Whiten Teeth

Select the Zoom Tool from the Tool’s toolbar and click the man’s face to zoom in on his teeth. We zoomed in to about 120%.

Now, select the Paintbrush from the Tool’s toolbar. On the Tool Options Palette use these settings: Size: 15 Hardness: 18 Step: 25 Density: 100 Thickness: 100 Rotation: 0 Opacity: 32 Blend Mode: Lighten

Once you’ve made changed your Tool Option settings, click the Foreground Swatch on the Materials Palette. In the Material Properties dialog, click the white box in the lower right corner of the colored boxes, and then click OK.

Now just click and drag on the teeth to start painting them. To get the most natural look, don’t just click and drag across all the teeth at once, but paint each individual tooth until you get the result that looks the best to you. When you’re done with the man’s teeth, pan over and whiten the bride’s teeth.

Brighten Eyes

To brighten eyes, zoom in on the bride’s eyes, the same way you did in Step 3.

Now, select the Dodge Tool from the Tool’s toolbar. On the Tool Option’s Palette use these settings: Size: 15 Hardness: 28 Step: 25 Density: 100 Thickness: 100 Rotation: 0 Opacity: 27

Once you’ve changed your settings in the Tool Option’s Palette, click on the whites of the bride’s eyes and begin painting. Once you’ve completed her eyes, you can repeat your steps to brighten the man’s eyes.

That’s all there is to it. Now, you can take what you’ve learned and whiten the teeth in all your photos. Plus, you can use the eye-brightening technique we’ve shown you to give jewelry extra sparkle!
