You don't need special toothpaste if you've got Photo-Paint! The dodge tool makes quick work of whitening and brightening your smile.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
- Open the image.
- Choose Image > Duplicate and close the original.
- Choose Window > New Window. This will open a duplicate window of the same image.
- Zoom one of the windows so that you can see the teeth as large as possible. Set the other window view to 100%.
- Arrange the two windows so you can see both the zoomed view and the 100% view at the same time.
- Type V to activate the Effects tool, or choose the Effects tool from the pop-out toolbar under the Paint tool.
- From the property bar, set the Effects tool to Dodge/Burn. From the brush type menu, choose Dodge Midtones.
- Adjust the brush size so it is slightly smaller than the teeth and set the soft edge to 100. A dodge amount of 50 is good.
- Carefully paint over the teeth with the dodge tool to lighten them.
Tips:
- If you overdo it, go to Edit > Fade Last Command.
- For better accuracy, select the teeth before working with the dodge tool.
