Slowly drag the Saturation slider leftward until the yellow color cast disappears.īy reducing the saturation of the problematic color channel, you can easily nix a color cast. If the teeth look a little yellow, turn your attention back to the Hue/Saturation controls (double-click the Hue/Saturation layer thumbnail to reopen its panel if you need to) and from the Channel menu above the Hue slider, choose Yellow. (There are other brush resizing keyboard shortcuts, but this one is the simplest to remember).Īs you paint inside the mask with a white brush, you reveal the lightening atop the teeth. To adjust brush size while you’re painting, tap the left bracket key () to increase it. If you mess up, press X to flip-flop your color chips so black is on top and then paint over that area again to hide the lightening. Mouse over to your image and then paint across the teeth to reveal the lightening in that area. The Brush tool and the color chips are circled in each panel. Here’s the Tools panel in Photoshop (left) and in Elements (right). Press B to grab the regular Brush tool and from the Brush Preset picker in the Options bar, choose a soft-edge brush that’s roughly teeth-sized. So press D to set the color chips at the bottom of your Tools panel to the default of black and white and then press X until white is on top. To reveal the lightening atop the teeth, we need to paint that area of the mask with white. To see the teeth better, zoom into your image by pressing Command + a few times, and then press and hold the spacebar while dragging your mouse to reposition the teeth so you can see them. When working with masks, remember that black conceals and white reveals. It’s light gray in Photoshop (left) and light blue in Elements (right). With the mask active, press Command + I to invert it so it goes from white to black.Ī border appears around the mask whenever it’s active. By adding black to the layer mask, you hide the layer’s content in that corresponding spot in your image. Think of a layer mask as digital masking tape, though whereas real masking tape is beige or blue, digital masking tape is black. Take a peek in your Layers panel and make sure the mask is active (it’s circled below). Now let’s use the adjustment layer’s mask to hide the lightening we just applied.
Here you can see the Hue/Saturation controls in Photoshop (left) and in Elements (right). (Don’t panic-we’ll fix that in a second).
Drag the Lighten slider rightward to approximately +50, and the whole image gets lighter. A new adjustment layer appears in your Layers panel and, depending on which version of Photoshop you have, a panel or a dialog box pops opens containing the sliders shown here. In the dialog box that appears, enter teeth for the layer name and then click OK.

Open an image in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer >Hue/Saturation (in Elements you need to be in Expert or Full Edit mode). All this adds up to a very efficient and very safe way to edit, as you’re about to learn. Each adjustment layer also come with a layer mask, which you can use to hide the change from the parts of the image that don’t need it. Since the adjustment is isolated on a layer all by itself, you can lower its layer opacity to lessen the strength of the change you made and you can easily trash the layer if you don’t like the results. When you employ an adjustment layer, the adjustment itself happens on a new layer, which safeguards your original image. (For the curious, you can’t do this in iPhoto or Photos, but you can do it in Aperture, Lightroom, and Pixelmator.) The power of adjustment layersīoth Photoshop and Elements include a handy array of adjustment layers that you can use to change the color and lighting in your image. As a bonus, this technique works in nearly any version of Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
