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? :)
