You are a Good Dentist

You remember when your parents or girlfriend see your photo and said to you “your teeth are very yellowish”. Because in real life we are animated, and minor imperfections or yellowish teeth’s less noticeable. When you freeze a moment in time and give the eye a chance to concentrate on these minor imperfections then everybody knows the truth. Now its time to say, go to the doctor and check your eyes because my teeth’s are perfect.

Whitening Teeth the Professional Way

Everyone (Well, just about) gets their picture taken and they see the final picture and they are shocked by how yellow their teeth are. Of course, thanks to the genius’ who created Photoshop, we can easily make those teeth white. Now a lot of people make the mistake of wanting to make the teeth white and that’s what they do. They take a white color and start coloring those teeth. What you really want to do is actually remove the color from the teeth. Removing the color gets rid of that yellow color and makes them look white and clean.

Whitening Teeth and Eyes

Whenever the need arises to make a natural element white or whiter, it’s tempting to set the foreground color to white and reach for the airbrush. This works if applied with care, but it’s easier to achieve a more realistic effect using other Photoshop tools. Here, a small amount of whitening applied to the model’s teeth and eyes will lift the whole image.
