater. When we feel alone, they whisper that others have walked the same road and survived.
