Whiten Teeth in Photoshop

Saturday, 05 January 2008

How do you whiten teeth in your photographs? No, you don't need to pay a single cent out of your pocket to ask a dentist to correct the colour of your teeth and you take the photograph again. Now, you can do it yourself in Photoshop within 5 minutes! Yes, it is so easy to whiten your teeth in Photoshop. You do not have to be a professional digital designer to do this task.

Before we begin this tutorial, I must apologise that I will use my own photo as a demo. I know my teeth are damn out of the world ugly, but this is a good example!

Step 1: As usual, open the photo in Photoshop. Zoom in to your teeth until you are comfortable to do a selection.

Look at my yellow teeth!

Step 2: Press L to get to the Lasso tool and carefully select your teeth, leaving out the gums and the lips! This is important, do not select your gums and lips!

Step 3: Go to Select>Feather and enter 1 pixel to smooth the edge of the selection. This will prevent any awkward edges after you do the adjustment.

Step 3: Now just simply go to Image>Adjustment>Hue/Saturation. In the dropdown box, select Yellow and tune down the saturation level.

Step 4: Now just go to Image>Adjustment>Hue/Saturation again. Select Master and tune up the lightness level to give your teeth abit of sparkles! Do not tune the lightness level too high, or else the retouching will be very fake.
