By Sue Chastain, About.com

You don't need special toothpaste if you've got Paint Shop Pro! The dodge tool makes quick work of whitening and brightening your smile.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

  1. Open the image.

  2. Choose Window > Duplicate and close the original.

  3. Choose Window > New Window. This will open a duplicate window of the same image.

  4. Zoom one of the windows so that you can see the teeth as large as possible. Set the other window view to Normal Viewing [1:1].

  5. Arrange the two windows so you can see both the zoomed view and the normal view at the same time.

  6. Select the Retouch tool.

  7. In the tool options first tab, set the opacity 20, hardness 0, density 100, step 25, and adjust the size so it is slightly smaller than the teeth.

  8. From the second tab of the tool options, set the retouch mode to dodge.

  9. Carefully paint over the teeth with the dodge tool to lighten them.

Tips:

  1. For better accuracy, select the teeth before working with the dodge tool.
