How to whiten your teeth in Photoshop
1. Open your image: Select Open from the File menu, choose your image and Click Open.
2. Prepare your image for whiten teeth in Photoshop: Look at your image closely. If there is only one subject in the photo, you only need to do the bleaching process once. If there are more topics, you need to do this several times.
Complete each of these steps separately for each topic. That way you can adjust the teeth of one subject without affecting the other in your original image. Zoom in on the teeth of the first person by pressing CTRL (for Windows) or CMD (for Mac) on the keyboard and the + sign until you see the full smile.
3. Draw a selection around the teeth with the Lasso tool: Select Lasso Tool from the Toolbar. Draw a selection around the teeth. If you use a mouse, the selection may not be completely accurate. However, you still have a chance to adjust it later.
4. Create Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer: In the Layers panel, select New Fill or Adjustment Layer. This opens a drop-down menu with options for the adjustment layer. Select Hue/Saturation. You should now see a new Hue/Saturation layer above the Background layer in the Layers panel.
If you only need to whiten one set of teeth, you can leave that layer name alone. To whiten multiple sets of teeth, rename the layer. By changing the name, you can easily identify which dentition the layer is associated with.
5. Set Layer Options to Yellow: For teeth whitening, we will focus on reducing the yellow teeth in question. In the Hue/Saturation layer properties panel, click where Master says to open a drop-down menu.
Select Yellow from the drop-down menu. Any changes we make to this adjustment layer affect only the yellows in the selection.
6. Lower the yellow saturation: Drag the saturation slider to the left. Don’t go all the way to the left, your image edits will look fake. Concentrate on gently reducing the yellow in your teeth.
7. Check your work: As you make changes, zoom out to see how the image gets further away. With the image resized, click the eye icon next to the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer in the Layers panel.
Clicking the eye icon toggles the yellow adjustments on and off. If your edits seem too obvious, go back and make the necessary adjustments.
8. Whiten your teeth: Now that you’re happy with the yellow adjustments, click “Yellow” in the Properties panel. Select Master. Now your adjustments affect all colors in the selection.
Drag the Brightness slider to the right to make your teeth shine. As before, you can zoom in and out or toggle the adjustment layer on and off to check your work.
9. Clear the selection area: If you didn’t select all your teeth correctly or accidentally selected your lips or gums, now is the time to make your selection more accurate.
Check the thumbnail of the layer mask for the hue/saturation layer in the Layers panel. The thumbnail is filled with the foreground color of the document (in this case, black). The areas we have selected and adjusted will be visible in white (the background color of the document).
To quickly adjust the selection, do the following:
- Select Brush tool from the Toolbar.
- To paint areas that should not be bleached (lips, gums, etc.), select the foreground color (black) as your paint color. Color these areas to remove them from the selection.
- If you want to paint in areas you missed in your first selection (parts of teeth you may have missed), select the background color (white) as your paint color. Color these areas to add them to the selection.
10. Whiten teeth for an extra subject and finish
If there are more people in your image, go back to step 3 and start the process again for each remaining person. Remember, you never want your teeth to look like the most obvious part of your face.
