Today we are going to learn how to whiten teeth in photoshop! Are you excited!? There are various reasons one may need to whiten teeth in photoshop, so this is how you do it without using the creepy dodge tool that makes your mouth glow.
So the first thing that I do is select the ‘lasso’ tool and draw around the teeth that I want to be whitened, you can use the magic selection tool, or whatever is easiest for you to select the teeth. I just use the lasso tool because for me, that’s what I like.

After that you are going to go up to “Layer” > “New Adjustment Layer” “Color Balance”
Then when it pops up, click on “highlights” and adjust the highlights to be a cooler temperature. If it’s a darker image you may need to click on mid-tones or shadows, but in most cases that will do it. Then you just save your image and voila done. So easy!

My name is Cherise and I am a photoshop expert, I come across many people who are baffled by photoshop. They think that what I do is some sort of magic, that they send me a picture I go abracadabra and poof amazing images. But the truth is, I have spent many many hours learning to do what I do, perfecting it and crying tears of frustration.
I am a self taught editor, mostly trial and error and lots and lots of practice. I want to make the editing process easier for you and teach you how simple it really is, so that you don’t have to cry tears of frustration to perfect your images.

Do you do the same thing if the person has dark lipsticks spots? I’m trying to decide if I should invest in photoshop or lightroom. Any pros/cons from your perspective? Thanks
